Are you talking nitro or electric. When you say aggresive, you can't say cheap. And by mentioning HK in your post, we all know where you really want to go. So I'm not surprised nobody else has replied to your request.

look at the TRex600 E or N. Also look at the Logo line. Most aggressive are the electrics right now but that aggressiveness only lasts about 5 minutes before the batteries start decaying. A nitro heli can deliver 90 to 95% of the electrics aggressiveness constantly for 8 to 12 minutes depending on set-up.

I believe the cheapest way for you would be to convert that Raptor to a 50, with either a 50Hyper or a 55. But I might be wrong. Of course we all know that aggressiveness also comes from good servos light paddles, good flying skills and a proper set-up. Throwing money at a bad set-up and bad skills will not make the helicopter aggressive.

What he said.

My current favorite in the 50 class is probably the JR Vibe 50 NEX but it aint cheap but the Trex's are a little lighter if you're talking nitro.

no no no no,
you want a trex 550 3G, paddles are so last year, why move one thing to move the blades when you can go servo blades, it has to be faster,
one thing is right and that's it's not cheap but I think the 550 3G is worth it and it's not as bad as think cos all you have to buy is your TX/RX and battery, and it's a lot cheaper than a trex 600E and lighter so it has a better power to weight,
what makes the 550 a real no brainier is it's battery's, as with all electric heli's you need battery's, I charge my battery's when I get home so I need a few. at the moment I'm running 5 but will go up to 7 soon,
that's a lot of £'s even for my 550,£410.00. that would be at lest %50 more £615 if I was to run a 600 and a 10S is more likely to have a cell fail than a 6S,
you can up grade all the parts if you want but a one make set up with all the parts you need ( expect RX) I don't think there's better,
well that's my penny's worth,

The new 600 has every bit of performance as the 550. The 600EFL is totally new and different than the old 600ESP.

Sometimes I wonder why people are so animate on telling other people that they need to buy a SPECIFIC type of helicopter. Makes me wonder sooo many things.... Specially when the thread starter already said he was looking at ANOTHER specific type of helicopter.

Have not flown the TZ line. Seen a Frenzy 50 fly at my field, and it looks great. One thing I noticed from the Frenzy is that it had a lot of parts that were very similar to Raptor parts and the owner and I wondered if Raptor Parts were interchangeable. Never got to try it.

What i was thinking was get a Frenzy, a 50 class flybarless head, good 3 Axis gyro... a lot cheaper than a Trex 3G NITRO. yea i know i should just spend the money on a great thing. we'll see if i have enough when i'm ready. i'm looking more towards flybarless though. whats a good 50 class flybarless? should i get a trex or a velocity if i wanted to actually get something great for once lol.

thanks everyone!!

I would say that TRex leads the way in the value department there. When you get a kit from them with all the goodies, it is hard to get a kit from somebody else and try to buy the components separately for the same price. Now, if you know what you want, you could go to the classifieds section here and other forums and get good used equipment at very affordable prices.
