How much can you spend on one?
hea i love helicopters but i never had one i done noe hot they fly but can u make me one? please and ship it? please!!
It will barley work. But eventually you will have to upgrade the parts. And I don’t even know if the transmitter can be set up to work with the 450.
hey i have a belt cp v2 and i crashed it i crshed it on half throttle and broke the head tail boom blades flybar and main gear should i buy an exi 450 and just install the electronics
Never had a CopterX but looks like it’s decent quality.
very true I’m only 15 and my TREXs costed me alot of work but the KDS looks very nice I might get one for a back up. Also what do you think of copterx?
I don’t fly or recommend the EXI anymore. I sell the KDS and another similar quality 450 clone helicopter frames……both are better then EXI, yet cheaper than Trex =)
Mikey not trying to make this sound bad but y dont you get a trex 450 heli I have two the trex 450 se v2 and trex 450 pro combo they fly unblelievable compared to EXI 450 SE V2
$280. It was a while ago when I started this video series so some of the parts have changed.
so is the total cost 220 or 286? because your other video say 286
Motor wires disconnected? When was the last time it stopped working? Did you crash and then is stopped working? More info please =)
mikey can you help me with a Lama V4? im having a problem that the heli wont move the blade but all the other elektronik move eccept for the throtle that doesn’t move. everything is still new but used one~! help me~!!!!
Glad I could help.
Your videos are the only place that I have been able to find the servo assignments and simple transmitter setups for this combo. Thanks for your work on them. Hope it brings you business!
