| The X2 is the only change MA has made other than making it a direct drive and unless you know someone who has the parts you can't do that. The X2 is a great flying heli, lots of gear choices by changing the pulleys. You will have to use totally different battery packs though, the old 5S4P 8000 packs won't work. The X2 conversion comes with all new frames, pretty much scrap the old frames.
The battery life will be shortened by not balancing the packs.
I'm not a Neu motor person, so I don't know which Neu motor you would use. I use an Actro 32-3 or a Scorpion 4035HK. The Scorpion is half the price of the Actro and only time will tell if they are as good as the Actro. They come with a 6mm shaft and with all the MA pulleys being 6mm, that works out good. Finding a 6mm Actro isn't the easiest thing to do, they are usually either 5mm or 8mm.
Convert it, you'll like it for sure.
