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!!!!!
Absolutely. 2 years ago I bought 2100s at $85 a pop- whew! I still do pay a premium for the super-light batteries, but I'm paying for the weight reduction and I accept it. For general use, and general flying, the prices are great. I'm waiting for my Loong Max packs right now for the MX450  , which remains my favorite low-stress flier. The King 2 really responds to the lightweight batteries, though. There's a huge difference between a 180g pack and a 140g in that heli.
...and yes, the programmable heads make for a lot of tuning options. The one I have on my MT can even adjust the pitch input angle on the main grips, so you can dial d3 in or out to change the overall stability of the mains- sweet! That's the kind of thing that makes my propeller spin. My favorite next heli option is a V-bar logo that lets you twiddle all that in software- ultimate heli flight geekness  .
