Difference between X2 and 255
Hi,
I'm looking at a new heli and would like to know the difference between the 255 and the X2 as i like the look of both. The only difference I can see is one is flybarred and the other isn't. Thanks Matt |

The fbl head, new higher powered motor, new cf landing gear, Pretty much that's it
Its a great design, I think they updated some of the issues like brittle boom supports |

Thanks for that.
Is it worth the extra over the 255? and I presume if I bought the 255 I could convert to a X2 later on as I get more flight time Matt |

My 2p yes. I too started with a 255 that is now pretty much an X2. My experience is that fbl on this heli brings a massive amount of stability and control to the model - when partnered with the right servos. I'd suggest getting the motor/esc version rather than the combo. Many (including myself) are using a DS95i on the tail. Having gone through the pain, this really is a must in my view. On cyclic I'm using DS92A+ servo's which as far as I'm concerned have transformed this heli. Others look to have had good success with DS09's. I'm using a BeastX on this heli. One of those 'decisions' things but if I was doing it again I'd go for X2,MKS from the off. Hope this helps add to the mix.

Go with the X2 from the start, otherwise you will just spend more on upgrading all the parts of the 255. I thought the 255 kits were discontinued anyway?
