The Blade® heli development team has decades of combined RC experience designing or flying everything from ultra micros to high-performance 3D machines. If anyone knows what awesome performance looks and feels like, they do. It’s their expertise that makes the new Blade 450 X the ultimate 450-size heli experience. Not only does it come packed with great features such as the lightest airframe in its class and rigid head design, but it also comes with a new helical main drive system to make the heli quieter and all-new digital metal-gear servos to enhance precision and durability. At the core of its awesome performance is the Spektrum™ AR7200BX Flybarless Control System; a remarkable advance that combines a 7-channel DSMX® receiver with BeastX™ 3-axis MEMS stabilization into a single, lightweight unit. This, combined with a high-output brushless power system, a vibrant new canopy and carbon fiber blades means that you’re in for a spectacular 3D heli experience.

DSMX® SECURITY + BEASTX PRECISION IN ONE UNIT
The precision and responsiveness of BeastX® flybarless technology completely transforms any heli flying experience. The 450 X brings you all the benefits of this technology through the amazing Spektrum™ AR7200BX Flybarless Control System. The AR7200BX combines a 7-channel DSMX receiver with a BeastX 3-axis MEMS stabilization system into a single, compact unit weighing barely over 1/2 an ounce (18 g). Perhaps best of all is how simple the AR7200BX is to use. No special programming interface is needed to make adjustments. All you need to fine tune its response is the DSM2®/DSMX transmitter it’s bound to.

NEW HELICAL MAIN DRIVE
The new main gear and motor pinion feature helical shaped teeth to provide a drive system that’s quieter.

NEW METAL-GEAR SERVOS
The Spektrum digital, metal gear servos for the cyclic and tail rotor control are specially designed to deliver maximum power, high speed and precision for extreme 3D heli performance with an added level of durability.

CARBON FIBER MAIN BLADES
The included high performance 325mm rotor blades minimize weight without giving up any strength so you can aggressively push the limit of your 3D abilities with complete confidence and absolute precision.

RIGID HEAD BLOCK
Stiff 80-durometer dampers, along with the carbon fiber main blades, allow you take full advantage of the exceptionally crisp response BeastX flybarless technology offers. The extremely rigid, CNC machined lightweight aluminum head block provides maximum precision during 3D maneuvers.

COMPOSITE ALUMINUM/FIBER REINFORCED SWASH PLATE
The combination of aluminum with a lightweight fiber-reinforced material keeps swashplate weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength or precision.

TRIPLE BALL BEARING SUPPORTED HARDENED STEEL MAIN SHAFT
Ball bearings support the main shaft at the top and bottom of the drive gears, as well as the top of the frame.

E-flite® 440H 4200Kv BRUSHLESS MOTOR
This proven brushless motor will consistently deliver more than enough power for demanding 3D maneuvers.

E-flite 3S 11.1V 2200mAh 30C Li-Po BATTERY
The high-discharge rate of the included battery pack provides the robust power you need to explore the farthest reaches of aggressive 3D flight.

E-flite 35A S-BEC BRUSHLESS HELI SPEED CONTROL
This robust speed controller is engineered to efficiently channel the high-current flow of most any high-C 3S Li-Po battery.

ALUMINUM TAIL BOOM
The stiff, aluminum tail boom and carbon fiber tail boom supports keep tail performance crisp and precise.

TAIL BLADE GRIP THRUST BEARING SUPPORT
The smooth, efficient belt drive is complemented by the durability and precision of thrust bearings in the tail blade grips.

WEIGHTED TAIL BLADE HARDWARE
Specially weighted blade mounting screws boost the speed and precision of the tail’s response and reduces tail servo load during hard 3D maneuvers.
