just a thought, if you were to upgrade any thing on your heli what parts would you consider. im thinking about upgrading on my two 450,s, both helis seem to be ok flying reasonable well and im happy with there performance, both are align parts trex and gl so I guess all the parts are standard

I see no point in sticking expensive bits on a heli that does all you want it to do already - just for the sake of making the next crash cost more. If they are fb helis then going fbl can save crash costs on the head parts and with the tiny helis help them cope with a breezier day.....PGK

If you are happy with them there is no point upgrading anything. As has been said, more stick time is the best upgrade you could give yourself.Stainburn Helicopter Club

I will buy an upgrade if it solves a problem.. For example my tail fin was vibrating on my 550 so fitted the 2mm one and a boom brace which fixed that.
I try not to buy just for bling but sometimes it's hard to resist!Goblin 500 SportMatt

My 130x flies infinitely worse after all the upgrades and now I never fly it. Shame really as I loved itComment

Weird, mine is infinitely better since I upgraded mine....horses for courses I guess. I have to agree in that most of the time upgrades/bling may not be worth it but why not make your models look better? :-)Originally posted by Jez N View PostComment

The best upgrade I ever did on the 130x was fitting metal drive gears, the plastic stock ones are junk........always stripping!Originally posted by Jez N View PostComment

upgrades
Best upgrade (showing my age albeit only a few years ago) was flybar to flybarless head on an 700n. Never looked back and - test flight aside - never flown flybar again.
Other top upgrade was sx head on my logo 600.Comment
