RJX Hobby Hurrican 50 - Xtreme 50 > How does it compare to 600N or Xero G

I would like to know what is the final weight of the heli with fuel and canopy. I want to get another 50. I have a xero g, 600n and I want to try the RJX heli.

I love the lightness of the 600n this things fly great so much better then my xero g. Then again the xero g is very smooth not as fast as my 600n.

So all of you that has one where does it compare with the other 50 that are out there.

Thanks

WHAT!! Try this credit card!!!

7 lbs 6 ozs RTF minus fuel. Flies with better accuracy than a 600n. Spend a little more and no need to upgrade blade grips, one way bearings or bearing blocks. And it comes with an awesome looking canopy. There is a couple pics in my gallery, feel free to pm for more detailed pics of specific areas if you want them.

I agree.

Flies much more smooth and accurate than Trex Nitro, and I disagree the Nitro does not need to replace main blade holders at +2100 rpms.

I've got Two Trex Nitro and had to replace (main blade holders, fans, oneway bearing holder, balls every few flights and G-force frame braces) on both machines swashplate shows very noticeable slope. In one year I've had 3 crashes with the Nitros (2 of them mechanical failures because of the balls in tail slider) and 2 out of 3 times I broke chasis which means total rebuilding of the bird.

As for the Xtreme, I've got 27 flights on it and no signs of slope or wear and no upgrades, had some problems with the main gear crown at the beggining but once I solved them so far so good. I can not compare crash cost yet but I guess chassis is much more rigid in the Xtreme.

So in my opinion it deserves consideration for those wanting a new bird.

I am having a hard time believing the mechanical issues you are having with your 600N? I have 23 gallons of fuel on my 600N and I have only gone through dampeners and the swash is starting to get a little play. No problems with balls and links, fans, one ways, etc. Other than those two things this heli has been flawless. And you can run the stock plastic blade grips all day long at 2200rpm with no problems.

Do you clean your heli every time you fly? I have never had the balls get slop in just a few flights on any of the heli's I have owned. (Min Air, TT, Align, and Hirobo) I fly hard 3d so my helis are not babied.

I must say the Extreme looks very interesting! I may have to add one to the fleet!

Would you say this is related to cleaning?

Photo is not mine but from a flying pal that had the same thing happen to him. My Trex's swashplate moves up and down 1+ mm I've been suggested to press it on a Vise.

Regarding oneway lockout .. what more to say just do a search here on RR. Last think I did was buying two LukeRc's upgrades and solved the problem.

But it can be a question of simple bad luck xlflyer, I'm just telling what I have gone through and don't want to discourage anybody.

Apologies if it is understood in a different way.

No problem! I think Align has runs of production some of which are good and some of which that aren’t so good. LOL

It looks like the Extreme has top-notch quality and hopefully will not be plagued with any of the issues that other manufacturers have had.

Sorry guys got a little off track....600N or Xero G comparison!
