it does look exactly the same, i wouldn't be surprised if esky made it for them to sell under a different label.

belt-CP rtf costs from 180~230. I think they may be are trying to kinda rip off people with the new name and new looks. Well who knows if its a new heli.

The only thing I noticed that was different was the clone doesn't come with a charger.

A clone that costs 50% more than the "original"? What's up with that?


And no charger? Not really RTF then is it?

clone has no charger and a smaller 1600mah battery 15C battery. it has a different canopy (trex like) and hh gyro (looks like the esky one as well). So it costs around $100 more, missing a $20 charger, smaller battery (probably another $20 difference) but has a hh gyro which is a $30 upgrade. Over all it seems like an over priced version of the belt cp.

well, druss is right. Belt-CP stock canopy sure is crap. Its worse than HBK2 and that's for sure.

yepp a direct clone for sure. I've inspected the bare frame on my belt Cp for a while, and it has the same exact holes and slots as this new copter.
I like the Belt CP better as far as looks. I like the canopy on it.

One thing I will say for the clone, is it has a throttle hold switch, and it has what looks to be pitch curve adjustment on the transmitter. but it also has plastic blades.

well the stock esky belt cp has a pitch curve adjustment as well. throttle hold is a good function though. I'd like to see expo on these rtf helis as well but doesn't really affect me.

I don't see what makes it worth $299 over the Belt at $169

Exceed RC heli's = Esky heli's from factory
Exceed micro counter rotating heli's = Walkera clones built where?
Venom RC heli's = Walkera heli's from factory
Copter X heli's = Cloned T-rex heli's with some parts made in same factory
Exi heli's = indepdant clone of t-rex 450 and 3dx frames

Here's a real funny one... Exceed Eagle 50 3D = Walkera 22e = Attempted copy of black hawk 3d pro = The original Hummingbird 3d pro but with gear drive LMAO!

I recognize the transmitter from somewhere but I can't remember what compay, they use the same one on Exceed RC predator 400 which is another clone of Walkera 35 i think? or perhaps another walkera model.
