blade 500 x vs trexx 500

[Cleveland]

which one is better blade 500 x or the trex 500 pro or 3d. can the blade 500 x do the same stuff as all the trex 500 catagory

[Sharpedge]

In the right hands the 500X will do anything that the Align 500s can do. I have not seen a blade 500 yet but have a 450 and it's ok. With all the plastic on the 500X, to get it to look like a 500pro will cost a little more and the stock machine already costs more to start with. If the upgrades/bling are required is another issue.

They will all do the same stuff just the Align will be much better quality and prob fly loads better too. Blades are in the cheapy range.


The Align 500 is one of the best heli's IMO, they truly do rock.

as the blade 500x is not released yet it will be hard to compare the blade with the align.The blade 500 is carbon frames heres a link.
As soon as we get one will post on facebook the hh uk flight team page.

I was just about to say its carbon frame not plastic so won't cost anything to upgrade!!!
It's a little expensive though IMHO.

Yeah, the price seems to steep to me. I'd rather go for the Align one.

[dani_r]

Align 500 all the way. The 500X looks interesting, but the price is way off the mark IMO.

[Jamin_00]

$1250 reg price, even reduced to $900 they are having a laugh.

Eflight have always been cheap entry level heli's, I bet they ain't changed that much surely lol?

Next thing Esky will ramp their prices up!!!

I am sure the Blade will be very good but IMHO the Rex 500 pro absolutely rocks.
