Pros: Use it on my MT 325 metal head, need one round of tracking tape and the tracking is spot on, what amazed me was the blade CG balancing, its nicely balanced, other than that the blade stiffness is also good (but hey, don't compare with Radix :) ), pay for the price of woodie and get the quality of carbon, more than a fair deal, this hobby should not be so expensive anyway!
Cons: It comes with some minor cosmetic defective, but I don't find it a problem.
Other Thoughts: Definitely better than MT325 woodie, much quiet & much rigid, good for those that need to practice 3d moves.
Bottomline: get one one to try out, ignore the look, enjoy the pop!
Great value and quality

Pros: These blades are the real deal. Completely real carbon fiber and stiff enough for 3-D fligh
Cons: The only negative things that I have to say about these blades is that they have cosmetic defects and on my first order
the Blade grip mounting point was too thick for my T-rex 450, but on my second order they fit perfectly right out of the package.
Other Thoughts: As mentioned before these blades have cosmetic defects ranging from bubbles in the clear coat to the carbon fiber grain being
slightly off. When somebody buys a set of carbon fiber Blades for full price they expect them to be perfect from tip to tip which
is extremely difficult to do I imagine.
Bottomline: If you're a crash master such as myself then these blades are exactly what you need. I have crashed 15 plus times on one set of blades before they finally broke, and the only reason they broke then was because I hit a brick surface otherwise I would still be outside using them right now.
fair qulity for that price

Pros: I installed the blades on my Trex450.
I have both Align Wood blades and Align Carbon Fiber blades to compare with.
The DX blades are:
Very cheap !!! (great for practicing and crashing :) )
Real carbon fiber.
Very well balanced (I uploaded some pictures).
Fast shipping.
Good CG (Center of Gravity)
Hole centered and fits the Trex450 grips very good.
Cons: Many imperfections on the surface.
uneven trailing edge.
Created Tracking problems which i didnt had before when replacing blades.
I suspect that the blades are not symetrical enough due to poor quality assurance and that is the cause to the tracking issue.
Other Thoughts: maybe i shouldnt have bought 3 pairs before i tested one.
I will try the Fiber Glass 325 blades.
Bottomline: no other 325 Carbon Fiber blades for this price, so i guess the traking issue is something that i can live with.
Not the best, but usable

Pros: These blade are real carbon fiber. They are fairly stiff. They are cheap.
Cons: These blades are probably the leftover blades that are usable, but did not make the cut as seconds. They have many defects. Chips, air bubbles, scratches, finish problems, and size differences to name a few. My pair were different thicknesses.
Other Thoughts: These blades are perfect for the beginner 3-Der, who is definitely going to crash, but wants the performance of carbon fiber blades.
Bottomline: While not the greatest quality, they are good enough to use. I filled the defects in with CA glue, sanded them smooth and applied a very light coat of lacquer to mine. Now they look great.
