Flight test of the X251. You can get the X251 here: http://goo.gl/rdpBcX or here: http://tinyurl.com/ze3bg2t
In this video I go through a thorough flight test with some hard crashing. Be sure to check out my channel to see the other portion of this review.
Great review and I just ordered one ! I’m flying an Alias now and I want an
Aton, I thought this would work as an intermediate first. I would rather
break this for the $$ before I get an Aton for $400 plus.
You’re an awesome pilot Dustin! I may have to get me one since it’s very
durable!! (if you know what I mean) Lol. Since it only has a balance plug
it looks like you can’t put a storage charge on the battery?
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!!!
I have one more question. Between the x251 and the HiSKY HMX280 which would
make for a better quad for fpv and learning on before going own to racers?
That was fun! Great review. I want one!
I’ll quote DutchRC…
“Solution for the absent acro mode:
1. Power on transmitter
2. Set “G.S/Gear” switch to down position
3. Press and hold the “mode” button till the numbers “123456” start
flashing on the display
4. Rotate the rotary dial on the right in clockwise direction to the
position where the word “gyro” will be flashing on the display
5. Press the rotary dial, and a number will start flashing below the word
“gyro”.
6. Rotate the rotary dial so that the number is 25 (to check if the 6G mode
is still available, flick the “G.S/Gear” switch up, and see if the number
changes to 75
7. Press the “back” button one time, and then one more time, to leave
settings menu?”
Great. thank you! between your video’s and Full Metal Heli, I am anxious to
get me one of these.
Thanks very much Dustin. That was a good, two part review. I think I might
be their target demo, having flown toy grade quads for a while. I think I
have to have one of these now:)
this or the x350? What do you think?
Thanks for explaining acro mode, I bought a dromida ominus which has a full
acro mode just never could get manual flips out of it, guess my throttle
punch wasn’t high enough, so guess what i’m doing tomorrow lol. This will
definitely be my upgrade from the ominus :)
But man! … this thing flies fast, you have to stay away enough of the
fence!
It was logical that will crash to the fence, I saw it happen right in the
beginning the video haha….;)
Very Nice review! I am looking to purchase this quad but I haven’t been
able to find extra batteries or any accesories for it any ideas on where I
can find them?
Great Review Once Again……in your opinion which has more pitch x1 or
x251
hey dustin I am a biginir in drone fling and i dont know what drone to buy
the xk x251 or the jjrc x1? please answer me as son is posible .
hey Dustin do you know where I can buy spare batteries for the xk x251
drone?
nice!
How big are the props?
Can you please make a short video on how you make the loopings in acro
mode, showing how you operate the controller?
Love your videos, you got a very pleasant voice to listen to.
what’s the top speed …an approximation would be okay
You are great. And sold me on this! Just got a flash deal on gearbest for
$109
I am looking to move out of brushed motor quads and I think this will me my
first brushless motor quad. Great review.
Quick question; you got Acro on there right? Pretty sure my version will
not have Acro, but Rattitude instead!
Nevermind! Just saw aaaaaallll the comments regarding the programming on
it.
BIG WARNING – WL Toys has pulled a “bait and switch” with this quadcopter.
This quadcopter has been changed, or at least a “lesser” version is being
produced and sold without any differentiating label. This second version
has plastic landing skids, and no longer has “Acro” mode or “3G”. Instead,
it now has “3D” (auto flip) mode. Personally I don’t use auto flip,
headless or RTH, so this undocumented change is a big loss of
functionallity. I’m not sure if the original version is still available.
Gearbest is clearly showing the plastic landing gear and has confirmed via
a product question that their version no longer has the acro or 3G modes.
Banggood is still showing pictures and videos with the carbon fiber landing
skids, but acro and 3G are missing from the description. I have an
undelivered order for the X251 from Banggood from two weeks ago, and I
suspect I will be receiving the new brain dead version. I’m adding this
comment to all of the videos showing the original features in hopes of
preventing others from being fooled as I was.
mine came in today….with the cheap landing gear made of plastic….from
Gearbest……looks like Banggood shows the good landing gear on their
pages….for higher price…..which may switch to lesser landing ….at any
time!….still can’t wait to fly it….they have good landing gear parts
too for sale at banggood!….might be worth the 20.00 dollar higher price
tag if good landing gear comes with drone order?
The new batch of xk’s have crappy plastic landing skids …..when u switch
to red mode there is still self level full forward pitch gives u a silly
flip dissapointing!!
I’m having a problem with mine one of the motors twitches when I give it a
little throttle but when I give it more its fine and flies fine, still
concerned about it not sure what the problem is — thanks :)
Can you please do a video tutorial on Flipping with this quad because I
definitely would buy it if I knew how to do some flips ? Great video
thanks for sharing.
hi, just got mine and its the 1st brushless ive owned, as you can imagine i
was exited to get it in the air, all was going well until the ccw prop nut
shot of never to be found, no spares seem to be available so grounded,
think its a 4mm shaft, any ideas on replacement?
Dustin, I ordered a XK X251 QUADCOPTER FROM GEARBEST WHEN I GOT IT AND
OPENED IT ALL IT WAS ,WAS AN EMPTY BOX! NOTHING INSIDE BUT THE STYROFOAM
GEARBEST TOLD ME TO TAKE PICS OF MISSING ITEMS AND PACKAGING IT WAS A BROWN
BOX WITH THE XK X251 BOX INSIDE,I USED MY VISA CARD SO THEY TOLD ME THEY
WOULD REFUND ME IN FULL BUT I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO GIVE GEARBEST A CHANCE,
WELL ANYWAY I KNOW IF ANYONE WOULD KNOW IT WOULD BE YOU, I READ THAT ONCE
YOU OPEN UP THE XK251 BODY THERE ARE PLACES TO SOLDER A GPS MODULE TOO, DO
YOU KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT? AND IF YES CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW TO DO IT? THANK
YOU FOR ALL YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEO REVIEWS!
“Dear customer, Thanks for your comments of X251 and thanks for your
constant support. Our former thinking is to do 3D X251, which can
make 3D aerobatic flying. But we discard this plan, and do a self-level 3D
X251. Because, • 3D aerobatic flying, market is smaller and smaller.
Our current self-level 3D function can roll from different direction,
cooperating by sticks on the TX, which can increase the interest and
easy to operate. Our self-Level 3D function, pls visit this video,
• Our target market of X251 is for primary racing quadcopter. Primary
means, easy to operate, and easy to roll. Above these 2 reasons, we
do the current self-level 3D X251. If you need real 3D aerobatic
flying, please go to buy our new products X252, 5.8G FPV integrated 3D
aerobatic flying quacopter.”
What a joke. middle finger.
Dustin I lost a prop and prop cap today…what is the diameter of these
motor stems
and where can you get a replacement for it other than china…thanks
so can the xk x251 fly inverted???
On the newer batch without acro mode, is there any difference when changing
the gyro numbers? Or is it just “auto flip” on or off? Will there be any
difference with the flying?
is there a way to turn off the lights??
beautiful Thanks for sharing✌
Great flying! seems like a great quad also.
I have been watching allot of videos on this quad and I hear nothing but
good things! I have been wanting this for a little while now and I finally
bought it yesterday. I cannot wait for it to come in the Mail. thanx for
another kick ass review. I got mine from banggood but I saw it on gearbest
for only 99$.

Great review. Got to get one of these!
Looks like XK is having the best blowout sale they have ever had to date.
Great opportunity to pick up what you’ve had your eye on for cheap:

Too bad they took away the acro, it would have been a good trainer for new
at sport quad
Can I have a question? If I want to flip, just flip the 3d/6g button. Than,
increase the throttle and get some altitude. Than, fully move the right
stick in one of the directions. It will flip 360 degree? Right? Thx
Thank you , Dustin! My one is on the way. I will try it when it arrived.
