This heli looks so perfect built! Amazing, just having a look at the lower aluminum frame with the x-shape in the square... Cant wait to get mine the next few days. I am waiting for it since I placed the preorder on 26.07.2022.... the longest waiting time ever (felt).... Great unboxing and explanations, Jeff!! Thanks!!
Thank you I appreciate it! I try to be very thorough! It is definitely a step up over the original M2 as far as simplicity but strength goes. I really like the how they tie the whole bottom motor mount and boom mount all together which gave it a very rigid frame design! Hopefully you get yours soon!
Looks great! Had an order in for the new Eachine/Yuxiang D/D E180 V2 but they couldn't deliver...had it on order for going on three months. Cancelled and ordered this Racing Yellow one today........... I am a RTF guy so I got with the radio. I am new to OMP, how long for parts support/availability to happen?
You went the right one! OMP makes a incredible heli! You won’t be disappointed with it! I don’t have a definite answer on when spare parts will be available. But hopefully soon! We are all are all waiting on them!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Well, I got the Racing Yellow one today and the whole package and presentation is top shelf. I will admit.....I was a bit frustrated. I got the RTF with the R/M Zorro and I had no clue (until after an hour of bad language) that it does NOT come with the lipo batteries needed. I had to order the required 18350 batteries separately/from a different source. They should have said something.
I have the M1. It is a great Heli at doing BIG Loops, and flies like it is on Rails, but, what I find though is that it "moves around a lot, takes up a lot of space, and doesn't like staying still + feels Sluggish on the Sticks, even though I have 100% D/R setting". compared to my Blade Helicopters. WestHobbiesRc, how can I make the M1 follow my Stick Movements ? ( I'm using Spectrum DX8e with sat. ) appreciate any Intel. regards, DT
your experience is way dfferent than mine....bought a blade 330s and crashed it wthin 3 mns using normal mode. then i bought a m2 explore.....night and day difference ! hovers 100 times better than the 330s, out of the box, with zero adjustments. i also use a spektrum tx
I got all my micro heli parts in for my blade fusion 180. I spent well over $300 on all the red anodized aluminum pieces I can't wait to put it all together. In the comments right before purchase I made sure to leave an awesome comment. It said thanks to West hobbies Rc I saw a video on TH-cam done by Jeff west I honestly wouldn't have known about or even have ordered any parts if it wasn't the video on the blade infusion 180.
Awesome! Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it. Microheli make some incredible parts and you will not be disappointed! They have been around for a very long time and I have been using them for well over 10 years now well before the channel before I got sponsored by them. I only promote products I stand behind and they are definitely one of them! You will be amazed at the flight performance difference after you’re done with the microheli parts!
I bought a goosky a few weeks ago and it's amazing. This one looks extremely similar. I bet it's just as awesome. I might pick up one of these as well. These new little helis fly just as well as my larger helis.
nice review! looks like a pretty nice little heli and you could try the old zip tie on main shaft to level the swashplate. thanks for all the work you put in promoting rc helicopters. it is greatly needed i went to 2 local fun fly events in my area and was the only one there with a helicopter!
Thank you! I greatly appreciate all the support. Yeah I could always do this if tie trick, I just wanted to point the leveler out so they could fix it because even if you put it in upside down then the server‘s are too high so it is definitely not thick enough. I’ve been trying my best to help and promote the helicopter side of the hobby as we definitely need more of it. I have been to multiple local flying events and nobody flying helicopters but going to IRCHA this past weekend gave me hope!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 yeah man I watched that video to I'm a little jealous you won a goblin but honestly you deserve it so congrats! I hope I can save and afford to buy one
when are you getting the omp hobby m4, I would like to see the built on this heli ,as for now goosky rs4 look like the way to go, any way will wait. thanks.
For those purchasing a new M2 EVO (5 June 2024 the day I wrote this) the main motor arm from swash plate to blade grips are no longer adjustable, they are one solid piece.
Do they make a s-fhss protocol version for the futaba like the m1 evo has, or is the m2 evo only this version where you have to use the s-bus micro receiver for the futaba? Thanks
Thanks for sharing! I just got me an M2 V2, wish I would have waited a tad more. Still, I will get one of these, though! I'm also interested in that swash leveler. I have a few ALZRC heli's and looks like their levelers work the same, but I don't know how to use them either. I hope someone figures them out!!
The original M2 is still a fantastic models! But in the EVO does Beat it hands down. Really did a great job on the upgrade with this one. The swatch plate leveler is going in the way it is supposed to the problem is it is not thick enough. I’ve already talk to them about it so we’ll see what we can figure out!
Great video and I share your enthusiasm. OMP builds exceptional RC helicopters. I guess you can use the OMP protocol out of the box ? I should just suck it up and bind it to my DX 6E. It’s just easy to use the T6 but it really is a junk transmitter. I could never understand building such a good quality heli and pairing it with such a toy grade transmitter. I’m sure as I progress I’m going to want to have more control over the settings. Also, when you have zero pitch on your blades at mid stick does that essentially mean your swash is level? Looks like it is. Need to watch more videos on leveling a swash. Right now for me if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and mine hover fine. Thanks again. Looks like I’ll be needing one of these. I have the older version and I think its a great heli so I guess if this one’s even better it must really be awesome. Finally, sorry if I missed it but I think you said the older OMP batteries will fit? I hope so. I have a ton of those and my flying is not yet at a level where I would miss the extra power. It’s such a nice helicopter I almost don’t want to fly it until my skills are better. Obviously, I’ve had to replace a few servo horns, but working on tailboom’s etc. is something I can’t stand, let alone having to mess with the head. That’s why I’m hanging onto my Blade 150 so it can be my 3-D guinea pig 😉
New to channel! I was considering getting into Heli's again. I have a blade nano back in the day, but never went too far with it. Would you recommend this over the new Blade InFusion 180 SMART (Direct Drive) -- and the 230s? Any info you could share with me on this topic would be really appreciated!
Welcome! Thank you for coming to the channel! So yes I would definitely recommend this over a Infusion 180 or 230. Few main reasons, one parts cost and main cost. Pretty much all three of these helis cost the same. Infusion 180, 230 and M2 EVO. OMP parts cost will be cheaper and handle crashes better as they are very well built. OMP did a heck of a job on there FBL tune, it flys incredible! Super solid and will grow will you. The M2 EVO can be a perfect learning heli or all out 3D monster. Only thing you will need if flying spektrum is a DSMX satellite to bind.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 wow thansk so much for the fast reply! That sounds like fun. One more question? Do you have a video or recommendation on a Flight Sim software or w\e I need to practice with??
@@rsnate2930 you’re welcome! So as far as simulators. There’s multiple great options on the market! I personally use ACCURC and really like it but it does take some involvement as far as programming and setting up. You basically have to set your transmitter up like you are setting up a helicopter and go that way. Realflight 9 is a fantastic simulator and you can get everything you need out of the box to start. So those are two great options to look into.
Will the evo tail blade fit onto the explore? I know the evo tail motor bigger but just wondering if it will fit and able to run it without burning out. Would be nice if it could solve tail blow out. Otherwise i will just upgrade explore with the evo boom, tail motor, tail blade and main blades
So yes technically speaking the tail blade will fit on the original M2. It is the same bolt pattern and everything. But the way they are getting away with the better tell performance is the longer tailbone! That coupled with the big room tell motor and bigger tail blade gives the tail performance incredible leaps and bounds over the original M2. I would definitely be interested to see if the tail motor on the M2 could handle the bigger tail blade with out getting hot! I’ll definitely try it
Would it be safe to wrap a couple of layers of electrical tape around a LiPo? I can't find any M2 EVO batteries. Bought some Gens Ace off amazon and they are barely too small to fit in the EVO, since it has the compression fit or w\e. What ya think?
@@westhobbiesrc8051 hi and thanks for your reply! Normally i charge at 1C, but at the flyingfield i decided to charge 2 C. So i think its ok for the OMP Lipos. Stefan
Highly recommend this one! Definitely one to have. I don’t believe they are discontinuing the original am to just gonna add it to the lineup. Great thing is you can convert your M2 to an Evo at this price point I highly recommend picking one up!
Hey buddy, I need your help again! What size driver is the bolt that holds the motor to main shaft? 1.5mm is too small and 2mm is too big… it’s not standard either, tried those. Star bit maybe? I’m so confused!!
@@hammerdown4848 Great thing to know! I have not pulled the main shaft yet. I figured it was just like the regular M2 and a 1.5mm thanks for letting me know!
The EVO is incredible! Really really impressed with this one. The S2 is great as well. They are both right there with each other on every level of the spectrum
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Nice, guess I can apply my settings from my M2 V2 with a little more tweak for the EVO. Thank you Sir! Always enjoy your review content and for sharing your file setup for the BL2 and 150s.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 okay, if i bind it to my spektrum transmitter does the heli have safe mode allready with limited bank on the stick, sorry about my english haha.
Does this Heli use the same parts list for the most part as the M2? I was thinking about getting one, but all the websites show no parts for this one. Buddy's RC shows sold out etc.
Not really, it shares the same skids and a few other little parts like linkages servos and feathering shaft. Parts have not got here yet but they should be very soon. Hopefully by the end of this month they will have full parts in stock.
@@cxone1249 yes the M2 EVO will accept the M2 EXP/V2 battery’s. As long as the battery’s have a XT30 and are the measurements of the battery in the video they will work.
Have this on order in the UK, Do you know much about running EdgeTX and radiomaster tx16? Just got the TX16 with edgeTX and the YT setups for M2 are all OpenTX
That would be great, I am new to open source, I have just got tx16 with edgetx and boy am I lost! That sicker is weird to use and all the how to, s on the omp are open not edgetx
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I got a $42 heli from Walmart and inside my house it flies like a dream. outside doesn't fly at all. and I'm talking in little to no wind.
@@Alex-sg3yz the biggest reason why is Because those helis are infrared control so sunlight will block the radio. These helis are hobby grade that fly on 2.4g radios.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 NOno, tis is not better, is simple easiyer for manufac. I prefer the CFX or Fusion Geometry, and i wish a OMP Heli with this Servo Geometry...
Hello! I don’t use D/R or Expo. It’s a personal preference and I like the model to be as fast and responsive as possible. I don’t like to move my sticks far and fly around center stick.
welp.... its me again D:... I got my M2 EVO today!! How do you know I am a noob? I have no way to charge the battery lol. Let me just reference the.... oh wait... no instruction manual . It's so hard to find info, I'm so sorry I keep asking questions! So, how do I charge the EVO battery? I see some things online, OMPHOBBY Balance charger, but maybe only for old versions? Then I see things like iCharger and power supplies that are going to cost as much as the Heli did. What exactly do I need here D:.... please?
So you need a charger, the EVO uses a XT30 connector. There is a bunch of different crate chargers on the market. You just need a XT30 lead to plug into the battery and a charger. ISDT makes a fantastic charger and cheap! The Q6 will do everything you need and more and is $35 from buddy RC. You will need a power supply of come sort. There is chargers with power supply built in but they are more.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I live in Joliet Illinois is that a place that will get it next week or so. I wish I could of met you at ircha to talk to you in person but hopefully next year because I’m a pretty big fan of yours I watch your videos almost every day because they are super helpful.

My plane is to upgrade the blades on mine,,,with the new motor,,,my tail motor has been hanging on for 2 years so a new bigger one won't hurt...or I could just buy the helicopter,,
I was going to upgrade my original EXP as well but the price point of the evil it is not worth it lol they price this thing to sell! And it is worth every penny
I probably spent 20 minutes trying different ways upside down right side up and it’s just one extreme to the other. I have already been talking with OMP about the issue to fix.

@@kunad2294 thank you! Hopefully soon! Talking with them now. If they don’t send one I will buy one just for review and build videos.
Hi, WestHobbiesRC, can I use tail boom from M2 v2 on this evo? thank you
Yes you can, it will just be shorter
welp.... its me again D:... I got my M2 EVO today!! How do you know I am a noob? I have no way to charge the battery lol. Let me just reference the.... oh wait... no instruction manual . It's so hard to find info, I'm so sorry I keep asking questions! So, how do I charge the EVO battery? I see some things online, OMPHOBBY Balance charger, but maybe only for old versions? Then I see things like iCharger and power supplies that are going to cost as much as the Heli did. What exactly do I need here D:.... please?
So you need a charger, the EVO uses a XT30 connector. There is a bunch of different crate chargers on the market. You just need a XT30 lead to plug into the battery and a charger. ISDT makes a fantastic charger and cheap! The Q6 will do everything you need and more and is $35 from buddy RC. You will need a power supply of come sort. There is chargers with power supply built in but they are more.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I literally do not know what I would do without you right now. I hope I can return the favor some day.....

Nice review
Thank you!
My plane is to upgrade the blades on mine,,,with the new motor,,,my tail motor has been hanging on for 2 years so a new bigger one won't hurt...or I could just buy the helicopter,,
I was going to upgrade my original EXP as well but the price point of the evil it is not worth it lol they price this thing to sell! And it is worth every penny
Its all on backorder
Look into the Goosky S2
will there be a m1 evo?
Yes sir! That will be out very soon
I wish that they would bring back the old blue color scheme.
me too! liked that scheme but really liking the red even though I’m not a red person lol
Maybe i buy this heli looks powerfull
“We’re testing a prototype motor for a bigger model” ???? What do you mean? Are we possibly getting an M5?? 🤓
🧐🧐 don’t know! The motor I’m testing is a new line up from Sunnyskiy for the 550-700 helis! Videos very soon!
T REX 250 type.
Flip the leveler the other way .
No, if you flip the leaver the servos arms are still of. Did it both ways.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Well that sucks.
I probably spent 20 minutes trying different ways upside down right side up and it’s just one extreme to the other. I have already been talking with OMP about the issue to fix.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Well that's good , if they are going to take the time and material to make one , they might as well make it right .
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I did mean to offend by the statement , I figured you would have tried. Just had to say it . I know thay you know your shit .
