never heard of a problem of the SHV CC ESC's, think they were good for 16s? tho they only made like 20 of them lol

Is the XXtreme officially the Mikado 710mm heli?

Does it seem to anyone else that they've kind of got a hole in their line up? Everyone else has dedicated 12s/710mm machines and it seems to me that not many buyers of the XXtreme are going to run it that way, the size and engineering of it would appear to be encouraging 14s/800mm blades otherwise you are just wasting the extra strength and weight.

So where is the 710mm Mikado?

XXtreme is an 800 class machine capable of being flown as a 700 but I don't know if any one has actually flown it as a 700 yet.

Question: "Is the XXtreme officially the Mikado 710mm heli?"

Yes. But what I think happened, is that along the way to making a Logo 700 that could reliable swing 800 class blades as well, and by the time they engineered the machine to handle maximum 3D flight with 800's, the machine was so far away from being a "700class" heli anymore, they had to decide which it was going to be. 700 or 800? They changed the name to "XXtreme", and...

When we first got the heli, Mikado surprised us by wanting the machine proven first as an 800, and anything else would follow later.

After about 200 flights later, we've proven the machine to be a fully functional 3D 800.

Question: "So where is the 710mm Mikado?"

Yea...looks like a hole in their line-up at this point. They've got everything covered (with overlap in some cases), from a 400 all the way to 800 now, with that small little exception of a "710 heli".

If you think Mikado is going to let that stand, you don't know Ralf Buxnowitz very well

I was curious about a "710" Logo also considering that the teaser photo said "700"

[3D Dave]

It would be very cool if that came to be. I have to admit, I was one of the hopefuls (even before last year's IRCHA) that the Logo 700 would be just that.

Guess it's just going to take 18-24 months. If I can't wait, I'll have to get a 600SE to hold me over

Is the XXTREME a 800 class only? or is it a 700 also, a 700 built into the XXtreme?

If not then will they just shrink down the Xxtreme a little bit bigger than the 6 and not as big as the 8 and make a 700?

This sounds promising!!

I really love the overall design, the look's, but Mikado should have dropped the size down to a .90 that would swing 690's. That way Mikado lover's have the 700class chopper that would cost less, and still be able to use the 6s packs we already have....

If I only had the cash lol

but this one will swing the 710 mm blades, can be ran on 12s and use all your own gear, it really only needs to be 14s 800 if you want it to be.

but we really wont know this until the weight of the air frame comes out and if its close to the 700e it will be a hands down winner for sure, But I would immage its the motor, esc, packs, servos that really add up the weight compared to CF and some aluminum blade grips.

There is a 700 size logo already...... You guys forgot about the 600SE.......
