XLPower Nimbus 550 V2

Details

The Nimbus 550 V2 Nitro is XLPower’s next evolution of its high-performance nitro-powered 550-class helicopter kit. Building on the proven foundation of the original Nimbus 550 Nitro, the V2 refines every critical system for greater smoothness, reliability, and control. It combines the precise control geometry of its electric predecessors with a robust, meticulously balanced nitro drivetrain—delivering responsive power, smooth clutch engagement, and exceptional maintainability for advanced pilots.

Features:

• Precision Swash Plate Geometry — Redesigned upper swash plate with longer outer swash balls eliminates unequal cyclic/collective differential, delivering perfectly balanced servo geometry without sacrificing proven control ratios.
• Pre-Balanced Tapered Clutch — Borrowed from the Nitro 700 platform, the tapered clutch ensures smoother engagement and effortless stack alignment, factory pre-balanced for ultra-low vibration right out of the box.
• One-Piece 7075 Aluminum Airframe — A single machined 7075 aluminum bearing block and servo mount form the rigid backbone of the frame, maximizing drivetrain stability and structural integrity under the most aggressive 3D maneuvers.
• 120° Cyclic Servo Layout — Servos arranged in an optimized 120° configuration ensure consistent and predictable control feel across the entire collective range, critical for precision aerobatics and competition flying.
• Tool-Friendly Maintenance Design — Engine pulls out from the bottom in minutes and the fan shroud detaches independently from the side, with zero need to disassemble other components — built for pilots who want to tune fast and fly more.
