  • Going to buy some upgrades

    I have only had 5 flights on my 130x but after reading a few threads on here and getting some disposable income today i am going to get a few upgrades.
    From what i have read,everyone has said get the aluminium tail slider and silicone o rings to start.I have been looking on midland helis today and there are a few different manufacturers.

    Which is better for the tail slider? Rakon heli or micro heli? They both do tail sliders and micro heli have double bearing etc

    Anything elsei should get?

    I have KBDD Tail blades already and gens ace 450mah lipos

      i would get the tail case or bearings as well, the slop in the stock is gonna cause further trouble over time, i imagine there's a double bearing in the RKH slider but never got that confirmed.

          just fitted a new rakon tail slider and tail case ordered direct from rakon as no stock in this country? took 5 days to arrive (Fedex) well happy got rid of 90% of the tail slop and flew great for two flights until the bevel gear stripped!!!! Going to order a metal upgrade but again no uk stock? looks like a usa import this time.
          Great heli but you need to spend an extra £50+ to get it flying right

              just leaves you feeling like they designed it with weak parts to make money from the upgrades or spare parts you need to buy.
              Also dont understand why there are few uprade parts in the uk when I got them direct from Rakon in 5 days, its the mcpx under carrige situation all over again.

                getting annoyed that i cant find all i need on one site.I need 250 parts as well but nobody ever has everything you want.Also why are fast lad so slow to stock 130x parts? The only upgrades they have are different coloured tail blades????

                        Rakon delivery on Monday. They are on pre order to reserve your items as when they come in stock they dont hang round for long!

                            Yeah already got my order in.
                            I'd say biggest change is from tail slider and bearings. But I've got the bug now and add more stuff as it comes in. Heli is feeling awesome right now
