If youir' buying this bird because it's a trex clone, be carefull.  I know the V2 is mostly a clone but when I looked at the pics of the V3, I see a lot of differences.

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

i wanna buy this bird because i don't have the money for the real T-rex and i don't have the skill to assemble it by my self...

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

Might be better off with the v2.

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

why do u think so?
and how about the electronics?

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

DONOT buy the RTF or the Rx ready. You will not find a worse example of electronics. There's a reason why they are so cheap. Instead, buy the kit and build it up yourself. You'll gain a wealth of needed knowledge and probably be a better pilot along the way.

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

Actually the CopterX is a very good version on the Trex and best copy. I agree,,, pass on the electronics though. Suspect at best. The heli as most are now adays will be 90-95% assembled.

The issue is the difference between V2 and V3. The pictures tell the story.

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

so u r saying the V2 is better? or should i buy something else for the same money?
and if the electronics is suspected what electronics should i use then, and stay in the 400$ area... with a tx/rx...

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

OK last time. The V3 is NOT a trex clone.Part fit will be a issue between the trex and the V3 copter.It is quite different.

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

Ok, but u didn't answer both of the questions...
if there is a better clone, tell me which.
and the other thing is about the electronics, i have no clue what is better and what is worst so i need a suggestion of a good motor, gyro, servos, tx/rx and any thing else i need there...

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

To clarify the SE V2 is a copy of the TrexSEv2. The CopterxproV3 is is a copy of the Trex pro series with torque tube or without... your choice. Parts will not be a problem...I have them in the store. I would choose the V3 because the frame set and head is a bit stronger designed and the servo mounts insure no interaction....As far as electronics here is a list I would choose from ( and have).. Trex450m motor, or older version of the 3770kv.or Scorpion 2221-8.. Esc I would use an Align 35x. with a 6v regulator.. (the blue heat sink). Hitec hs 65 servos, or Align 410 digitals. Spectrum radio system with a 6200 receiver. DX7 would be nice but the DX6I with 6200 combo would be perfect. A Futaba401 gyro, Futaba520 gyro (my choice) and a 9257 tail servo or 9650 servo or JR290 servo. If you use the 9257 you will need a step down regulator to 5.1v as it will only run on 5V. (about 6 bucks) The others will work fine on 6V. I would invest in a really good charger or chargers such as the FMA cellpro4,8 or 10. or the Hyperion brands in the 606 or 720.. Charge 2 at a time..... Most folks around here are using Zippy flight PRO 2200 MAH 3 CELL BATTERIES with great success. About a third of the price. from Hobby City.
I hope this helps,

Jim

For 425.00 dollars you can get a Trex 450 Sport Combo.....from what Ihave heard it comes with pretty decent electronics. Just a thought...

RE: CopterX CX 450PRO V3 Belt Version 2.4GHz RTF
 

I have the trex450 sport combo. no complaints with the electronics, BUT, it does not come with a radio or reciever. I paid about 400 and change for a dx7SE and 7600. you could also use a DX6/rx, such as dooley suggested, still going to be 200$. you'll also need to provide charger and batteries, probably another 60-100$ atleast.

To be honest. The electronic items in the copterX RTF kit are sure not the best..... It really depend if you are like to do normal flights it will do the job. But if you are looking for ultra 3D do not use the copterX electronics..... As far as parts goes as the copterX pro v3 is an earlier clone of the trex pro. So the parts are different than current model. The latest one will be the copterX Pro V5 DFC which is a align PRO DFC clone.
