RE: good deal? For a trex600?
helihobby does have some pretty good deals. I've been buying there on and off for the last year or so with no real complaints. They can be a bit slower when it comes to shipping than some of the others but still worth it for some of the savings.
used isn't a bad way to go and you might want to think about that option, some of the best deals can be had if you join a club and meet some members or spend some time on the forums. Also a good way to get help as a beginner. I just bought a brand new pro 600n from a club member for 700 bucks. It was rx ready, 3 x 9252s on the cyclic, 9254 and gy 401 on the tail, brand new ys50, 2000mah nimh pack, sab carbons, whole thing had maybe a gallon on it. Love the way it flies....feels much lighter and snappier out of the box than the Raptor Titan I've been flying.
