The 500x: The most underrated Blade heli

[d423,150x,300x,500x]

Yes i replaced the bearings in one from a lack of power n a screeching sound. It took alot of heat to get it apart but finally got it done.

Do you remember the size oft the bearings? I did some search but could not find it anywhere

The 500X is also my favorite helicopter! In fact, I think it actually feels nicer to fly than my 600X which is really saying something. I just purchased a new Microbeast Plus Pro v4 flybarless controller for my 500X so it now has auto-level (AttitudeControl). Here's a setup video that I made yesterday showing off my 500X:

Any way, if you guys want servo adapters (who doesn't), I bet I know who could design and make them for us:

Perhaps if we encouraged him with a group buy or something to make the initial labor worth his while???

I have not crashed mine... came close.. had mine ORDERED since day one avl.. now if you do that history you will know it took sadly a year to get this heli out from its first date announced and release. (Sucked enough) it was 899.99 etc...

NOW I did have to send mine back 2 times.. due to some messed up stuff... first was shipping crushed in the side of my first one.

Second and still somewhat of an issue is the tail... vibe... I messed with the tail and gain and everything from the belt and shaft.. to the grips. In the end I think the tail needed a better design and this heli would have been solid out of the chute. BY ALL MEANS THIS was not a good BNF... that phrase should be removed from it and all heli's.

It was all jacked up out of the box.. took some adjusting and it is better now. Today the DX6i I have it bound to acted up and no joke.. a pot went bad mid flight. It was the tail.. sooo out of pure luck I was able to AUTO it down and save it from getting a scratch short of blade grass stains....

I have had it two years plus now and NO crashes and no issues other then tail ones. All in all it is a solid heli.

I HOPE to see Blade do like a 480 CFX and make a large one like that all jacked up and loaded out--- that would be a sweet Heli I would bet.

I would be good for a set of adptors, I really like my 500x also.
