X8 Components

Good morning to all those x8ers out there.  I've had my X8 for a few months now and it is unfortunately still in the box.  I still need to order the motor, prop, and possibly batteries for it.  What are thosse out there who have it flying using for there motor/prop/battery setup?  Is everyone using 4S batteries or is there anyone using 3S batteries? (I have a lot of 3S sitting around from other airframes.) 

Also, how many of you have reinforced the X8 wing?  What type of reinforcement did you use?  Carbon fiber rods?  Carbon fiber cloth?

If you have any links to any suggestions that would be great.

Thanks and happy flying

  • There are actually a lot of people using 3S batteries. Check the forum. By using 3S batteries, larger propellers are recommended. Mine is 13 x 8 folding propeller.

    Read through the forum and you'll gain lots of information.
