Default RE: Blade mCX2 question

I would love to get an mCPX and a DX6i, however I'm trying to save money at the moment. Because of this, I bought the v911 fixed pitch micro heli made by WL toys. This is a clone of Align's Trex 100 that retails for less than half the price.

So far I've flew it four times. I can say that single rotor fixed pitch heli's are a completely different animal compared to co-axial heli's. I was blown away by the head speed. This thing is wicked fast compared to the mCX2, especially in regards to FF.

The v911 is a heck of a deal for the price. It comes with a decent stock transmitter that features an LCD display, two LI-PO batteries, extra main and rotor blades, and a two-port LI-PO charger. All for $50 USD. I can easily find parts online as well.

The only drawback I can see is that the motors are soldered to the main board, which would make replacing them a bit more tedious than a brand name heli. Here's to hoping the motors last a long time. I'm having a lot of fun with this bird, but I have to take it outdoors to really go nuts with it. <br type="_moz"/>
