500X Lower Price Yet

[scolist]

According to HH email, the 500X is now $499.99. Doesn't say if it's discontinued.

Yes, I agree. This is just a test! My problem is I keep coming up with the wrong answer!

I think they are Dumping stock.... and it will be discontinued upon run out.... best to stay away!,,,

I don't believe they will discontinue the 500x but there will be a revamped version, maybe even Pro series kit. The 500 size market is still a pretty good seller. Only problem was the pricing on the 500x. If I can source on here for $500 I might just get one.

If you figure Eflie battery value at $60 to $80, the $499.00 500X is arguably a better value than the $249.00 500 3D.

I also keep coming up with the wrong answer. I buy the good sale and a better sale comes along.

And then there's the 450x at $499. I know which one i'd get

Well, actually $325.00 for the 450X (though not at HH), but point well taken.

[adanick2]

Ah, forgot about that deal

Pacific Coast Hobbies has the http://www.ebay.com/itm/E-flite-Blad...item540235b0cf

I went ahead and ordered one since HH has them backordered and may never get them in stock again since they've apparently been discontinued. You can pickup two (2) of the blue Turnigy 30C 3000mah batteries on Hobbyking for less than $100. So in my opinion the 500 3D is still the best overall deal right now, as long as you don't plan to convert it to FBL (I'll happily just leave mine as FB).



Or you can just buy a 300X for $249. Basically the price of the AR7200BX. Kind of hard to beat.

Why?

[bladeguy5]

Stay away? ??? At 500 bucks it's a heard price to beat... The beast x abs 6s battery make up $350 of that price so $150 fir the built heli servos motor and esc

One in the air and another on the bench just in case is my motto.

One to fly like I stole it, and at that price I think I did, and the other for my 500 scale build I am doing

[hoverfun]

They might even go lower when the new one comes out. Been considering a back up, just watching for another great deal.

Wizzard,
What scale fuselage? The Bell 222, or something else.

I have one of the Align Airwolf fuselage I am using. This has been a long term project (3yrs) due to getting custom paint (auto paint) done on the fuselage and time to work on it of course.

Got the battery charged and everything setup and checked out......if the winds weren't 40+, I'd be flying!
