  • Century Evo180SE

    I must admit the Evo180SE is now fully working, after replacing new servos and Swashplate.
    Totally worn out after a few months, (they don't last very long) but this Fix-pitch Heli fly's great.
    I gave this Heli a bad report and ready to put my foot on it, but glad I did'nt.
    The only thing I don't like is the Tail Blades They Break in long grass, Oooop's

    I had one of those and originally thought it was a bag of sh1t, but being analytical about it cheap items broke to protect more expensive ones. It did fly quite nicely when you got used to it.
    One thing to look out for is the canopy pegs and the anti rotation bracket - unless you are prepared to do a few 'home done repairs' you end up having to replace the main frame - not expensive but fiddley.

        I agree with what you say but it's probably because it's a rebadged Walkera that really do not have a good reputation. I had quite a few happy hours with mine before I sold it.

          Many if not most times that a distributor has product made for them by other manufacturers, they will have some of the less desirable components replaced with better ones. In small RTF electrics, many times this is inside the electronic components, so they may look the same from the outside, but be much improved on the inside.

          Consequently there may be some very important differences, that would make a rebranded item perform better and/or be more reliable.
