Ok here is one for you, lets see who can beat this, I am not at home so I don't have the part numbers or the places, but the cheapest I've pieced a trex together for was 515 dollars for everything, using separates, I didn't understand the 3 in ones and 4 in ones that well at the time, it seemed to me they couldn't handle the current for the 400 size motors, so I went with separates, mostly GWS stuff. Can someone give me parts, locations and prices and piece the cheapest of the showgun, trex, etc. together. This is sort of a challenge. If you can get the price down to like 400 or just under 400 I will buy one of those, without a blink. This price includes lithium polymer battery and charger. I mean RTF price, not ARF. I think this will benefit everyone in the long run. We can all piece together the cheapest stuff (that works well) and others can get into the hobby at lower cost. Remember the more you buy from one place the cheaper the shipping, so if every piece is from a new location it may end up being more...Large places like Towerhobby may charge a couple bucks more but you save 5 on shipping if you know what I mean. Just to give you an idea, I used 15 dollar servos, and the cheap 6 channel futaba radio that Tower sells for 99 bucks. I forget what gyro (gws I think) reciever, and esc I used but I picked a 1500mah 3 cell li poly batter, and I used a dc field charger that I was going to splice and ac to dc converter onto.


Jamesotron- I asked earlier, why the expensive radio gear??
