Axe 100 SS
Axe 100 SS delivers
brushless power for
3D aerobatics!
Heli-Max has combined Axe 100 CP agility with an aggressive brushless power system to create the Axe 100 SS
(Super Sport Brushless). It has the same performance-proven flybarless collective-pitch head and TAGS three-axis
gyro found in the CP, but expands the performance possibilities with a number of updates. A 14,750kV brushless
outrunner motor and brushless 10A controller boost power. Other enhancements include an extended tail boom as
well as a new frame and new rotor blades. It’s perfect for the pilot who wants to push the limits — and it’s available
as an all-in-one RTF with radio or in a Tx-R (Transmitter-Ready) version.
■■
Brushless-powered for mastering the most demanding stunts.
■■
Reinforced, molded airframe to accommodate brushless motor power.
■■
Features an individual controller and servos to maximize performance and simplify maintenance.
■■
Extended tail boom for improved tail authority.
■■
Dependable, responsive motor-driven tail rotor
■■
Ideal for indoor and outdoor flying.

The flybarless collectivepitch
rotor head is
mechanically simpler,
with fewer parts than
flybar designs. It not only
offers more durability and
efficiency, but a wider
flight envelope as well.
Rotary-drive, digital
servos offer added
speed and precision
and are fully encased
to improve impact
resistance and
durability.
All-axis heli control!
Unlike single-axis gyros, TAGS is specially tuned
to each heli and all three axes simultaneously.
It’s also specially tuned to the performance
characteristics of each Heli-Max heli, to deliver
the best in precise, simple control. In flight, it
effectively neutralizes the impact of wind and
other outside forces on handling, so you can
enjoy smoother maneuvering and easier hovering
indoors, or out. Once you’ve experienced TAGS,
you won’t ever want to fly without it!
The Axe 100 SS
frame features a
traditional design for
easy maintenance,
and reinforcement at
key points for added
strength and rigidity.
The large-diameter
main gear is
attached to the
hollow steel main
shaft with a screw to
prevent movement.
