The second one looks really cheap and the fact that it is on clearance should tell you something. I don't know why a person would buy either one of them when you can buy a Thunder Tiger E325 Mini Titan for $129.00.

If you have all of the radio, motor, ESC, Gyro, there is the MX450 at tower for $150, here. If want to put it together the Mini Titan is also a good choice. There are many of them out there. Look for what is stocked around you so parts are no problem to get.

I have the 450 on the way. Hard to pass up for the price.

Status: offline 		I'm not an expert on this but I do have a Mini Titian and love it. I am sure the MX450 is good also. As far as the electronics out of the Falcon you might be able to use some but I wouldn't get either one of these birds and throw sub par equipment in them or you might be right back where you started. I got mt MT with E-flite S75 servos in it and can't wait to get them changed out. On about the third or fourth gear surgery. I know you can get the MT ARF with the stock motor and ESC for about $240

Status: offline 		cactus,

Where can you get a mini-Titan for $129.00 ? I'm now seriously considering that one. I'm trying to put a spec sheet together.
