I'm also coming from the world of Traxxas trucks (Stampede, E-Revo) and I have a CX2. I got it for Christmas last year but I haven't flown it much at all. I hear great things about it but the learning curve is a little steep for me as I've had more than my fair share of crashes. I've read that the Blade MCX is a great 1st chopper too and a bit cheaper than the CX2. It shares many of the same features.
Ya thx for the reply. I did a little reading about the MCX and what really gets me is 3 things, it doesn't hasve the aluminum parts, its much smaller (IMO, a little to small), and it doesn't have as good of a radio. But hey, IDK, maybe it is a better trainer. I've actually seen then flying the CX2 up at the LHS so I konw the size and such.
