WOW I compared the microheli alum bladegrips with 4 xtreme blades to 4 stock blades and there is only a 10g diff. the xtreme motors are actully 2g lighter than stock.... I have a spare carbon fiber tube that fits as a tailboom and homemade fins weigh 7g compared to the police body rear only weighs 14g.
sorry going nowhere with this..... just nothing to do
Wolfpackin made a table with an overview of weights and comparison, see: CX2-Parts-Weights. I'll try to add your weights ASAP to get the table complete!
Thanks for the effort Tom!

You’re welcome, glad to help out!
Soloboss was looking for the Xtreme weights so I posted them.
I download the CX2-Parts-Weights PDF. Good job on it. It's nice to have.

It's nice to have all the weights of the parts to compare and to know how heavy your helicopter will be with them. Also the old microheli alum blade grips were about 10 grams each and the new version ones are 3.2 grams each, now that's light!
As Wolfe just 'honoured' me into the 'weight-list-keeper', i've updated/modified the first document with some additions. Where ever there's information missing that you have/know please let us know here, or PM me (i don't always go 'read back' posts) and i'll update the list!

Shufflez, Is there a way to get that table attached to the Heli Setup Guide? It's an excellent table and it needs a home to keep everything in one place. If that's not a good idea, I'm cool with it however you keep it. Soloboss

Another update with the stock motor weight provided by Tom: CX2 parts weights.
Soloboss; I'm putting this info in the database (as you know, the technical part of the CX2 site is ready, but i'm now working on the HDX-part... Kinda short attention span, too many stuff that i like! Will be picking up the slack in the CX2-dept soon though). And thus it'll soon be 'integrated' with your guide and among other (hopefully ) usefull info! So it IS a good idea, it'll only take me a while to encorporate all of your ideas! .

concerning BLADE CX. I was checking out the MH site and it seems the xtreme stuff is way lighter than MH stuff. according to Tom Z(above) and MH site. For example, upper blade grip from xtreme, 4.3g(Tom Z) and MH at 10.2g. And KRs hooby has a good deal on the xtreme stuff..with blades.
i got some xtreme grips with a few sets of extra blades coming and i hope it improves outside flight a bit. i got 'er dialed in finally...going to try the CX hover challenge with new blades. see you guys around. quattro

Tom, You told me that the heli-max plastic grips would work fine on my BCX. Then you said that you liked the Xtreme blade grips better. Im just trying to improve outdoor flight(that's all I do-no indoor,too small). What is the wieght differance between the plastic grips and the aluminum grips? I am worried about rotating mass. I am still using stock batterys and I am going to lighten up my Xtreme boom and skid kit. Did you find that the aluminum grips had less wobble? Did you try the xtreme core from the other website?Sorry for so many questions but I only want to buy one set of blade grips. Can you recomend which blade to use with my stock set up? I am thinking about A 15 C battery. Some people are complaining about puffing. Your choice or batterys?
