im getting a gaui 550 trading it straight up for one of the traxxas summits i dont drive at all any more. i would like to hear about that 450x diesel. i wont buy eflight since i got the blade 400 (cheap parts to try and compete) . they are decently priced except for that x which is way over priced for what it is . but i hear the beast x is in the top 5 for ease of adjustment. heck its probably in the top 3. but i learned from the blade 400 that horizons servos and the ungodly gyro they had on the stocker that they were out to make as much profit on their units as they could. get some orange on the tail and on them skids that blue will blend in with trees believe it or not.

The beastx and Ar7200bx are fantastic units. I have had both. Even though i fly V-bar exclusively now i would not hesitate to use it again.
As for the Blade 400x, I have not flown one myself but a friend has one that i helped him setup the FBL unit. He says its not even comparable to his old blade 400. Unfortunately hes on the other side of the island. Maybe next time I meet up with him I can get a flight in. Last time I spoke to him he said he had around a 100 flights and everything was still going strong.If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

well the price definately reflects then as the b400 stock servos would strip in mid flight. i was also amazed that they actually used carbon fiber frames and not the cheap plastic. i have a mikado 5.0 blue on my trex 600. i picked up a skookum 360 i was trying to fit on the fully upgraded b400 but no room so its either going to see the trex 500 or maybe this 550 im getting ahold of.Comment

Right on bro!
Happy Birthday...
I went to my favorite store on Saturday (where I get stuff for good prices) to buy the new Carbon Cub or the Mig 15, but he was all out!
so I picked this up for about $50 less than hobbbytown, I put flaps on it and she is ready to go

I got the same bird. It's a nice plane. I put flaps and retracts on it. I haven't flow mine in over 3 months.

No only three cell. I believe it's an APC 10x7. I don't have a big field to fly at so I don't have the need for speed. I have it listed for sale locally for $120 BNF and no one even showed any interest.If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!Comment

I just bought a new tail servo. Hitec HSG-5084. I've never been a fan of E-Flite or PKZ servo's. Motor/esc and all important customer support are normally awesome though. I'll replace the cyclic servos eventually. This is a bad-a$$ heli, I can't wait to get better and open up the flight envelope. The 130x dropped, having QC issues with it already, but my buddy bought one and is going to let me fly it. I'm thinking of placing the 120sr and mcpx v2 up for sale to snag one.Comment

I know right?
It's more of a field thing. It requires more real estate. I don't need to go far to fly my helis. It's also much easier to take around too. I still have one fixed wing. A Tech One Venus. Fun plane, cheap and easy to fix best of all even a small baseball field is more than enough.

the thing about the mcpx is it is almost unbreakable and i will use mine as a sacraficial lamb before any of the bigger birds. so you changed out the tail servo on that 450 x already ? any particular reason why i thought they got their game together on this one ? does the tail blow out ?Comment

Yea the mcpx is a tough little bird, kinda why I wanted the 130x but it's having some QC issues. The 300x is suppose to be released July 19th in the States. It's already released overseas. Containers are stock in Cali in customs and todays the 4th so nothing is prob getting done.
No blowout, just an annoying tail wag I've been trying to solve. I was reading thread after thread at Helifreak and guys replaced the tail servo with a better one and it eliminated the wag so I figured wth may as well. I normally replace servo's anyway in certain setups. I never was a fan of the e-flite servo's so this is just starting a process I would have done eventually anyway. The heli itself is amazing, I wouldn't consider the tail servo needing replaced a deal breaker by any means. I can't wait until I get better at flying. This is the bird I'm going to learn the most from I believe! The 450 3D also looks like an amazing value and heli.Comment
