That eco is a beauitiful machine there. Just all the aluminum upgrades by them selves are almost worth $400. I've already spent more than $700 on my eco and I don't have all those pretty upgrades!


With that power setup and those upgrades, that would be an extremely capable machine. You could even open it up more by spending $80 on the eco-8 to eco-16 conversion kit and really watch that baby smoke!

If you've got the money, that would be a great way to go. Bear in mind that crashing that helicopter will cost you more than say a t-rex or x-400 would. But becuase it's about twice the size of the previous mentioned helicopters, it's also much more stable and easier to learn on, and probably more capable in the 3D realm with a good LIPO pack.
