Maniac Blades

[Tim Procter]

Mine came today but horrible weather prevents any flying at the moment.

Anyone tried these on the 500 yet.

[Disc]

Man i want some!

[Tim Procter]

£43.99 from Midland Helis..

Had them on my 600e for quite some time and love the rasp they make when working hard..

44 pounds for blades that size.....

someone is taking the ****

[raptorheli2]

i use maniacs but at 45 quid i won't be using them, rip off.

cheers

[Disc]

Basic blades cost to much as well

But yea thats WAY to much

[moyesboy]

The blade price is one of the downsides to a new size of heli.
Rip off?

325 (trex450) blades are 30 quid.
600 mm (raptor 50,trex600) blades are 49 quid for maniacs

so not that much of a rip off.

Problem is the 550 length blade for 30 size helis is probably less, but hey sell loads of them and that makes the difference.

Trey the captain crash ones - he does a 425 for £23.95
I liked his 600mm 3D blades, for the 5 mins before I crashed!

[raptorheli2]

these blades are same price as the 550 blades, that is a rip off, they should be 35ish. i was 100% getting a set...till i clocked the price.

cheers

Okay so T-rex 450 Blades are rip off prices as well. don't have one so had no idea.

T-rex 500 blades Rip off prices

In todays world I am willing to bet the number of 450 machines those blades should be a dam site cheaper.

T-rex 500 maybe just out a few months but still no reason to take the **** like that !

On Both accounts someone is taking the **** in my book

Cannot wait to see if Radix take the **** as they should be another 10 pounds on top of the dam Maniacs! Imagine that 55 pound blades for a T-rex 500....

I used to run the GLX 325 on my 450, 14.50 from the captain.
Then I splashed £30 on some radix in about march last year.
he heli has crashed quite a few times, its like trigs broom - but I'm still on the same radix blades (previously the GLX never survived a crash).
so the radix in the 450 size were a good investment!
Its not the same with bigger helis though!

To some degree there is a similar work involved in making blades no matter how big they are. It would be interesting to know how much of the price is in the materials.

As with most things not much I'll bet..

[moyesboy]

I meant to add - yes its all a rip off - I just reallised how bad it is!
I'm therefore selling up all my kit and its goodbye forever folks!
