10 dollar 450 3d carbon fiber rotor blade

rcjames · 11-14-2009, 05:52 PM

Any of you guys running these? I received those blades today and they suck. Mine came with alot of holes on the blades with paint over the holes. They sucks. Any of you guys had any luck on them?http://www.xheli.com/cafibl.html

I hope xheli can send me better one but get you get what you paid for.

I hate to point out the obvious, but what did you expect for $10?

I just wanted to buy it and try it out. I would expect atleast to be better then wood alternative with no holes under the paint.

I baught last month a 17 dollar sonix carbon fiber blades that is 325. And it has no flaw and pretty strong and well made blades. So I wanted to test out the 3d blades. Sonxi blades is 50 time better. LOL

i have the protek 325 3d blade`s from helidirect, and they are perfect. wieght`s perfect, balance is perfect, and absalutelly NO flaw`s at all.

Maybe, atleast they should inform everyone about it. Last month I baught these sonix blades for 17 bucks. http://www.helidirect.com/high-quali...trex-p-576.hdx great blades. Anyways I baught exi 450 aluminum version and theres no flaw on them. No slop nothing. So I don't know. You might be right. My blades came in with scrashes, couple holes underneath the paint.

I wasn't aware of that.

fast400 · 11-14-2009, 09:57 PM

personal dealing`s and from to many people around me whom have purchased from xheli.
all there item`s came scratched, damaged, part`s missing, or just obviously used item`s

battery charger`s in the RTF`s that didnt work, open the case and it`s clearly fried, lipo`s in the RTF`s puffed and or clearly USED

Maybe you are lucky. I bought 2 sets a while back, and I can't get 1 set out of the 4 blades. "you got what you pay for" is exactly right.

I don't know....I bought a couple of the $5 CF main rotors off HobbyCity for my 450 and they're great. They had no noticeable flaws. They were light, they were balanced, and they tracked well. I just crashed (my first crash!!), and am about to order some more.

I'm not a 3D beast, but I do some tic tocs and aggressive flips and the blades feel much better than the woodies. I've never flown expensive CF blades...but until I get better I'm not going to.
