Mostly cheap. Align motor and ESC are pretty good, but everything else is only so-so. The servos especially i'd stay away from. Servos are not something you wanna go cheap on. Gyro is passable, but if you want solid holding power with a higher level of temperature resistance, a Futaba gyro may be a better bet.

credence gives good advice.
I would add to that by stressing more the importance of a good head hold gyro.
I would also wonder if 12c 1800's are enough. Thunderpower 2100's are more popular.

Now, just a note. I do like that motor. I have a Mega 16/15/3 motor that gets very hot after a flight. My brother just got a T-Rex SE with the Align 430lf. It was barely warm after running 3 packs through. 89 degrees F. I have not had a chance to compare power capacity, since I did not want to wring out my brother's brand new heli, butI believe that I am going to get a 430lf for my Rexie and put the Mega motor in one of my planes.

I've got a 430LF here which will be finding a home in an X400 in a few days, 3500KV version, and though I have admittedly limited experience with 400 size brushless motors (i mess around more with 500/600 dealies), this thing seems incredibly powerful for something so small, and you just can't beat the price of it. Im really looking forward to seeing what it can do in the X400.
