Could someone identify what I actually have
I bought this Trex last year, it has been set up and dialed in for me by an instructor. I have been hovering it with the training gear on it and that is it. It has never even had a scrape.
I'm thinking of posting it for sale but I couldn't even tell anyone which model it is. Can anyone identify what it is for me and then give me a guestimate as to how much I should ask for it.
Thanks in advance guys.

It's a T-Rex 450XL (CDE). For the barebone heli about $100 without electronics. I don't know what electronics you have, can't really tell from the picture. Of course it would sell for more with electronics. Keep in mind the 450SA is $230 with Align 430L motor and Align 35A ESC. So your would have to be south of that, since it's an older model.

Depends on how quickly you want it sold. With everything except radio gear, I would say $325 quick sell, you could probably eek out $375 if you were not in a rush. Keep in mind this is a guesstimate since I don't know the quality of the heli for myself.

I've seen the 450SE sell with the same components for $450 so you'd be lucky to get over $350 for it. Sorry, good luck though.

the SE is full metal head and tail with a carbon fiber body. the newest version right now is the SE V2 so alot of SE's have been showing up online. A new SE will cost around $700 with all the components you've listed so when ppl see them for $400 they snap them up.
I have an XL as well and got it with motor/esc and servos for $180 and that was new. I added a gyro for $80 and it's ready to fly for $260 new. They aren't the best components, not as good as what you have on yours but it was all new. I'd say plan for between $275 and $325.

TheEdge...Depends greatly on your skill level. If you are into 3D and beyond FFF figure 8s, you will feel the difference.
