Price of x3

[adm19540]

What's the price going to be?

Anyone know if this will be offered as a kit and a combo?

see bottom of this thread: https://www.helifreak.com/showthread...=531405&page=2

[adm19540]

Nothing about a combo though

[gothicbunny]

They haven't officially released any information. I would expect more information in the next few days from IRCHA

[fusionsx00]

tommorow!!

Once again for those who missed it, the Gaui X3 is $199 USD with plastic tail grips, or $209 with CNC tail grips.
Price lists are already out

[gothicbunny]

Actually nothing has been officially released. Many of us are also wondering what price point the real X3 will come in at and when.

[col]

Yes it has, thats why you can also preorder, at those prices. Thats pretty released when your looking at an official price list dont you think?

[gothicbunny]

Some dealers leaked the price, but Gaui has not yet released information and the US distributor has not released it. The prices that have come out are for the plastic version that is nothing like the blinged out X3 they have been promoting.

If it wasn't for flying-hobby, customers would not even be aware of what they were getting. We've been told by other unofficial sources that aluminum upgrades are coming. But no indication of when or how much. Also no idea of part prices either.

If you want to go ahead and preorder with such limited information be my guest. At this point and time the only information is unofficial and has been lacking from Gaui.

For me, what I've seen so far is not the helicopter I've been waiting for.

Agreed here, suprised the amount of plastic parts, even bearing blocks and tail case and swash, reminds me of the old Align 450xl's.

Thats a lot of bits to buy and upgrade in metal now, no doubt will double the cost of the helicopter. Thought Align was the king of upgrades lol

[gothicbunny]

Don't forget you will have to upgrade the CF frames for the aluminum battery rails since they can't be mounted on this version.

You don't know that for sure, Don.

Let's deal in facts here.

I do not that for sure. Can easily tell from published pictures. The red aluminum rails feed through the frame. The plastic version has no slot for them to feed through. Let's deal in not covering up facts here

[gothicbunny]

Here is the red version

You can see the rails feed through the CF frames

Here is the plastic version

There is no slot.

[Jeff_Barrett]

Not covering anything up ... I'm just saying we don't have all the information at this time, at least not from the proper sources / channels that really matter.

How do you know that those rails feed through? Maybe they sandwich the CF frame with the outer red metal bits ... ?

Let's just hold the negativity and comments until we see the final production version and see the officially announced program for the Gaui X3.

[Crasy666]

yes let's wait for the official release,

btw, look at the video from IRACHA, at min 2:46, you can see that this X3 hat a CNC metal tail gear box, you see the blank aluminium.



I am still hoping that there will be a "premium" version, if not I am fully disappointed, Gaui can not show the X3 on the shows with metal parts and than ship plastic!

EDIT, sorry for two videos in the post, I have only one link in the editor!!!
