Question X2 spares?

Hi, I think I'm going to pick up an X2. What are some must-have crash/wear spare parts? Also I'll probly go with a Futaba 6J--should be fine, right? (I want a basic radio 'til I get an 18MZ; lol) Also feel free to suggest anything else, like I hear there's limited blade choice? Are the stock ones no good? Tnks.

You will need the usual,
shafts, spindles and some flybars ,skids.

I am on a budget so I bought 205mm blades; flies good but not the same as the 255.

I have heaps of spares for the heli and she is flying well

I just picked 1 up and love it, Futaba and BeastX,
As last post the usual parts, also the boom supports are very fragile, so I ordered some from cnc heli, (check another post) and found the LG to be brittle in cold.
I ordered the align 250 LG for mine.(need to be re drilled to fit)
Read some of the other posts as well, very helpful, Enjoy!

Hello,
I bought the $4 cheapies fibreglass from Ebay and hobbyking a few months ago.

I don't use idle up much so they are fine for general flying.

you just need some washers as shims as the 205 blades are a little thin in the root
