Dear all,
I am new in RC heli and i am targeting Align Trex 500 and want to upgrade their servos and batteries. Do you guys have any suggestions and where i can find a good combodeal online.
thanks,
Sunny

If you are new there will be absolutely nothing wrong with going with the Align branded servos that come in the super combo. I wouldnt waste money on upgrading that until you are ready for 3D, and even then the stock servos would probably suffice unless your skills are PRO level.

If I were you, I would spend that money on spare parts..or even rebuild kits for the stock servos or at the very least to buy extra packs, which even cheap packs arent that cheap.

I dont know what battery comes with the super combo (5 or 6 cells) but I run my 500 with Blue Lipo brand (cheap) 5 cells and it performs fine for my skill level. I have heard of people running their 500's on 6 cells...but like I said...at my skill level 5 cells give me plenty of power to do the flying that I do. Plus I run 4000mah packs which give me a really good flight time compared to a smaller mah 6 cell pack I would assume.

i have no good idea, but you can search it on these big online shop, such as amazon, eBay etc, in there must have many choices.

6S is the way to go... You can tame down the headspeed by using a smaller pinion (11 tooth) on the motor. 6s will also be more efficient as it will take less amps to make the same power (P = V*I). I flew 6s 2650s in my original trex 500 and could routinely get 6-7 minute flights.I get some help from ******** and get my heli from here i think this will help you.

Yeah, I know a lot of people use 6 cells on their 500's. But I have no issues with mine on 5 for my skill level (only been flying helis now for 2 years). And by using 5s4000mah packs...I can get 10 minute flights all day long and if I wanted to go all the way to LVC, I could go somewhere around 12 minutes. I set my timer for 10minutes and my packs usually read around 3.6 VPC when I land.

If you are beginner you must start with a small ,simple heli.However you can start with Carbon Single Blade RCHelicopter.If you are beginner and want to learn how to fly a single blade helicopter then this is a goodchoice.Hope it is best for you.
