Default X7 WHO is actually carrying kits and parts and stock steady??

This is odd to me, they have a HUGE presence at Ircha, some reported spectacular flights and products. BUT yet it seems there are barely any places to buy kits and parts.

If I am blind here, then please post me the best place in North America that actually has the X7s in stock along with the most on hand parts supply. I see a few places that have kits, and only a few of them, but very very few actually have stock of parts...?

Helidirect. I bought about $120 bucks worth of replacement parts from them when I purchased my kit. They seem to have a lot of their parts in stock.

Default x7

So they must be having a shortage on these kits that's probably why they have finally been selling off of the classifieds. Until last weekend I have not even had a bite on my bnf X7 for 1650. One day after I agreed to trade it for a TDR airframe I finally got a couple responses. This was a nice helicopter ran well did everything well. For those of us who like our set up neat in the air it was a pain in the butt to change batteries on compared to both the whiplash and the E7 and I also had issues with the tale hub loosening. Other than that it is a great heliit's just if you want a big, stable machine, the whiplash is the one. If you want a light, nimble 700 the E7 is the way. The X7 is the smallest 700 I've seen But somewhat heavy for its size. Only a few ounces lighter than my whip lash but a pound heavier than the E7. Can't wait for this afternoon to try out my new TDR. Good luck to those of you in need of parts for this machine I'm surprised there are any shortages it's been out for eight months at least now.

Changing batteries on the X7 is so much easier and faster than on the Whiplash.

I had both on the very original release date and DX seven takes twice as long as the whip lash on the whip lash I don't even have to remove the canopy. If you're smart with the whip lash you leave the Velcro straps attached but loose so they just support the batteries they slide right in like butter.

Changing batteries on the X7 presents a challenge???

I must have missed that memo...

Same here, I think it's pretty darn easy and quick.

I found using the battery trays a touch annoying, but that was solved by just not using them

I never used the trays, I just velcro them in.
