I don't have a video but I do have Protos/BeastX experience. The manual is a little overwhelming but it will make sense once you get into it. Don't worry about how long you take on each step, mine never timed out on me. The only confusing part for me was the decision for type or rx., the standard setting is for any rx. not listed including a standard Spectrum rx.. The Spectrum setting is for satellite only. When I used the standard rx. setting, I couldn't get to the fail safe setting to come up. Matt

When you use a standard Rx with BeastX, there is no Failsafe mode as your Rx has the failsafe in it. I havn;t converted my Protos yet, but soon!. My Blade 400 now flys awesome with BX. And it really isnt hard to set up. If you read the instructions first before install, I find it is confusing. Install it with instructions, step by stem an when you are finished, it should all be clear what does what and such

Oh and upgrade to V3 if you get V2 one!

just got mine setup, barely got blue on max cyclic but got it on the 6 degrees. no binding with 11.5 and 12 pitch. did a test hover and it was awesome. nice and stable and i flipped it a couple of times. was to dark to do any more, ill have a vid of mine tomorrow. will post some pics of the finished one in the pic section.

It is very easy to set up. New v3 makes v2 look like a 3g system

Taco and others can you post naked pictures of your wiring of the beast looking for ideas for when mine gets here.

Great wiring guys.. Everyone I've talked to says beast was made for Protos, are you guys running v2 ? Should I try v2 then if not happy upgrade to v3? Thanks in advance

skip v2, go v3

seriously, v2 sucks bad compared to v3.

all looks good , i have a protos coming my way , I will probably use a MB , very curious to see how it compares with my Logo 400 ...

1 good trick with the MB is to put a strip of hot glue on all the plugs as they like to get loose , had that happen , and you know what happened next
