Air Hogs brings back their 4ch helicopter, the Helix 360, this time redesigned and renamed Axis 400X. The Helix 360 is my favorite toy-grade helicopter, so I'm very excited to see them bring it back out as the Axis 400X. :)
Enjoy!

I'm glad they are improving with these toy grade RC helicopters. I remember back in 2008 or so, where you couldn't control where the helicopter went. So I used to add small weights on the front to make it go forward. Now I'm using hobby grade helicopters with collective pitch ranging from $200 to $400. I thank Airhogs for getting me started with this hobby.
This brings back a lot of memories for me
Ryan...this is my first helicopter. Never flew one before and I love it. Yeah, I crashed it a lot but it really is pretty easy to fly. You are so right about trying to fly it outside. It doesn't. thanks for the great video.
Glad you liked my video, and the helicopter. :)
I like it, I just bought a $25 3 channel. I believe this is my 3rd one. nice review dude 👍
I just can't say enough good things about this heli! I absolutely love it! Super stable and perfect for practice of 4 channel from the comfort of your living room. I liked it so much i went back and bought another one in the other available color. :)
fordxbgtfalcon I agree :)
Norfolk Southern GP38-2s Railfanning I'm not sure. Maybe it didn't sell well, or maybe they only manufactured a certain number, and when those sold out, they didn't make more.
Norfolk Southern GP38-2s Railfanning I think trains are cool, but I've never particularly followed them or looked into them much.
nice review, my favorite color too
orange.
i have the 300 and the 200 they are great for small rooms really fun and easy to fly i gotta get this one
I have the 400X and it is a blast to fly around the house!
R00dBoiGaming Great little heli. :)
I bought a broken helix 360 online and removed the charging cable from the transmitter and made my own usb charging cable out of it back when I first owned one. I have since sold it but this video has made me want to purchase another used one off eBay if I can find a good deal on one. As you, I also learned 4 channel flying with it. Thanks for the review!
QR r your just wqwweyooidd.
+Sana Shabandri What??
Thanks for ur videos man, really enjoying them. u just earned a sub. keep on making stuff. :D
Charles King Thanks, I'm glad you like them! :D
Nice little Helo :) God a lonk time I didn't fly an helo :)
SeBy DocKy Helicopters were my original RC passion, but then quadcopters came out and I've been so obsessed with them ever since. lol Still have that original passion and curiosity for helis though. :)
Nice helicopter! Hovered great it did!
TOJO RC Yeah, I love this little hell. :)

got a 300X at goodwill for $7 as my first RC flying anything. so much fun for so little money. pursuit of an upgrade has brought me here. sub'd.
Thanks for subbing! Lots of content for you to check out here, so let me know if you have any questions. Welcome to the hobby! :)
Nice heli! Saw it at Walmart!
Frequent Flyer RC Another good one from Air Hogs. :D
Hey Ryan, great reviews recently, unfortunately i haven't been able to comment for them as I've been abroad with friends for a while, but I have kept up to date as of yet ;) Great reviews, keep up the awesome work!
And i especially like the syma x11!
OllieTheCat2012 Thanks man! The X11 is awesome. :) Enjoy your time abroad with your friends! :D
IF THIS HELI BEHAVES ERRATICALLY AFTER CRASHING:
This can, if you crash it hard enough, have its cyclic control stuck on full right, or full back (or, less likely, full forward or full left).
The cyclic is not a proper swash plate but two U shaped bars operated by servos that alter the angle of the rotor disc by acting on a larger cylindrical drum that moves the rotor blades and flybar.
.
With big impacts, those U shaped bars can end up with one upright portion of the U stuck *inside* the 'sleeve' on the rotor assembly that they use to alter rotor angle. When this happens, the rotor will bind and 'click' over as you spin it. The heli will also fly full[whatever angle it's stuck on] after you take off. Don't panic, read on.
To fix, disassemble the shell with an eyeglasses screwdriver, pry apart, and pry the upright 'leg' of the U outside of the rotor cyclic 'drum', then check for free rotation of the rotor without binding. Make sure it is still located on the peg protruding from the servo. Unsticking it from the drum can also have it popped off its servo peg/dowel.
I have crashed this now so many times in 5 days [first rc helo ever, let alone 4 channel... that was maybe a bad idea] that i've removed the screws from the canopy shell so i can fix this condition quickly and just .... not bothered to put the screws back in. The canopy deforms easily enough to make this a 1 minute fix.
nice flyin!!
Thanks! :)
Im coming from my ol Airhogs Reflex. I would like to have whatever is most similar to the Reflex cause that thing was awesome. Should i get a Axis 400x or 300x?? Thanks
+Jake Tuohy Haha, the Reflex was my first 3ch helicopter! That was a weird little thing, and they've gotten much better since those days. The 300X is 3ch, so it would be similar to the reflex. The 400X is 4ch, so it would be a step up, and harder to fly, but faster and more fun, and would be good to learn if you want to continue on in the hobby. :)
I heard u can back turns w this chopper?
Great stability
AWESOME!
Looks a tough little fella.
nice video fling ryan
Thanks! :)
Picked up one after I saw your vid! I too had the helix. Got a question though. It rotates left all the time and requires at least 3 full turns to trim and hover correctly. Any suggestions on this?
Dave's Aquarium You might check the tail rotor for damage or warping, etc, or just replace it with the spare and see if that's any better. Otherwise, I wouldn't really worry about it… if you're able to trim it out, that should be fine.
Wow that is stable!! Nice reviev!
Lund Filmsnutter Thanks! Nice little heli. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC
So what do you think the Axis 500X will look like?
Loony Luna Is there such a thing? :O
Flyin' Ryan RC
I hope there is because if you notice on the box each one has the amount of stars as the name implies. Ex: the 200x has 2 stars, the 300x has 3 stars and the 400x has 4 stars. So I'm hoping for the 5 star heli.
Loony Luna Maybe a bigger 2,4ghz 4ch single-rotor outdoor heli. :D
I saw those at Walmart and i always thought it was a two Channel now i know its a four channel i might get one to train on to move up to the bad boys. :-)
Good review 👍.....
sameer kadam Thanks!
I don't understand why you cannot use it outdoors? What does infrared have to do with flying it outside? Txs.
+Detectingthe North The sun emits infrared rays, so if you fly it in sunlight there is a good chance that the sunlight will take over control.
And I love the review
MCaaron Thanks! :)
neat heli
awsome thx ill get it i have the axis 400 ill get it
Nice fish lamp
Jeff Ftacek Thanks, it is pretty cool. :)
Flyen ryen rc do you a new air hogs gyro blade?It is really good and looks nice
Yashfe Hassan I reviewed the Gyroblade a long time ago. ;)
When mine took off it went crazy flipped over and just went nuts
Ryan i flew my sky rover navigator outside once the sun went down and flew it super high too! Please try it trust me you wont regret also could you review sky rover swift.
Nice video
Ishaks kanal Thanks! :)
Good to see that you're doing a helicopter once in a while. Shave that this is infrared though :(
Jordan O'C Yeah, Air Hogs needs to move on to 2.4ghz in all their models.
Flyin' Ryan RC Yes definitely. Other than that, it's a good chopper :D
Hey can I ask for your opinion on the OrangeTX from HobbyKing? I really need a standalone TX and RX, and I think this one has great bang for its buck.
Jordan O'C I have mixed feelings on Orange. I have friends that swear by them, but I also have a friend that worked for Horizon Hobby customer service, and he handled countless calls due to brownouts with those.
Flyin' Ryan RC Think about the affordability of it though. It's just £50 for the transmitter AND the receiver. For a Spectrum DX6i, that's like £120+ for the transmitter alone :(
Jordan O'C You get what you pay for. ;) And why trust a several hundred dollar RC to the cheapest radio gear? ;)
you should design a small course for micro quads that is easy to build to the same measurements and start some kind of league where we can all build our own try to do it the fastest. like a 4x8 space with lots of obstacles and you have to have the quad pointed certain ways during it.
TheTubeTempest Sounds fun! I am actually part of a group on Facebook that does similar things. People create "challenges" and others see how well they can do at the same challenge. :)
hi flyin' ryan! I was wondering if you could do a speedtest with the drones :)
victor carlsen I don't have any accurate way of doing that.
ok
Hi again! I managed to crash my 400x (again) and now when I take off it darts to the left.
I checked all the obvious and can't find anything wrong. Tried the trim both ways and no change. Any tips. BTW...Your videos are extremely informative. Thank You!
There is a piece in the main rotor assembly that can get stuck out of place... I believe someone made a pretty detailed comment about how to fix it, so read through the other comments on this video and see if you can find it. :)
Thanks I'll try that.
how much price of it in india.
I bought the same one, is it suppose to only fly fast when its clockwise because it won't pick up speed when I try to do a figure 8 counter clock bruh
Keury Ramos I don't recall for sure, but it's fairly common for stuff like that to occur with single-rotor helicopters, since they create torque in one direction, they tend to turn faster in that direction.
Well mine dose not turn counter clock wise at all bro lol I'm about to just return it and buy the hero rc h911 do you think that's better?
Keury Ramos Yeah, I think the 911 will be the better heli.
I just got this. way better then the gyro blade!
TheBigb1973 Glad you like it! :)
Nice heli. Wish they make the next one 2.4ghz
I had the first generation 4 channel air hogs heli and it was better than hobby grade rc of same scale (size).
Hey Ryan I just ordered the Ls 112 and it said it would take 7-25 days! Did I order wrong? I'm located in Texas. Thanks!!
7-25 days!? Good luck with the wait man.
Paintballdude516 Did you order from my link to GearBest? If so, they ship from China, so that's about right. I've had free shipping from China take anywhere from 6 days to 6 weeks. :/
29 days to eastern Canada from gearbest , ordered a charger from banggood -- 11 days .
kendall connolly It's all completely random... doesn't matter what store you order from... they all use the same shipping couriers. They basically just fill a shipping container until it's packed, and then ship it off, so it's random luck wether your order is one of the first or last placed in the container. Smaller orders tend to come faster, since I think they toss those into nearly-full shipping containers, whereas bigger shipments have to go into the emptier containers.
Yes I did Ryan. I figured that's what it was. Thanks!!
does it always move Forward? thanks for the review
I don't recall now, but that is likely something I talked about and/or showed in the review.
That's was my question to. My niece wanted a rc heli. And the one I got her was only $20 and it keeps going forward all the time and has horrible response it seems. Any advice on a easy one she could fly she's almost 10.
Also look up parrot minidrones rolling spider it is a cool drone with 4 main relpelers and you control it with all smartphone ( apple and android) the app is free flight 5.0. Also it has a camera
Yashfe Hassan My review of that will be coming soon. I'm not a big fan of it. :/
That thing sucks hardcore! Parrot is a worthless overpriced brand in my opinion. I will NEVER buy anything from them!
Does this Axis 400X fly better than the Syma S-107
Frank Nap Well, since this is 4ch, and the S107G is only 3ch, I would say that is "better", though the S107G is more stable since it has coaxial rotors, whereas this is single-rotor.
I see.. Great. Thank You !! :)
review the axis 2oox
I agree, it's a great little 2 channel heli, i love mine! :)
how long does it take to charge and I am doing it now
I covered that in the review.
Are quads more fun than normal helicopters?
TheTubeTempest I think so, but everyone has their own opinion. :)
sir how much did you sale your rc hellicopter???
I don't sell anything.
I bought the air hogs gyro blade a few days ago and have already taken it back to the store. It was uncontrollable. I tried setting it up 30 or 40 times. Never got it to take off stable at all. its back at the toy place where I bought it. Take my advise buy a different one
I would say it's the pilot, lol, and not the copter. Mine flys perfect. I love it .
K your opinion. I HAVE 2 air hogs heli's and both are twitchy and very squirrely including my axis 200 and ive kept them both . I think i just got a refurbished bad one from the mall. The gyro blade was just way to touchy and i never could get it to hover for more than 2 seconds without it making wide circles around the room. So take it for what it's worth, just me telling you not ro waist your money on one particular product.
Henry Matthews The Gyroblade is awesome and one of my favorite Air Hogs ever. You clearly got a bad one, and even said so, so there is no reason to tell people not to buy the product. The product itself is great... you just got a dud, and that can happen with all RCs. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC agreed i picked another one up and it is fine
Henry Matthews Glad to hear that. :)
Heads up. This is on clearance on Wal-Mart's website for only $25
can you do a review on the Air hogs axis 200?
MrGamesAreBoring Thinking about it. :)
cool
Are Havoc Helis still being sold?
+TheJewelOfJool Yep! Though, I think the Axis 200X may be the current version of what is essentially the Havoc Heli.
Nice review man :)
Thanks!
i want to get this kind of thing as my first heli
I flew mine accidentally I top of a roof and recovered it this helicopter is awesome I love it
LittleBuddy This heli uses infrared, so it is not meant to be flown outdoors, fyi.
Yeah I know I just wanted to see if it worked 😂
heli review, hell yal
4thGloryMonday :)
i suddenly became more interested in the fish light
i mean do u keep everything u bought or o u give it away
I keep some, and I give some away to family and friends.
Oh
Hows it compare to the gyroblade?
The art of Hex They are basically the same thing, except this is 4ch, whereas the Gyroblade is 3ch.
Might have to grab one of these some time. Ive gone thru a gang of helis and the only ones ive like are the gyroblade and my syma s014. And youre right; hey air hogs, give us the usb charger already.
Can I buy the axis 400x from u flying'Ryan rcIn coins dimes quarters
Carter Gamradt cheap ass
The Air Hogs Axis 200, does any1 know why it keeps spinning?
+Elephant123 You need to use the trim buttons to stop the spinning.
Flyin' Ryan RC Ahh, thx!
+Elephant123 We have two of the Axis 200's. One spins wildly after a charge and needs and 15+ presses of the right trim button before it flys good. The other works pretty good with very little adjustments.
Kevin Singleton Hmm. I think I have the first one you mentioned. Thank you!
does it last that long
+mohammad saghir That is entirely dependent on how you treat it and how much/hard you crash it.
did u use a gopro?
No
what is the fly time on this
I covered that in the review.
+Flyin' Ryan RC Okay ill Re watch
how much money do you think they are actually saving by using infrared vs. 2.4ghz. I will never buy a infrared copter ever again, can't even truly take them outside
Raymond Dietz I've wondered that same thing. It's really time Air Hogs moves on to all 2.4ghz. I read countless reports of people buying their kids IR helis for Christmas, and the kid immediately took it outside and it flew away (because the sun was basically controlling it). Not only does IR limit our options, but there are clearly a lot of people out there that simply don't understand that you can't fly an IR heli in the sunlight. :/
it spins for me to it's spouse to do that there a way you have to do it
+Butch Walsh You have to use trim to stop the spinning.
Looks more stable then my Blade MSR lol
XxxInTheMiddlexxX Hehe :)~
they should make an outdoor version
I have this helicopter
Where to buy?
Purchase links can be found in the video description. This is old though, and may be discontinued, so I'm not sure if it's in stock everywhere anymore.
Flyin' Ryan RC. I see. Thank you. Any advice, which is better WL V915 Lama Mini Helicopter or V931 AS530?
Better in what way? Those are two very different types of helicopters, so pretty hard to compare.
Flyin' Ryan RC Yeah, I guess it's like a "torn between two lovers" thing Hard to decide which is which Haha. Thank you.
The V931 is likely the better perform. The V915 is pretty big, slow, and clumsy. It's fixed-pitch with a flybar, whereas the V931 is collective-pitch, flybarless, and smaller.
i have the airhogs axis 200
air hogs 400x is better or air hogs gyroblade
+Anita Dhiman They are pretty much the same thing, except the Gyroblade is 3ch and the 400X is 4ch.
25.00$
Air hogs should make an airwolf helicopter
Make more helicopter videos
MCaaron Yes sir! :)
USB, USB, USB!!!!
6 minutes after a 35 minute charge!?!
Yep, that’s pretty much the standard for this type and size of RC helicopter.
I'm immediate what r u guys?
get an rc chinook
I have the Sliverlit Nano Tandem, which is a nano Chinook. Review coming soon! There aren't many other RC Chinooks though, other than the old Syma models.
Rachel Carlin review the syma chinook
The web site is too poor for the description!! No specification! How people want to know about it? The your web is just for people to see and know nothing!!
Huh?
+Flyin' Ryan RC I think he mean the website not yours.
i havo one a dose
Not for beginners really. It's made for kids.
Not all kids are beginners. And beginner kids should start with a coaxial 3ch helicopter, then move up to something like this.
Boo infrared
Ben Pyka Yeah, it's time Air Hogs moves on to 2.4ghz for models like this.
Ryan u will never believe what just happened to me!!! I was flying my x4 outside in the front yard when off in the distance I saw a huge bird I mean huge it had to be some sort of hawk or something my quad battery died so I brought out my hypertrax its green like yours and sure enough it started circling my house!!! I guess it thought it was a lizard or something this thing was huge!!!!
Ben Pyka Hahaha that would've been awesome if it swooped down at it. :)~
Yeah the scary part was I lost track of it in the trees behind the house and my battery died while it was in the middle of the yard so I ran and got it before it swooped down on me and the car!! Lol
GIVE US USB'S TO CHARGE ON AIR HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( 🔌🔋🔌
the old helix 360 flew better. i was disappointed in the 400's handling. cant recommend it over 30 bucks
+mark sommer I am pretty sure they are literally the exact same flight hardware... just different body designs.
+Flyin' Ryan RC
I probably got a dud . The forward and back are almost nill. I loved the 360...unbreakable...im into a plane next...some many rc toys so little time!
+1 usb charge...love ur work
mark sommer I just got the new Air Hogs Star Wars RCs, and they all have USB pass-through on the transmitter now. So, while it's not a true USB charger, you can connect the transmitter to USB, and then connect the RC to the transmitter, and it passes power through to the USB, instead of running down the batteries in the controller. :)
The inferred kind of sucks
Sad to see Air Hogs (now Spin Masters) get out of the helicopter business. It's all drones now. Sigh.
Spin Master is the mother company of the Air Hogs brand. And they still make helicopters: airhogs.com/products&cat=cat_ah_fly
Yes, Spin Master is the mothership. But they really only have ONE legit heli - the Alpha. The rest are all drone style. There are some still floating around at retail chain warehouses or shelves - like the Axis 400, still avaialble at Toys R Us. But they are all on the chopping block. Or chopped. :(
I really sad when bought it and Just know that was ir toy.

Nice video
alberticey 100 Thanks. :)
