Exi 450

LDGILLS · Nov 03, 2009, 07:50 PM

Ordered one, should be here on friday. I was looking for parts for the T rex, when I found this for 55 bucks. Wow.

I presume my trex set up will work.
g90 HH

430L 5350 Motor

I also seen I am not the only one to get one, so I feel better now. I should have got the 39 dollar one, but just couldnt.

Now, just need friday to get here. I just pulled the 430 out of my blade cp, (now thats FUN hot roddin my blade), and it sits here waiting for the big brown truck......

I have the RC-Tek Diablo CNC head and tail. I dont really plan on putting them on at first, unless I should. Thoughts?

There is an exi thread for the future.

I have the same motor in mine and like it so far, I haven't had alot of fly time on it yet. No clue on the head bits though.

I got the 39 dollar one. Absolutely the best money I have spent in the hobby.

Which is better EXI450$39.95 with $39.95 alum upgrade package, probably free shipping from XHELI, or Ehirobe,CopterX $59.95 all metal looks like blue CNC, $24.00 shipping. Is the EXI upgrade same metal as the CopterX or the blue CNC better,stronger than the, what looks like alum EXI, Help!

fly the EXI plastic head until you crash it HARD !!. the plastic head is pretty stout, and it flys pretty good

ganast · Nov 04, 2009, 10:53 PM

Thanks Iwas checking spechs on CopterX and it says the head and tail are alum, anodized blue, so same as EXI alum head only they are not anodized blue. I hate spending $24 for shipping from Hong Cong when I can get the same Chinese 450clone at Xheli for free delivery, fly the plastic cause i'm new to 6ch and when i crash hard, replace with the $39.95 alum head and tail, for same price as CopterX. So plastic flies good, and tail will hold up also? I dont plan to fly no 3D. I fly HBFP everyday in my basement and garage for a year now so i'm ready to move on. Looking for a good 450 clone, platform to use Hitec 65 nylon, 40VolcanoESC, GY48v. Planing to get DX6iTx. Any help or deals, thanx.

I am new to the Clone 450 helis and only familiar with the Blade 400. I ordered this Exi that comes the alum head, tail and carbon fiber frame for $77 yesterday. There are coupons for 10% off or free shipping. The free ship was the cheaper route for me to go. Here is the link. Let us know if you need discount codes.

Dollar for dollar, the Copter X can't be beat. They make an EXI version with half-metal head for a little less.

Wow nice choice, well couple days ago on the 3rd , right when i woked up i ordered the EXI Aluminum 450 Barebone Kit Version 2 for 49.70. You got a
good deal on you'rs. I didn't want to spend extra because I already baught a new futaba 8fg radio from towerhobbies which cost me over 400 dollars. So I'm testing this new radio on my new exi. Hope the build of the heli is good enough that it wont strip any threads or break in flight with my powerful scorpion 2221-6 v2. I baught this heli so i can atleast have a heli for this month. I probably get a exi 500 or hobby king 500 gt. Wish me luck guys

.
Oh i wish i knew a 10 dollar discount. I used a 5 dollar discount i found over the net. Well I gotta sleep. Adios amigosn

hi take and grind a flat spot on the tail shaft to lock it down
to the tail blade grips..
you may have to grind the motor mount holes also lube all bearings

LDGILLS · Nov 05, 2009, 11:03 AM

I was reading about that. Thank you. I was going to just put my CNC head and tail on, but I think I will just fly it with the plastics for a while.

tigermoth · Nov 05, 2009, 02:13 PM

I dont see the logic with purchasing the upgrades for another 39.95. Just buy 2 helicopters for the same money and you have a ready supply of spare parts. I have probably 50 flights on my 39 dollar one with absolutely no problems,not even a loose screw. This is one sweet flying and responsive bird.

LDGILLS · Nov 05, 2009, 02:20 PM

I actually have the RC-tek and and tail from the diablo that was on my Trex.
But, I thin kyou are right...I will just fly with the plastic for a while.

Hm, how often is UPS a day early??????????

COME ON BIG BROWN TRUCK!
