stevek32 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 hi all, Thought i would share with you this little gem of a find.... http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/xtreme_productions_carbon_fibre_frame_130x_b130x26-p-23267.html had to order one and see...... and wow what an improvement in build quality, complete with all the screws needed, so didnt even have to strip the original for them. havent put everything together as yet but xtreme have really thought about the common problems from the standard one, 1st you now have a alloy motor mount that can slide inside the frame allowing a perfect gear mesh, 2nd you now have plates over the mainshaft bearings so you no longer need to split the frame to access them 3rd, the front servo board slots in at the bottom and held by 2 screws at the top, even provided are washers to hold servo board away from bevel gear, no more burnt out fets and again no need to split frame, 4th, cyclic are now inside frame giving more protection, 5th, canopy mounting hole is slightly further forward, giving more room inside the canopy for the lipo. will build soon but waiting on a auto rotation maingear 1st, but i thought i would share this with all you 130x owners, well done xtreme for not trying to rip us off with just bling and actually listening to the common probs with the standard frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looks nice mate but I have deceided I am not spending anymore on the 130x so I am going to leave this thread and not come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevek32 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hahaha, gotta love the little beastie... thing is I can fly this little monster far better then I can my 450 or 500, nerves are a wonder thing......NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Damn it! Clicked back on this thread!! Yeah love my little 130x but much prefer flying the bigger ones, need to get my big one sorted but not really worth it till the better weather comes in. I seem to have got over the nerves thing and just try to fly like I don't car if it goes in, seems to help. When I panic, I crash Pics of the air frame when rebuilt please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leongordon234 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hmmm it looks great but i will be putting my cash into my 450 for the time being , i could in theory sell my 130x and be able to get another balde 450 3d to use as spares haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevek32 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah will do Danny, and yeah I know what you mean Leon, but I reckon if I can fly this sucker upside down inside out then I won't get the change of undercrackers like I need now with flying the 500 more then 10ft above the ground.

DannyP Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The higher you fly the more time you have to save a dumb thumb I fly high up when trying new things, saved a few incidents that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leongordon234 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The higher you fly the more time you have to save a dumb thumb I fly high up when trying new things, saved a few incidents that way. +1 i always go high when trying flips , rolls , loops etc more time to correct if something goes wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevek32 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Yep know the logic but means further to fall. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I see it as, if it's going in, it's going in. 9 times out of 10 you will probably break the same parts crashing from higher up as you would from 6ft. Just the parts bend more TH is king! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
