HeliDirect is #1 for Helicopters HANDS DOWN!

I always get my helis and other accessories from HD! Been using you guys for years! This 580 is my 2nd one due to slow reaction doing 3D, but HD got me back in business with the quickness! Quick delivery, updated texts with shipping statuses to my DOOR! The Kraken 580 is a work of art, coming from Nitro Trex 600/700 this frame is easy to build, manual is full color with great detail and the packaging is SPOT ON! Every bag labeled for each step you’re on!
The 580 flies GREAT, very locked in feeling and looks badass in the air! The full fuselage also is nice but replace parts for carbon canopy and boom can be pricey. Get you one TODAY! You’ll love it!

My First Heli Build

This was the first Heli build i have ever done and i have to say having zero Heli build experience this kit went together very easy the parts were. Top quality and the directions were spot on The Heli and all the parts came packaged very securely in foam. Over all i am very pleased with the Kracken580 build i will be looking at another one in the future perhaps the orange and blue one. So if your looking for a first kit or your already experienced in Helis I would Highly recommend this one

THIS HELI IS AWESOME!!!

Love it as much as my Tron 5.8!! I bought it following the purchase of my Tron 5.8 and just love it as much as my Tron. I really didn't think I could find anything as good as my Tron until I bought this kit. Definately high quality, easy to build, and flys beautifully. I can't tell you between this and my Tron which one I like better, I like them both a lot!! If you want it, get it It!!!

Amazing Heli

Kit went together with relative ease. Installed all Spektrum electronics and FBL system. Love the color scheme and how well it stands out when in the air. Would definitely recommend.

Wow !!! The attention to detail on this helicopter is amazing it flies like no other helicopter!!!!

I’ve been flying over 12 years I have should’ve gotten one sooner, by far the best helicopter out there for your money , I will definitely be getting another one after I finish the align helicopter I’m building now for my son.

Amazing kit to build

This was my first Heli kit that I've built. I just have an RTF blade that I used to learn on. Let me just say this.. the kit was so much fun to build and all of the parts just fit together like butter. The only thing I needed to modify was the esc tray. It didn't have holes that fit the Hobbywing 120A esc. Just had to drill 2 extra holes, no issue at all. This kit was designed extremely well with high quality parts. I've built kits before and this was by far the most enjoyable. SAB quality is top tier, no questions asked.

My favorite 550-580 size helicopter

This is my favorite 550-580 size helicopter. I set up mine for 7S power system, 7S 4500mah packs, full size servos, RotorTech 580/96 blades with stock tail gear ratio, belt tensioner, and XGuardRC head dampeners. I fly mostly at 2000rpm on the middle bank, with high bank set to 2200rpm. 265 flights total so far.

I experienced slow tail wobble during hover originally, but that went away when I switched the stock dampeners to XGuardRC Rigidcore dampeners. The stock quick release canopy knobs may require a little fiddling to get them to work and secure the canopy properly, but I just replaced them with quick release Loxx knobs, and there is no longer an issue. The enclosed transmission works very well, but it is a PITA and messy to work on after a crash. The stock black skid struts are a bit difficult for my aging eyes to see well in the air, but I replaced them with white skid struts that work superbly well. The tail belt rubbed against the back of the tail servo; I remedied this by shimming the tail servo down by about 2mm.

Performance is superb. I've never been able to blow out the tail no matter what I throw at it. It does not autorotate as well as 700 size helicopters, but it does autorotate very well especially for being a mid size helicopter and sporting a belted tail.
