RE: Lets see those Trex pictures!
Most people put their ESC in the front. On the bottom. They put their batterys on the top mount and their recievers where my ESC is. I put it there so it i will have more air flow and not over heat.
The gyro mount is made by micro heli. There are other options though. I think this site has the best option http://clearly.wavelandps.com/

Here are pictures of my T-REX SA-ARF. I painted the canopy and fins. Also, you can see my home made training gear. Price under $3 bucks. Can't beat that with a stick. I went out today to fly, but only got one battery in. It was too cold for both me and the gyro

RE: Lets see those Trex pictures!
Here is my T-REX 450XL I got last week - It's a bit of a mongrel and got it 2nd hand but happy I finally got one... also an x400 I was given that still needs completeing..
* 450xl
* metal head upgrade but not the blade holders - The guy I bought it off kept them plastic as the "weakest link"
* Futaba gy401 gyro
* hitec optic 6 radio
* 25A esc but the guy did a neat job of mounting a small cpu fan onto the esc to keep it cool.
One problem is that it has jr nes371 servos with have higher mounting control arms and seem to hit the canopy - so the guy cut holes into the canopy to help the servos clear!
Anyone else had this problem ?

The metal blade grips give better tracking and it is noticably better, I look at it this way "If yor going to fly it into the ground it is going to break any way". Each to his own of course.

yeah, the Copter Rex mod looks much better. I am a sucker for blue parts though. They should make a green anodized version!
