Blade 700x - think I might actually get one!

[tomatwalden]

I seriously wasn't considering a 700X as I thought they were overpriced ...

but £779 for the combo (ESC required) BLH5725C | Blade 700X Pro Series Combo
or £499 for the kit : BLH5725C | Blade 700X Pro Series Combo

... is incredibly cheap for a brand new 700-class with HV servos ...

[Jamin_00]

That is more like it with servos

[tomatwalden]

For £779, that includes everything (servos, motor, AR7200BX) bar the ESC - just add LIPOs. Those servos are HV servos too. That really is a very good price. Midland are doing the 600x kit and 550x kit for a song too!

Even the wife has now said I should get one! I'm a bit torn now ... Do I go for this, or spend ( a lot ) more money on a high end model like a goblin or Gaui ?

[cupracing]

I reckon this will be a good model Tom, the price is good now. Haven't looked t spares availability and prices but if they are good it's a no brainier really.

Perhaps you can do us a review?

[tomatwalden]

Yeah, quite a few saw it at Venlo up close and remarked how good a machine it was. It's was just the price that was ridiculous. Now the combo price is just way too tempting!

At that price you could have two for the cost of one x7

[tomatwalden]

Just get on with it.

... and following an even better show price from Midland at 3D champs, I did indeed get on with it ...

700x combo now in my grubby hands ....

Nice one Tom

What was the show price out of curiosity?

I fully expect to be flying like this sometime in the next 10 years ...

I am very tempted by this. I've been practicing auto's with an old 500 ESP and can now do them with ease but I really would like more hang time. Mmmmmmm. TEMPTED!!!
