Blade 300x upgrades

[Gingerneer]

Hi, I have owned a 300x for a few years, it's mainly standard except canopy and carbon rotors... can anyone advise me on good upgrade spares, I've also seen Micro heli are doing a performance kit, had anyone any experience of this?

Cheers,

James

I have never had a 300x , I have 4 oxy3's which I believe are about the same size , having upgraded many blade helis Over the years I only upgrade the bits on the heli
that are week and keep breaking , I find that so called upgrades quite often don't make the heli fly better , in fact I've had upgrades that make the heli fly worse so I don't change out unless there is a problem , hope this helps Kenny d

The 300X is quite old these days - and EOL'ed by Blade many years ago. They produced a new version - the 300CFX which was significantly different using a carbon-fibre body.

As fas as upgrades go for the original 300X - I believe the Lynx strengthening kit was the only "must have" mod as it provided much stronger rigidity around the main shaft.

Beyond that though - metal gear servos are an option. But if I'm honest, I wouldn't plough much money into it if I were you. You'd be better off looking at something like the Oxy3. Or the newer Blade models (270CFX being the latest "300X replacement").

Links were very helpful, thanks, I take it there's no point in cnc machined head, tail etc... Will consider oxy as well thanks
