Solo, Im right there with you. Sat Night I modified my upper grips to be like yours. Put it up and had such bad tbe it crashed almost instantly and took out all 4 blades even they they swung out of the way. I havent put new blades on yet. I have been searching for the xtreme mods. I think I want to outfit the whole thing. Boom, skids, grips, motors, head and even the led flybar. If there is a better heli that I can learn to fly without spending tons of money right away Please let me know. I want a trex600 but that wont happen becuase of funds until this next spring at least. Anyway, just want you to know Im there with you. I would almost be glad to strip the heli of its electronics and put them in something that was worth it. Im not saying its not total junk but the parts are and you have to keep buying. I hate that. Cant ever get ahead and save for me next heli or even a new radio.
Anyway. Let me know what you come up with. I think the xtreme stuff is the way to go but I could be full of hot air too.
