it will not look like this when im done its getting a whole make over
working on the tear down now
it is a little bigger than a 250
the 250 has a 205 mm blade the X2 has a 255 blade

Looks nice, was it an ebay sale or a forum buy?

 

[heli-maniac]

i got it of a heli forum and got a super deal on it
its got a few little problems but nuthin big just made a parts order and wow i broke the bank at 24 bucks
the sad part is there are not many blades for it you got gaui or edge
the gauis are 30.00 a set and the edge are 40 a set

 

[murankar]

Those seem expensive, my 325mm Revolutions cost $36. I hope those are good blades.

 

[heli-maniac]

i got a set of edge blades for it they should be fine till i crash it
but ya when they cost as much as good 450 blades its alittle pricy
i picked up a set of the 326 Rail blades for my 450 for 20 bucks they sell for 40

 

[heli-maniac]

here is the 255 edge blade next to a align 450 blade

Make sure when you put it back together, you put the radius arms (swash driver) the OTHER way. It's mounted wrong in the picture. The arm should go across the head block, not out from it.

Looks like a nice kit, hope it flies as well as it looks.

Looks like a very fast heli. Thank god I,m not flying it, it would not last long with my 2 left thumbs. Tony has good eyes I had to blow the pic up on the IPad to see what he was talking about. Hope the build goes well and you get it in the air soon. Cheers A.

I just saw the extreme angle of the radius arms. Full throw one way or the other on the swash, and they are popping off.

The X2 is an awesome little heli. Anyone considering a Trex 250, don't, get this one instead. A lot of guys flying them in Capetown at the indoor stadium i used to fly at.
They would take a crash very well. Most guys could crash them on the concrete and have them flying again in a few minutes.

pics are not that great this time for some reason

 

[Tony]

Lookin' good Jesse.

 

[heli-maniac]

thanks Tony
sure hope it flies well

 

[Tony]

I have no doubts that it will. Gaui is a great brand.

 

[heli-maniac]

was thinking of pulling the ar7200bx off the 450 to put on it to see what it dose then just putting the new one back on the 450 when it gets here
but got to wait on the wire loom anyway so i didnt
