Yeah I was just saying T-rex bc it flies better, not that you would not have the same or more costs associated with it. I have another recommendation. If you have all kinds of money and want to throw it away get another CP or CP Pro off of ebay, that way you can always have a bird in the air, no down time. You might find it interesting how different they are to each other without the "special" features. You will also learn to fly much betterer
.
I went CX to CP fairly easily, I did skim through Radd. I've only crashed twice in about a months time. I broke the skids and upgraded to Superskid, which btw is a great deal. Totally agree with you there. I also broke a spindle/set of blades.
If you want a parts list you can find em on here.
I recommend: (all parts approximate, or what I remember paying)
2-3 tail motor spares $6-10 each usually
crash kit *flybar/blades/skids/tailblade - about 15-20
Superskids - $30 from Superskids
spindle - $4
Main gear/shaft - $8
Maybe a main motor, but I've never had an isssue with mine. -$10
Total of about - $100
Optional:
Car fuses - get the super small ones 3amp for tail wires, 7.5 for main motor wires (find Scott@msn, the sarge
he's got some good docs
Dual Tail rotor - about $20 for tail piece and you'll need 2 tails motors plus some red/black wire
Powerzone board (only for CP not for Pro) - $30-40 will allow you to run a brushless motor off of your black motor wire you use now.
Castle creations 10 - ESC for brushless motor - $50
A decent brushless motor (look on these forums for model) (my next upgrade) You will need this if you are going to add all these parts to your bird weight-wise - $50
Spektrum DX6 (199 with rec/serv etc) or DX7 ($400??)
As you can see you can rig up the CP/CP Pro pretty good too, just like the CX. If you have money you can get a pretty good system, but then again you can get the trex for about 300-400 with a decent transmitter (why I listed in the optional area above, plus all you need for the blade is a receiver and you can use same transmitter) Just remember you break the upgrade parts you buy em, not me.
Try, say you? Drink or drink not, there is no try. Hiccup. - DY
