- Building the 500X Dominator.
Now that the top version is comming out, I got the combo at 29% discount.
I would claim that for the majority of pilots, there is no difference between the three versions. The metal servo horns would be nice, but those can be added later.

Stay tuned for part 2 - Electronics, and feel free to add a comment.
Video tutorial on how to assemble a helicopter with how to assemble it
Hi! Do i have to disassemble the main gear or it is ready to go from the pack?
Thanks for the part one, awaiting part two. By the way did you checked main gear belt drive case shaft? Guys had some issues with it. Align released a video for checking/fixing the item.
Cheers
Reza Nashta Thanks for the heads up. I did not find the official video, but I found one with FinlessBob explaning it. czcams.com/video/8U8Y4nBhJII/video.html I'll add a link here when I find the official Align video.
Nice to hear you liked the video :) Reciever and Microbeast is wired now, so hopefully not too long until part two.
Thanks. I'll have a go at checking the one-way bearing, befor I maiden it.
Here it's for 729.99 dollars

Banggood is a well known online store, so...

Thomas Bohlen I just started shopping on bangood a few weeks ago. Ordered my new Devil 420 Fasst super combo (Goblin 420 clone) and love it. I did however get my 500x combo for 1400 nok ~180usd less than the link you added on a local sale. The rce-bl80x was faulty and the store replaced it with a rce-bl80a (Hobbywing Platinum Pro 80 v4). If I had the metal servo casings, it would be a 500x Top combo. Don't think I would ever notice any difference with the metal servo casings, so I'm not going to upgrade :)
Hi...did you get every part, I’m missing set screw to the motor
did you have trouble with the tail servo horn hitting the bottom of the tail case?
Hi Brad. My servo horn just clears the tail case. I use the short 'star' servo horn that you get with futaba servos. Just cut away the three horns you are not using :) web4.hobbylinc.com/gr/fut/futfsh6f.jpg
Magnus William Eriksen yeah...
took a second look, was a typo in the manual, I got the xt, manual said to use 3rd hole from centre, should be 2nd hole.
Can anyone give me more instructions on how to tension the belt. Seems the two screws that put tension on the belt will be very loose when the tension is good. Do I just put lock tight on these? Thanks for anyone's help
WRS79 When tentioning the belt, you should start by pulling on the tail when it's not screwed down to tight to the frame, then tightening the screws. Do this when the belt-tentioning screws are removed. The tentioning screws are mostly there to ceep tention as the belt streches over time. I used a little blue locktite, (after loosing both the originals in flight) :)
