eXo500 w/ (excellent*) Blades = $614.00(US)

And the Carbon is even higher! Seems to me this is priced more than fairly.

I am curious to hear more about the RAGE motor and/or others' experiences with 1100kv motors (I'd strip my X4II) - and the stock 4020 shaft - but the Compass fan in me is very excited overall!!

(*after Rail, R/T is the bomb!)

I do prefer using a Scorpion motor as I have had good experience with them. The Compass motors on my Atoms are excellent though.

In europe the price difference to g500sport is much higher.. :

G500 sport with 2 sets of blades : 580 €
G500 sport combo 840€

Exo with blades : 710€
Exo with motor : 800€


kit price difference 130€ (150$) where as in us 5$

Thanks Scott, but i'm afraid that doesn't help

MMTEC is the company ( Compass's main shareholder ) i think...

I cannot see the kits price because of login... When i try to register, it requires dealership... Therefore, this website only serves to dealers afaik...

And i cannot enter my address because i live in Turkey and my country is not in the countries list..


Dealers like FLP, Midland, erc... is more preferable for me.

Thanks anyway

[rasheem]

Thank you

I clicked to this link, then European customer shop from the left "information" menu.. It forwards me to the

RC-AVENUE.COM

But they are not send products to Turkey.

I should wait more dealers from Compass (fastlad and midland rocks by the way ).

It takes 4-5 days from GB to here... (kits, spare parts etc.)
It takes at least 2 weeks from USA,Canada... 2-3 weeks from Far East...


Another thing,

when i login to European shops, VAT is excluded (%19-20 discount)... Then i pay its taxes to my country.

when i login to American shops, there is no VAT discount... I pay its taxes to their country... Then it comes here, being holded in customs, then i pay its taxes to my country again. (double tax )


Because of delivery times and these tax issues, i always prefer European shops that sends products to Turkey.

I hope Compass would have more dealers across Europe...

Best regards

Rasheem,

I hope you can get your eXo preorder somewhere, sir. I'm certain it is going to be a great helicopter and a very welcome addition to your fleet!

As far as fastlad goes, i did ask them about the exo 3 months ago and got this reply. But bear in mind that just one comment, so it can come up for sale...

Hi,
No problem, We’ve no plans to do the compass Exo at the moment, compass hasn’t been a good brand for us in the past.

Thanks

Andy

[rasheem]

Interesting... I received a different approach from them.



"""
-- Hello,

I want to ask you something. I have a Compass Warp and i'm really satisfied with it. Compass also has other good rc models like 7HV or Chronos... And now they'll release a new 500 size product, named EXO...

I've seen it first at Rotorlive 2016. It's nice looking, strong heli, totally has potential imho...

Today i've received an email about Exo. And there's a sentence;

"Compass is looking for distributors and shops worldwide. If you want your dealer become a Compass dealer, please let us know."

Do you want to sell Compass models again?

That would be good.
""""

the answer;


Hello,

We may do in the future yes, the new models do look interesting, we stocked their older Models and parts but had issues with them, but these new ones seem to be better made.

Thanks

Andy

What about Weston? I thought they were the UK stockist for Compass helis. I don't see the Exo on their site though and haven't actually ordered from them yet.

I just emailed Weston and here is what they came back with:
Question:
Hi Alan,

I was wondering whether you are planning to stock the new compass Exo 500
heli (pre-order?)?
Answer:
Hi Dimitri, I'm not sure where we are going with Compass as the moment, will
have to get back to you on that. Their sales strategy has changed in recent
times and we are losing sales to their Asian distributor who is not allowed
to sell to customers from Germany but can sell to the UK!

Best regards

Alan

And here is a German dealer btw:

Rasheem thats good to hear if fastlad is considering takin compass up for sale again.

[stark]

I see it on
http://www.rcheli-store.de/RC-Helico...=35549&p=35549

I've bought batteries from them and they are a good seller.

[tsoebirk]

There is also http://www.moses-modellbau.de/eXo-500. They have always been good to me with Warp 360 parts!

[Mr.Andersen]

Why is the prices higher in Europe then in the US?
614$ vs 709EUR
No doubt from wher im going to order from as i have to pay custom anyway.

[tsoebirk]

Sebastian explained in a different thread that the difference is mainly due to VAT, which is included in the European prices, while the US list prices don't even include local sales tax.

[B.Ewing]

I drug my butt a bit in the pre order but now I'm officially in red canopy blades only combo

[dunkonu23]

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll love your new helicopter!

Scott
