BeastX is it the best

[adrianhn]

Like so many people we have had sleepless nights waiting to get our hands on this little gem...or is it ?...I know there are a lot of people who have had no problems at all,but being one that has had problems and having spent a lot of time on the MB website trying to get answers and other heli sights trying to resolve my problems....I really am concerned there are a lot of others out there also having problems......in fact the deeper you dig the more you find.Naturally if you are one of the lucky ones with a faultless unit you would not hear about all the other people with problems...perhaps I was just unlucky,there is no product on the planet which is 100% perfect and problems will occur.As a side comment it does seem that version 2 is having more difficulty than version 1.
I know that a lot of people have had problems with the Align unit...I have never had a single worry....

although they may well pass quality control sitting on a bench being electronically tested but these things are subject to another dimension and stresses when being shaken and thrown around the sky

whats the general thought amongst those who have had actual faults or setup problems...dont get me wrong at the price I want it to be a fantastic success,but is world demand for them stretching the quality control..are there recurring problems which need resolving

lets have your comments good bad or indifferent

its by far the best flybarless unit in its price bracket !
v-bar is the best flybarless unit in the whole wide world
but is over £100 more than a beastX but you can pick up a v-bar today im pretty sure you can get a beastX today anywhere

I had issues with mine, but they were down to me. If I had researched more I would have realised that I was drawing far too much current not had the rx brown out. Now that its working properly, its the nuts!

It's not the best, It's not the worse.

It all depends on what you look for in a unit that best fits your needs.

As I've said in similar threads, it's the only FBL unit I've got experience with but it's great. I always hear that the Vbar is the best u can get, but I should think so as it's around double the price of the BeastX. The best? Not quite, but I argue its the best value for money

[Jamin_00]

its the best value for money

Agreed

it's the only FBL unit I've got experience with

I suspect this is the case for the majority of Beastx pilot's as this little unit has done more for FBL than even the 3G did.
After trying the 3G I said never again will I try FBL then the Beast came along and that was it, SOLD

[Brian Gifford]

I tried the Align 3G before the Beast, & the Beast wins for me hands down.

Unfortunately, sometimes faulty units make it through QC, and this can affect 3G, Beast, etc.

This is no consolation if it's you with the faulty unit, but in my experience, and also most Beast users on the forum, the Beast is excellent value for money, and it certainly does everything I wanted/expected.

Really? MiniV is £235 (rec retail) Beast is £150 (rec retail) Then the USB interface adds £25. So not double. Add to this the fact that you can use it with 2 satellites so will cater for any size electric without the need of a seperate rx, is capable of datalogging, is upgradeable without buying a seperate usb controller, doesn't suffer with QC issues. Yes you need a pc but if you don't have one of those shame on you. I could go on but I'm bored now.

Vbar is best. IMO. So now you heard it again.

Not tryd a v bar yet but i know if you don't mined the price v bars
proberbly one of the better units to choose, for me i well rate the
Beast X i run v1 on my 700n and v2 on my 600n, i think these units
are the dogs bo##ocks for the dosh!
I have spoted other folk saying things like near enough to 6 degrees
in set ups good enough! i don't think so!! sure it'l work but no way
can you expect to get top perfomance from any FBL unit if the setup
is not spot on! that encludes sevo frame rates and resolution
spectrum HS6040s work for me
Try playing a game of football on 2/3's of a full pitch!!!!

I have both the V-Bar v5 and the BeastX running back to back.

I can confirm the difference is minimal... So close it would be splitting hairs.

The bonus with the V-Bar is you have a built in receiver and very soon the governor hence less hardware on your heli.

Updated my V-Bar to the "Pro" version and the extra parameters are making this unit awesome.
