Coaxial micro helicopters have been fun for everyone that has ever had a chance to fly one. They have introduced people of every age and ability to the RC hobby. Now Blade is showing us the latest new and updated mCX2. It has the same features as the original mCX but this one has more of everything. More power, more speed, bigger battery and a cool new body. Beyond these differences there are even additional improvements. We are going to talk about the changes in our video review, but I think you will agree the improvements make it fly better in every respect. However, it is still the easiest-to-fly helicopter there is—anyone can fly it. You will find that even young children will have it buzzing around the living room with no trouble! When you do crash into the TV, nothing will be damaged, but even so, all the parts are available for quick repairs. The mCX2 will have you looking for all kinds of new maneuvers to conquer with this latest micro Blade helicopter.

Take a look at our video of the mCX2 and see if you agree that this helicopter will have everyone in your living room laughing and wanting their own turn on the sticks!

[josefranciscocool]

does the rtf version can bind to a 6-Channel CCPM Pro Transmitter FM 72MHz: BCPP or do i need a bnf version???

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@josefranciscocool You can only bind Spektrum DSM2-equipped transmitters to Blade Helicopters so your transmitter would not work.

[josefranciscocool]

@HorizonRCdotCom but i dont get it, the transmitter i mention is from the same company (blade) XD anyways thanks for answering

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@josefranciscocool True, but that older transmitter operates on a different frequency band all-together than what the current generation of Blade helis operate on.

[myslash09]

5:39 wow the trannsmitter is set for plane not heli. lol XD

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@myslash09 Correct. Since there's no CCPM there's no reason for using heli mode. This is the same with the mCX2, mCX, Tandem, CX2, CX3 and others.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@SvenOkonomi Sorry, not the same helicopter, no support, no warranty and no parts. Blade brings it all.

[MarioIArguello]

More power and much better performance is definitely the way to go on the mCX2. Great for many scale body application while allowing ease of control to the first time pilot. Highly recommend it if you are looking to get into RC helicopters and want something small and easy to control. Check out some of my scale body videos with the Blade mCX -mSR helis.

[josefranciscocool]

im thinking in buying this heli, i have a syma s107g and i want to move forward to 4ch... i was thinking in a msr or sr 120 but then i started thinking that i have no experience with 4ch so this is the best trainer one out there!

[rcrules14]

is the blade mcx2 worth the extra $30 dollars

[sparky7679]

what battery does it come with in bind n fly?

[basketballderek32]

@horizonrcdotcom look below plz

[basketballderek32]

I was wondering what was a good beginner helicopter? I have a blade scout and the mcx. What I need is a durable helicopter more than anything. My only problem with the mcx us that the parts break so easily. however I love the blade scout. If there is a good helicopter for the level I'm at could you please tell me which one?

i like my wings glow in the dark and the chasis body also
