X50 Question

[Reever45]

Thinking of getting back into a nitro heli, and wanted some opinions on wether you guys would buy the kit with the RL-53H and muffler or just order the kit and get a OS 55 and muffler seperate? Over the years had good experience with OS engines never had a TT but if most think its ok i would go with it. Doesn't need to be a power house atm, since just getting back into heli's will mainly be hovering,FF, maybe some rolls and loops once i get goin again.

Thx

I bought the SE kit with motor n pipe (RL53 black pipe) its an ok motor. has good power but is a bit finiky on fuel and tuning.
I purchased the X50B kit only when they first released into public and got a separate motor n pipe, (YS56sr outrage pipe) love this setup. X50 is super light in the air and has quick cyclic response. The ys56 is a power house!! This is my first YS motor and im very pleased!! This engine runs very smooth both at idle and at high throttle. Tuning a 3 needle carb is new to me but so fars its been an easy transition. Im glad i bought separate motor /pipe for the kit.
Over all im very happy with TT's X50B heli. The YS56sr just plain rocks!! But thats just my .02c

As mentioned the 53 has plenty of power. I don't believe the 53 tuning charactericits are finiky but they are different to an OS. Which of couse makes scene as Thinder Tiger make them not OS.
The 53 will suit your needs and is a heck of a lot cheaper in the combo.
The newer X50T combos will come out with the new RL56
