Speed Cup 2024! We Took FIRST Place!

In today’s video we go to speed cup. There was many great pilots and helicopters to compete against. The weather was terrible! 25 mph 90 degrees cross wind and terrible visibility but we did the best we could and took first place! Trapping almost 50mph more then the competition! Next year will get more MPH and take first place again! Let’s do this!

Now that you explained at the end it makes perfect sense. The yellow Comet was indeed all over the place while the EVO was just locked in a line and sounding awesome. Great machines but the EVO is really amazing.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I’m really curious to see what difference the blades make. I’ll be testing that this weekend! Only issue is getting 713 is next to impossible. I also have a feeling the fixed skid being a secondary flying surface has a lot to do with it as well. The EVO is a beast!

Congrats brother! The coolest concept heli I've seen to date. I would love to have a micro version of it for the shelf, and an S2 size to fly; it looks awesome! What was the top speed? Keep killin it!

@@LichaelMewis I believe a link popped. He lost orientation a few times then right before it crashed you could hear a pop and blades stopped.

[@LichaelMewis]

Would the TDS have performed better?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@LichaelMewis maybe, it was really windy and I was worried about tip over with the TDS. Plus it doesn’t have the power the EVO has so it would have been harder to push though the crazy crosswind.
