This is is a beautiful drive unit. The machining and workmanship is really outstanding. This is a twin belt drive, direct coupled contradrive unit with no clutch nor planetary gear system. Read that as low maintenance like the Adverrun. I think the Adverrun is the benchmark these days for power and simplicity. The X-Drive looks like it takes things a step further. It came with the custom BJ Force outrunner motor, beautiful pre-cut CF spinner, precise lightweight AL backplate and mounting system for the Eternity.

I did a weight check and it looks to be about equivalent to the first gen Adverrun at 655g. However, this may be even more powerful than that beast. If so, I can’t wait to get it flying.

B.J. said his goal was to match YS power and performance. Based on my Adverrun experience I think this is achievable.

It it is meant for a 22x22 front and rear prop combo. That’s a real load!

so now the first round of pics. Enjoy!!

Why try to match YS. Just get a YS,,,,
