Thread locker!!!!!! check everything!!!!!!!!! I'v (almost) had this exact problem at least twice on different heli's, you should tell people this is why with any new or old heli check everything!!! give at least a few good tips with your videos!!!!!!! newbees tip> spend at least an hour or two checking everything.. find good build videos and watch a few of them also research your heli for known bugs/upgrades etc.on forums too!
@RCvehicleGuy I know your directing that comment to earthling but im considering once i get my E-Razor 450, ill buy a T-Rex Gyro, better ESC, T-Rex Servos and maybe if it breaks buy a carbon Boom. The problem is, im not too sure which servo, gyro, etc. is best and right for this helicopter im getting. You think you can help me out with the electronics?
@erikatvdriver Hitec HS-65mgs are very nice servos. They are not the cheapest but they will actually work.
Futaba gyros are good. Gy-401.
ESCs I do not think you have to be very picky about. As long as it can handle the amps.
I am not very heli-wise, I am mostly a plane guy, but just as it is with planes, things don't work right when you go cheap. Especially with the electronics. If you can afford it you should just get a Trex 450, or even better, a 500. Better still, fly a plane
I have the same heli and i am having te same problems with it, but I got the exi 9g digital metal gear servo. I did not get any rubber grommets with so i can not attach it on my tail ??? so do you know how I can attach iton my tail?
For noobs looking at this.. some info from an experienced pilot...the crash happened because it was not checked for loctite. ALL heli's.. need to be broken down and checked for loctite. RTF does NOT mean its ready to fly. It means its assembled in the box. You never take anything for granted. I would never trust anyone else to my heli's mechanicals and operations. I make absolutely positive every screw, nut bolt has threadlock, and every bearing is greased. If you dont, your throwing money away
after every flight you should check your heli ANY heli these things have lots of moving parts at high rpms and it happens. i've flown almost every 30 size all the way back to the shuttle and I have flown up to and including the xcell gasser (zenoa engine), i've flown moths with no crash and then bam its in the ground.
it happens, check your heli's. New guys will have more of this as they dont know what to look for. its a learning curve
@DistructiveRC in my experience they have way poor quality and nowhere near as good hardware/electronics as other brands I have used. I've also had many ESC's burn up with stock setup/battery on their jets and planes.
@DistructiveRC X Heli Dosent Suck You Do. these are model helis not rolex watches if you dont how to adjust the parameters you will never get anywhere with then go make another salad oh yeah i forgot,are you GAY ?
@randomwebcamer there is no such thing as a blade 500... and I fly very well, check out my other videos. This helicopters gyro was crap(i swapped it out) and I also swapped out the blades, and the tail servo. It flies ok now, but I get constant vibration issues, the blades simply will not stay in track. It has a very flimsy plastic body that is very bendy and doesn't hold well. There are many *much* better choices than this heli!
@randomwebcamer As old as this comment is it still gets me worked up. If you have not got anything nice to say then don't say it. Also, there is no Blade 500, it does not exist. And Xheli does suck because I could afford what they have. :)
So just keep your mouth zipped if your just gonna bash people, it just not nice. Criticism is fine, but saying people suck is just not right. You suck.
nice flying and i thank you for this video, reason being is that i was considering to buy something from x-heli and/or nitroplanes in the future but now im gonna stick to stuff from horizon hobby and other trusted companies. nice video and flying as usual!
Oh, and you should check all of the screws even out of the box, but like you said, for being an RTF, a novice would think that is ok to just fly it out of the box...
@avi8torace Hey. I agree. I did check some screws, but not that one... It was stripped, like half the body screws were! And I didn't strip them, half the screws(well, the screw holes that hold the screws) were stripped! I lock tighted the stripped ones in so they would hold good.
i'm just going to give my two cents take it or leave it. NO heli is "ready to fly" every one of them should be taken apart and gone over with thread lock on anyhting screwed into metal.all blads should be balanced and the head should be re settup fo 0 pitch at mid stick as far as the gyro well you kinda get what you pay for 165 bucks shipped for a cp heli, the point is if you want somthing good go buy somthing good. get a trex 250. but good reveiw.
A hard lesson learned since you had to shell out your money to find out if this was a good heli or not, but thanks for sharing as I will not be buying one of these. Try the Trex 450, you will be impressed.

that heli is just like the honey bee king 2 that i got from xheli. the frame where the motor gos on keep on braking after i upgraded to a bl motor. i spent 150 bucks on upgrades for the head and tail and it still flys like crap. it suck when you spend your hard earned money on something that is crap. then to top it off, there tech's are not very helpful, they just wunt to make a sale. they dont know very much about there products other than them getting there money back on there investments.
I bet if you pull the tail apart you will find exactly what you said. "The gear is spinning on the shaft." Suxs they sell such a crap heli that could hurt someone. But good review, you probably just saved people some money. Maybe even a life! lol. Good Job Tab! Now pull your good parts and trash that POS. You should get a trex 450 pro.

Bad one way bearing. You should buy Trex 250 replacement parts for it, one ways, tail booms, blades, etc.
That might help if they fit on the thing.
