Awesome!!!

The difference between the Blue & Red locktite, Blue is possible to take apart again, it's more than strong enough for a Heli build. Red is ment for permanent fixture. You need a lot of heat (from a torch) and a LOT of force to even trying to get it apart again. Not so optimal for Heli builds, since it get REALLY hard to do service and manintaince/repairs on that. Both is just for metaal to metal connection, so don't put it onto a screw that goes into plastic, it will dissolve the plastic.

Man you guys are getting down I would like to come fly with you bros, I'm in the A as well.

Come on out!! Nicks got your info. Let’s fly next weekend!

Love that motor !!

this reminds me soo much of the FUSION 50

Heli Direct, that heli from XL Power looks excellent. It has a very nice looking low parts count design. I know that our Allies in Germany are still our allies. However, we know that there are political movements from the right wing. 550 size helis are very popular. Before then, 500 size was popular, maybe the sieze still is, but with the same power, 550 has lower disc leading. That machine however has 560mm blades. I dont think this was their intent, but for that particular machine with red accents, should probably be called a 560 on the box, and should be labled 560 on the tail. Avoid insalling the Kontronik sticker. Yes, I am paranoid, but that is for a reason. Best not to confuse people. Speed control, KK, Motors, KK, Sticker, Kk. Then of you view the number 5 as an S, you will perceive the problem. Nice machine.

Great build and flying! still in not decided if I should get the nimbus 550 or raw 580.

What’s your pros and cons?

@@HelidirectRC that's my problem I don't really have any real pro's and cons. A pro for me for the kraken would be the blade size and being able to run upto 600mm stock. The biggest pro for the nimbus is the weight imo. The nimbus is a little cheaper but after blades ans electronics there not much difference either way. I still have a ancient trex 550e 3g. It's around 10yo but still flying great. like a school bus tho lol. But just looking for something fresh

Nice video. Whats the best tail blade size for Nimbus 550?

Nice Video! What is the "green?" Is that some type of bearing grease?

Green loctite. It’s for outside of bearings

The bearing lube is called “BOTO LUBE” for all thrust bearings

Looking at the build got me thinking: if one opts-in for aditional main bottom bearing block, the entire auto-gear,OWB,main gear & shaft assembly becomes impossible to put together...wery well thought out XLP :P
