I have a CopterX looks like a 450 SE V2. got it in a trade. It has been awhile since I have flown . Shuttle 30 and a GPH346 nitros. I know old. I have question about the CopterX . Would I be better off selling it and buying a newer heli or just fly it? looks like parts are hard to find for it.Thanks.

If it were me and the heli was in flying condition, I would fly it. Once you crash it (or wear it out), then you can decide whether or not to upgrade depending on part availability.

If money isn't an issue and you really want a new heli, I would buy one. To me, buying and building is just part of the fun of the hobby!

Surely 450 se v2 parts can be had for clones from HK? I bought 3 kits so far, 1 used as spares. Others spares like bearings bought in various separate orders as and when. Dirt cheap too. I use my cheap heli to save me rapair costs

The Align 450se parts may fit and should be easier to find.
