Understand- that was why I made the comment. There are a billion scale bodies out there for the TR. I hadn't thought about the impact of the 425 helis on the 325 segment, actually- I wonder if it will drive the prices down in these. I'm not sure- there are a lot of choices in the sub-$200 range, so that pretty well puts a basement on the segment. Helis like the King probably serves to support 325 prices, too, I expect.

hehe. 3d pilots. hehe.

Ya know,when ya think about it,this is a very exciting time for rc helis.Look at all the electronic gizmos available,the sophisticated radios,multi blade rotor system etc.WOW.............blows my mind.To our advantage is the older technology like the 450's so readily adapt to the "billion scale bodies out there".Oh hell yeah,homey can do this For you guys that fly fast and take chances....programable main rotor systems to go from mild to wild to OMG !!!!! As for prices,I do see them coming down.If from anything else,the shear competition of all the quality manufacturers,AND Korea has entered the market too.Gimme a hell yeah

I remember a couple years ago, 2200mAh 20C batteries were close to the $100 per unit price range. There are idiots out there still charging $60-$80 for them. The 450 class needs minimal 2200mAh 20C's to fly decient. I bought five of them at a cost of $32per unit shipped to my door, and I've been flying the poop out of all of them in my MX-400, they work great, don't get hot, have ample power for the 400 sized heli...it's great. Affordability in the 450 market has arrived and I think largely in part due to competetion and the introduction of 500/600 class helis, and the massive 4-6S batteries they use (like flying a heli with a half of a brick strapped to it).

Oh hell yeah........450's!!!!!

I always take one nut off, place it on the new shaft, then slide the new feathering shaft in to the side i took off pushing the old shaft out to keep everything in order, then slide the other grip and bearings on to the new shaft as i comes out the other side. Then you just have to finish sliding the remaining bearings onto the new shaft with some needle nose or screwdriver and never have to take anything totally apart. Kind of like pulling out the table cloth without taking the dishes off the table. When tightening the second nut on I always tighten it to a nice snug then loosen in a hair so everything is forced into place. If you have trouble getting them even when tightening them, Tighten one down to where you need it, then gingerly hold the threads on the side that is in the right position with needle nose and 5.5 the other side until you get the desired tightness.
