450 Flybarless conversion

How could the 450x flybar head be converted to flybarless?

I thought Blade 450X was FBL, I didn't realize they made a FB model, best way to go would be to get a genuine Blade FBL head if they are no longer available I used Tarot on two Blade 400's I converted.

You are correct. Blade 450X is a flybarless with a stock AR7200BX controller (supposedly). You can convert a flybar to flybarless, but it will cost you more. It's better and cheaper just too buy another 450X helicopter.

You will just need a new head (like linked below, or similar) and a flybarless controller. Honestly, I would upgrade all servos as well.

The one I have is the 450X 3D.

Yours is the 450 3D (no X).. The 450X was flybarless.

Like LoveRC said, it's easier, cheaper and better just to look for a used 450X or similar FBL heli. Buying all the parts separately to do the conversion would end up costing more than the value of the heli.
