Status: offline 		Looks like im putting the wife and kids on ebay. OOPS...............Did I say that?

That is one bad a** heli. I will get one soon, he he he.

I saw it compete at the XFC this year and it is no joke. It can do any 3D move you throw at it for sure.

Im sure that someone is going to make a cheaper Li-Po pack for it. The guys at XFC we not using ALIGN Li-Po packs.

Smooth flying bird.

Status: offline 		Big wallet? Hell no, I'm gonna have to sell my eco-8 plus a bunch of my archery stuff just to afford the t-rex 600 . And the rex 600 is one of the cheapest large electrics currently on the market. You can have a nice setup, everything included, for about $1500, that's a hell of a bargain for an electric chopper of that size.

Make no mistake, the T-rex 600 is gonna be the bird that brings the push in this part of the hobby from nitro to electric. It's now a viable alternative to a nitro ship and it's in the same price region, for, in most cases, better performance.

Dunno, has anyone even seen one of these yet? If TT doesn't get on the ball, they'll lose out to Align.

Gotta get while the gettin' is good, or it'll be too late to achieve market majority as they have with the Raptor.

Status: offline 		Sounds like Align is doing exactly what Bill Gates did with Microsoft.

If the other vendors don't get on-board and offer bigger, better and less expensive they will be just like Mac, IBM and a host of other corporations. You don't see a ton of software out there for the Mac, but a ton of Microsoft. Microsoft is world wide.

Credence,
You'll have a 600 in less than 3 months, betcha.

Haha, more right than you know! I should have one in about 2 weeks. Got the CF version too .

I took the plunge... I hope my credit card forgives me. Now I need to sell off a bunch of stuff to make the blow not so hard..
Maybe I can resort to selling my body... Any takers?!


The worst part is, that's just the helicopter with the motor and ESC and BEC. I still need the servos, receiver, battery, gyro..ahh.. Better not think about it or i'll cry. Atleast I can get the batteries cheap through my supplier. Now that I think of it, it's really not much more than what i've got invested in my eco. We shall see how it goes .


I'll post a build thread here for you guys when I get the bird and let you all know how it goes together. I can't wait!

Status: offline 		as far as I know there is nothing bad wrong with the trex-600. I appears to be a fantastic eHeli of good size. Much easier to fly than the trex 450 as it is not as nimble, it is easier to see and a lot more stable. (just figuring that it flys alot like my logo10 and eRaptor) I don't need a 50 size eheli so I can wait (knock on plastic) until the eRaptor comes to market. They should be around late in 2006. They are already being demonstrated worldwide... The good news for guys like me that already have a Raptor, Most of the Parts will interchange such as the tail boom and main rotor head setup. The frames will be different for sure as the motor mounts on top just behind the main shaft. I think both helicoptors will be very close in performance.
