Default SuperBlades FTL

had my second set of superblades fail on me today! was hovering about 10-15ft off the ground when all of a sudden i see this white thing go flying across the yard and the bee plunges to the ground... Stupid blade seperated from the root , thankfully nothing on the bee broke or i would have been even more angry!!!! Sent them an email with a picture of where it seperated, hopefully they will do something about it as I am not about to order another set from them...along with a set fo superskids that snapped in half on a hard landing.




anyone know of any other good blades out there that i can put on my bee?

I like the Xtreme Production "fiber reinforced blades". They took different minor crashes and I'm still using them with no issues. Other popular blades are the Kyosho M24 blades, people seems to like these very much

Actually, I've had a big problem with the Xtreme 8° wooden blades, as one had a 10° pitch, and the other 8°

As much fun as I like to inflict on Xtreme I love there XPCF and Xswash , plus I sometimes forget to mention there woodies have treated me VERY WELL.
Sorry you got a mixed batch but that just proves my theory of X.C.Q.C (Xtreme Crap Quality Control)

Im surprised you didnt grab a 450 SKY. The blades and parts are dirt cheap. Xheli for example has FRBs in 225mm and 235mm for $3 a set and they are awesome for scale flight and sport.
If you can get past the $$ factor however they say the 500 is sooooo smooth and stable. Your going to love it, congrats!

i know, im not expecting to hear anything back from them, pretty sad that customer service can be so crappy from a company like that..... I had a set of the OG XPs and i loved them, also sucks that they would resort to making them cheaper/crappier and then have them do something like this (which is incredibly unsafe, i cant imagine what it would have done if it was closer to me and hit me).

Checked out superskids lately? The new blades are in and, according to SK, they are thier strongest blades yet. You can even remove the logo from the blades and fly them bare, as its now a sticker. So who's gonna be the 1st to try?.............Kato

Way ahead of you, don’t know if I should have, but I have three set coming. Will see, but I’m hoping these will be the super blades I’m used to.
