  • Blade 700x - think I might actually get one!

    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 ...

      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 ?

          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?

            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!

                              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!!!
