Those are Esky parts. I have the same and it is alright for the money. Wish I had spent the extra and gotten the EXI head and swash. If you order this kit also get a few "special" spindle shafts as they are different from the stock ones.

Yep, those are the Esky CNC parts and that's a fair price for the complete head and tail set.

I've got the entire setup on one of my Belts and it is a big improvement over the stock parts.

It comes in pieces just like it looks in the ad, and it takes some careful assembly and setup.

If you like to work on your heli, and want a better understanding of how it works, this is a great way to go.

For $30-$40 more, you can get an EXI which is made by Esky and is an exact copy ot the Align Trex SE V2. All your Esky electronics will work and it has a better head and tail setup than the Belt. It does require careful setup however.

The Esky CNC head and tail would be a stepup from stock and will make the Belt a little more stable in hover, and a little more responsive all the way around.

The Exi would be a greater step up from the stock Belt and flies even better.

Several of us here have Exis and I haven't heard any one say they've been disappointed.

Either way, we'll be happy to help out with any problems you run into.

Here's a link to a site where several of us have bought Exis -

That is a good price for Esky cnc head and tail, would be over twice as much over here, however you would be better paying a bit more for a Trex style head and tail.

There are quite a few that cost far less than the Align originals and work just as well.

Also the Exi kit seems pretty unbeatable for the price.

I'd say go with something else as the deal extreme kit looks like you still need those weak plastic control rods that go round the blade grips :thumbdown:
Anyone know an upgrade for these on the CNC head/grips?

[Ian 777]

Really would get a CopterX head or similar Trex copy, You can get the entire head for as little as £38. They fly so much better.

Sports moto were offering a different cnc head for the King 2 but that looked like it still used plastic bifrucated links to the flybar.
