Not sure what the second is smoking...

Noobflyer01, I think you'd have to email the seller to see if they will liet you buy it?

I don't have too many problems buying used, I bought my Futaba 9CH used for $180, and my GY-401 used for $95. There are plenty of people who get into and out of the hobby everyday to flood the market with great prices. It is a bit scary to start.

my queston with that ebay rex is how is it going to be shipped? its pre-built and ti doesn't list a heli case. seems kinda iffy to ship it in a box with packing peanuts. Great price though.



It looks like it ships in the original TREX 450SE box, which should be good enough. I got a Walkera 60b chassis that shipped in it's thin cardboard box and blister shell all the way from HK with no problem. With all the accessories, I'm sure the Ebay person will have to ship it in a bigger box, but you could ask.

Status: offline 		first ones not bad, your getting the rite idea though checking used. they can be had cheap.

problem with the first one is its probably a cheap 430l junk motor and bad esc plus those lipos are junk too. i see allot of plastic on it too. it has allot of good equipment but you should get all the sweet parts for 770 shipped. [should be a V2 at that price ta boot]

Haha, nice. I noticed it said he has put over $3200 into it. That's impressive. I guess that means he has crashed about, 50 times?

Status: offline 		i got a reply and SHE said that she bought from a hobby shop that ripped her off. she built it, but had them do the electronics on an hourly rate and it ended up being like $350 or something. She is hoping for 2500, but has it listed as an or best offer. If that is true, i actually feel sorry for her luck.
