was thinkin bout gettin one of these but its a toss up between this and the sjm 180. the deciding factor is this, how durable is the head on this thing?? looks like its got some plastic parts hangin out far enough that they could get some leverage onto em in a crash. other than that for $100 receiver ready i cant see anything to complain about.

I also noticed that they only come with plastic frames, where would you get the fiberglass frame upgrade?

I'm pretty sure i saw some upgraded frame parts somewhere

Just got mine, and found servos to big for the holes. Few other issues but looking forward to putting it together....:lol:

Try www.elemodel.com (http://www.elemodel.com) for fiberglass frames.

I have a FireFox 200 coming from HobbyKing. It ships with servos. Are these servos useable or are they junk? I hear the hxt500/sg5 will not fit without enlarging the existing openings.

Also, I understand the only differences between the FF100 and FF200 are the length of the blades and the boom length. Is this true? Motors aside.
THanks.

The servos are okay...however, i wouldnt trust them. ive got 5g servos on mine. Getting the red carbon look frame shortly and will rebuild mine..

Fire Fox EP200 Micro Helicopter - If it sounds too good of a deal to be true, then it likely is not what you expected.

Cheers:
None!

Jeers:
1. It is only 50% complete as shipped, not 95%.
2. Servo holes must be enlarged to fit servos.
3. Tail is difficult to set up for proper travel.
4. Gyro does not set up easily.
5. Only parts pics are provided and no EP200 manual could be found at ELE or elsewhere.
6. Very difficult to control in flight.
7. Frame broke at tail support, which is poor design, after crash.
8. Parts are very difficult to find anywhere.

What size wrench did you use to tighten the flybar screws at the top of the head assembly? They are smaller than the .05" hex wrench.
