Status: offline 		Hi All,

I'm ready for a T-rex after crashing my Night ranger 3d several times and now feel like I want to spend more dough. Anyways looking for a really good deal on a T-Rex XL CCPM with motor and ECS. I like the BLING of the SE but I can just barley do forward flight. I'm a master of hovering. If anyone knows where to find a great deal let me know. Your help is always appreciated

1-2 days from hong kong It takes that long minimum to get through customs. Then Fed Ex will send the recipient a bill for customs fees.

That's what I thought too...but thru first hand experiencem that's how long it took for me to get my Trex (2 business days from Hong Kong, and If I didn't live in the sticks it probably would have taken one day).

Here is a list of reputable vendors:

MTA Hobbies in Torrence, CA.

He is reasonably priced and semi-local for you. You won't have to pay California Taxes and shipping (and time) is reasonable. Besides, you can get to know him if you attend many of the So.Cal / AZ / NV events.

He highly recommended my 450SE to me at the AMA Show and I am eternally grateful. Give him a call. He'll be there when you need him. Tell him I sent ya. Don't know if that will help at all but it will put a smile on his face cause he knows how much I love my T Rex.

Helihobby has about the best selection, and the best website of them all, but only offering US mail as a shipping service.......that's something they need to work on I think. They have competitive prices too.

If you want GREAT customer service, I would highly recomend him! He ships everything quickly and is willing to answer any question you may have (via e-mail). I'm pretty sure I will do business with him for all my needs! I believe he is a small business dealing in mostly T-Rex stuff and I'm a firm believer in purchasing from smaller businesses.
