I received the Blade CX as a gift. I now have a Blade MCX and LOVE it. It took a little while to switch to left hand "tail rotor" so-to-speak control. The left right cyclic is fantastic and you get about twice the run time on the 180mA batteries vs. the 70mA in the CX. The MCX has connectors on the motor leads so they can be changed although the are still mounted with glue.

What does the red indicator on the bottom left of the post indicate?
