550 Compatible?

31-10-2009, 07:55 PM

Are there any parts recommended, or inter-changeable for the GAUI 550?

I've seen the finless bob video's about using raptor links etc, but would like to know if any other parts from TREX, Raptors etc are compatible?

Canopies too?

Help appreciated :cheers2:

I have found the raptor links to be a lot better than the Gaui originals and have only seen one other 550 and that was fitted with full TREX 500 electronics, including the gyro, motor and esc off a 500. Our birds seem few and far between and I think this may have come about because early versions gained some bad press for poor quality. The Heli instructor at my club is a Raptor and Trex man and totally rubbished mine until he tried it and found out how stable it was and now he is something of a convert as he has a Gaui 200 and loves it.

Have fun and look forward to reading the other replies to your post.
