RE: My wicked Trex
Ive done some changes.
Of course loosed up the tail belt a little. That pic was taken in the middle of install, where it was REALLY tight. I run mine a little loose too. Keeps em from snapping.
I repainted the canopy, I liked the skull thing, but it just wasnt vivid enough in the sky. So I removed the yellow strip at the top, and reshot the canopy in some brighter colors. The Skulls are now ghosted into the sapphire blue metal flake, with some yellow highlights for visability. Third time is the charm right???? LOL
The reciever is a Hitec 8ch rx mounted in the front underneath the slanted battery tray.
I cut the black heatshrink off the ESC, and re-did it with blue to match the rest of the heli.
Here are the new pics, and there is also a pic showing how I mounted everything.
Video coming soon....

RE: My wicked Trex
Here is some video of me playing with my new toy in the front yard. Tight figure 8's in the street, buzzing the camera by millimeters, and some low fast flyby's. Just general goofing off.
