I wish they wouldn't write such a load of hype and nonsense. It may well be a good starter for going into 3D with a mems gyro, but servos with nylon gears and no proper bearings aren't going to last long. Why fit nylon gears? Can't they do something better like cardboard or chocolate. At least you could eat the chocolate. Only one of the gears needs to be a decent plastic. Still at £200 it will get lots of people into the shops for spares.

Yeh I know what your saying, we get people all the time asking for 3D helicopters, not knowing why or what they do.

But For the money and a spektrum RX you cant go wrong and you have HH for back up which as we all know is possibly the best after market service out there

Hopefully you point them at an mcx or an msr first, but expect it gets like the video " It does 100 mph". Nylon gears are probably the least of their problems.

Only DSM not DSM2??

so we be needing a new sub thread now for the 450 as its not a 400?

i can remember my first heli the blade 400 and what a handfull that was out of the box ,but once i learnt how to dull her down a bit she was quite good ,but the servo were pants ,only had to look at the ground and it would strip the gears and not one but all three
