MyCoolHeli.com Review of the EXI 500 by Xheli

[athor14]

does the kit come with the 2,4 ghz radio? (reciver and transmiter)

[Blueray450]

@athor14 No Electronics

[izanesmithservo]

What motor and reciver and gears are you using? Links?

[rednexRC]

check out my heli at rednexRC

[Blueray450]

I still fly this bird after many crashes. Flies really stable and have the helium 500 motor in it. mycoolheli website has coupons for xheli

[RoboTekno]

dumb question, but where do you get your reflective tape? lol xD

[Blueray450]

@RoboTekno

came with those blades.

Use the Pro3D blades from hobbypartz. Carbon Fiber less than 20 dollars. Look for coupon codes from mycoolheli

[Blueray450]

one by one pull all metal to metal screws and apply blue loctite.

Just like the Align 500, you can replace the 2mmx6mm screws that hold on the tail blade grips to the tail hub. They tend to sheer on a tail blade hit onto a hard surface.

read mycoolheli . com review of it.

[Blueray450]

I still fly this helicopter. I work on my orientations from time to time (inverted, upright, backwards, inverted backwards etc). Kind of like warm ups.

[satinsilverk20a2]

i love helicopters

[o0dekker0o]

is there a torque tube version ?

[burnrider2001]

You said that you have a .30 size heli also. What heli is it? I have a swift 16 that Im gonna make into a scale Apache, thats my 550 and I am buying a trex 600e.

[dhorn92]

I'd rather fly Align.

[eskybeltcpflyer]

its pronounced x hell y btw :)

[Blueray450]

hahaha, yea, I mispronounce heli all the time. But I'm working on it :)

[jminors]

did you have any issues with the nut securing the main gear. There's no hex shaped indent for the nut in the gear, like on the Trex500, and the nut is slightly too big for the hole. Or have I used the wrong nut?

[stratosjoebar]

what battery do you guys use ?

3000mah 6s,

4000mah 6s?

what fits anyway?

[Blueray450]

Same batteries as a trex 500.

I have 3000mAh Turnigy 20C 6S.

I plan to lower the battery tray to allow it to fit better.

[HelplessMammal]

3000mah 6cell Turnigy 20C works well. Running a Turnigy 60A ESC. Real impressed with the G401B "Gyrd" Futuba G401 Clone.

[stealhty1]

i got his bird with :

200 amp mystery ESC

turnigy 1700kw

4000 mhA 22.2volts

AR 6200 receiver

everytime it star it beging SOO hard that cause blades to strike the head, i had burned 2 ESC trying to program"em and still have this issues ,, please help me ,thanks

[Blueray450]

You need an ESC with super soft start. Mystery ESC's are notorios for a hard start. See if you can program it.

I use a volcano 60A esc

[Twister773]

great video and great review. Thanks

[stratosjoebar]

does it has any slop in the head?

[Blueray450]

VERY little slop at all. I was impressed with the little amount of slop in head and tail.

[sdjb111]

Yes very nice review good job

Now to get my EXI 500 i fly there 450

nice little heli I'am into scale so I think the 500 will make a nice base for my next scale heli

Thank for the review

sdjb

[wcwickedclown]

THAT is the best heli Review i ever seen.

nice job.

[KP61RC]

do you mind posting your setup? I am looking to build one to replace my 450

[Blueray450]

Current setup is Volcano 60A ESC, Turnigy Typhoon 500H motor, 11T pinion. HS5245 cyclic servos, Walkera GX02 Gyro, S9257 servo on tail EXI CF blades

[T3beatz]

Nice video! good review...

[stratosjoebar]

does it has any slop in the head?

parts are inter-changable with the trex 500?

[T3beatz]

Mine does not have slop, and all parts are 100% inter changable with teh T-Rex 500
