Default Anyone Know how the new HELI-MAX AXE 400 3ds RTF is doing

I've been thinkign about purchasing one, I checked my friends Blade 400 out, but I just don't care for the servos it comes with. From what I can tell from the videos on youtube, is that it's pretty well balanced, and the gyro and servo's are pretty descent.


I just need ya'lls input so help me out, I got $600 for my B-day, so finally I get to buy me a new electric heli, lol now it's just seeing what's best. Help me out

Keep saving for a nicer and bigger heli. I think after you really get into it, you will want something bigger and better. Just my opinion!

The 400 does look good though.

Well yeah i'd like to get a larger heli later, but my possibilities are high for getting into the Air Force or Naval Academy, as I have just received my nominations........so I don't want to go all out just yet.

exeter,

The Axe 400 machine is definitely a step up from the Axe CP helis. Aside from having a similarly shaped frame, the name is just about the only thing the Axe 400 has in common with the Axe CP birds that I'm assuming that you have experience with.

Keep an eye on Crackroll.com, I'm doing a review of the Axe 3D RTF as we speak! Just at first glance its a very nice looking set up, but I don't want to give it all away before the review goes up!

Dude, I've got a 450SE tucked away in a carrying case. I'll make you a killer deal on it.
