Status: offline 		man I hope it comes back soon, I really like flying that, not just cause its fun but it draws ALOT of attention

T-Rex 700? Uh-Oh, might have to cross to the darkside and get one of those, I just want the biggest heli I can buy, but if its too much I'll just buy another ES600

Status: offline 		i think t-rex 700 comes out this summer but it is nitro (the darkside),maybe align make a electric verssion,as of right now i think the biggest electric heli you can get is the maxi joker and it is not 3d heli,no 3d =no fun ,i`m sure you have seen this http://youtube.com/watch?v=21BjaB_8aS8

Status: offline 		oh no nitro for me, but damn that is one huge heli in that vid, maybe too big for me, that would be really scary to have something like that crash , but who knows in a few years I might have something like that, I don't plan on quitting this hobby so I have LOTS of time.

Status: offline 		it'd only cost me around $500 to build another ES600 if I didn't buy another battery, the cheapest way....

Frame and motor kit $200
4 servos (the ones I'm using) - $50
telebee gyro - $60
esc - $88
AR6200 - $80

But if I wanted to live on the edge I'd use one of the free AR6100e's that I'm suppose to get from the spektrum giveaway, and rob a telebee gyro from my HBK II that'd save me $140 so it'd cost me like $350, w00t, long live ESky , providing regular folks with a way to get into such a great hobby

I don't like the nitro part but that is one sick heli, I want their job (the pilots), not sure if the electric version was a fake vid, really hard to tell.

Status: offline 		so Nuttcaze are you saying you can build another es 600 100%rtf for under 1G? and i`m not talking about $999.95 , if thats the case i`m willing to prepay with paypal to have one, i have looked around and the only rtf es600 i could find was like $1300.00 and i dont think it comes with tx,the best kit i could find was the cf frame with all the metal upgrades(head and tail) and it comes with the motor for $450.00 but you still need servos,gyro,tx,rx,esc , batt. and blades,i`m sure that would bring the price way above 1G,i like to tinker with my helis but when i get them i want my helis to be 100% rtf ,just like from e-sky, take it out of the box and go fly (or crash ),i think what you are talking about is the all plastic version,hmmm i wouldn`t mind having one of them for the right price
