XLPOWER STRATOS 700 — KEY FEATURES
Fully Upgraded Bearing System
- Upgraded One-Way Bearing – Increased one-way bearing size delivers 50% higher torque capacity
- Integrated 19mm One-Way Bearing Sleeve – Designed for maintenance-free operation.
- Zero-Play One-Way Bearing Sleeve – Eliminates rotational play for instant power transfer and direct, delay-free drivetrain response.
- Larger Swashplate Bearing – Upgraded to a 35×47×10mm double-row angular contact bearing for increased stability and precision.
Next-Generation Reinforced Tail Drive System
Featuring larger ball bearings, shafts, and spindles, this next-generation tail drive delivers exceptional strength, ultra-smooth operation, and ultra-sharp precision—even in the most extreme manoeuvres.
- Upgraded Tail Shaft Bearing –NSK 8×19×6mm bearing significantly increases durability
- Tail Shaft Diameter: 8mm
- Tail Spindle Diameter: 6mm
- Upgraded Bearings –All related bearings and thrust bearings upgraded accordingly
- PTFE-Sleeved Tail Pitch Slider Pin – Minimises play, reduces friction and wear, ensuring smoother, more precise tail pitch control and improved long-term durability
Heavy-Duty Belt Drive System
Built for extreme performance, the heavy-duty belt drive system handles maximum loads with exceptional shock resistance, delivering rock-solid power transfer, ultra-sharp response, and outstanding reliability—no matter how intense the flight.
- Main Gear: 125T
- Tail Pulley : 119T
- Tail Drive Gear:24T (25T optional)
- Tail Belt Width: Standard 9mm (optional 10mm heavy-duty version)
Weighted Tail Blade Grips
Improved design for an exceptionally locked-in feel.
- Reduces tail servo load.
- Improves tail control efficiency
- Delivers smoother, more stable tail performance.
All-New Tail Boom Structure and Features
- Custom-Profile Aluminum Tail Boom – Engineered for increased rigidity with a fully internal tail pushrod for cleaner, more precise routing. (Optional: Carbon fibre tail boom)
- One-Piece 3mm Titanium Pushrod – Eliminates pushrod connection-failure risks while delivering precise, direct control.
- External PTFE Guide System – Provides ultra-smooth, low-friction movement for consistent tail response.
- Anti-Rotation Boom Design – Ensures stable and precise tail alignment.
High-Rigidity Carbon Fibre Frame Plates
- 2.5mm Upper Frame – The thick2.5mm carbon fibre upper frame significantly enhances structural rigidity, providing a stronger, more durable, and stable airframe.
- 2mm Lower Frame – The precision-machined2mm carbon fibre lower frame features distinctive painted detailing for enhanced visual appeal and easy identification.
- Precision-Finished Edges –All carbon fibre frame edges are carefully chamfered and finished to eliminate sharp edges and burrs, ensuring a clean, premium finish.
High-Rigidity Main Rotor Control System
The innovative reverse-mounted ultra-short phase arm delivers extremely high rigidity, stable phasing, and exceptional control precision for a crisp, responsive, and predictable main rotor feel.
- Predictable Response – The helicopter reacts exactly when and where you command.
- Crisp Cyclic –No lag, just clean, direct inputs. Controls stay centred and consistent, flight after flight.
- Pinpoint Precision –Noticeably sharper in fast forward flight, hard stops, and aggressive
3D.
- PTFE-Sleeved Swashplate Anti-Rotation Ball – Minimises play and reduces friction, ensuring smoother, more precise swashplate movement and consistent control response.
- Anti-Loosening Main Blade Bolt Washers –Help prevent main blade bolts from loosening during flight, reducing the risk of boom strikes and improving flight safety
Integrated Main Frame Structure
- Reengineered for greater strength and rigidity, the main frame seamlessly integrates the chassis and electronics, with carefully balanced weight distribution for optimal performance and stability
- Integrated Main Shaft Block and Servo Mount – The redesigned main shaft block and servo mount create a stronger, more rigid structure, enhancing overall durability and providing rock solid support for precise, responsive control.
- 120° Evenly Distributed Geometry – The 120° geometry distributes loads evenly, delivering sharper control, consistent response, and smoother handling in every manoeuvre.
- One-Piece Motor Mount – The one-piece motor mount ensures precise gear alignment while making motor installation and removal quick, easy, and hassle-free.
New Battery and Wiring System
- Innovative Arched Battery Tray Rails – The battery tray sits securely within the curved rails, preventing unwanted movement during hard stops. The battery tray can be inserted from the rear. (Optional: Quick-release battery connector)
- M3 Through-Bolts – Link the upper and lower rails, boosting overall frame rigidity for rock-solid performance.
- Internal Wire Routing Channels – Integrated wire routing channels reinforce the upper frame structure while keeping wiring neatly covered, with no zip ties needed. The result is a cleaner and safer installation.
Efficient Compact Design
- Designed with a more compact structure and centralised mass, while the main shaft and intermediate assembly are lowered by 15mm, creating a lower, more stable profile for sharper, more controlled flight.
- Front-Mounted, Top-Positioned Tail Servo – Positioned at the front and top, the tail servo optimises the centre of gravity and delivers faster, sharper control response. The design also provides a clean, modern appearance and improved aerodynamic performance.
- Easy Maintenance – Despite the high-rigidity structure, maintenance remains quick and convenient
