Any reviews on the msh brain?

[sunny_manku1985]

Hi guys, have been looking at a Fbl unit for a trex 500 dfc I was thinking of buying, and wondering what people think on the msh brain? Has the new firmware made any difference? Does the bail out feature work? Is it easy to setup?
pany input would be great :-)

Any reviews on the msh brain?

I've heard mixed things about it to be honest. The people I know who have tried it moved their units on sharpish. They very may well have improved things by now though.

Have a listen to last weeks rctoday show podcast, they were talking about it on there

look out for reviews on the new Ikon too, its just a rebranded Brain

I also know a few people that bought them and sold them on pretty sharpish....

You should add this to Jamins joke thread, very funny though.

Ive got a brain in my 600n fbl, Its miles better than the beastx, cyclic is much more natural, fff its rock solid on rails and feels normal in an auto, The tail is brilliant and the newst firmware makes setup alot easier with info messeges on most advanced settings. The built in gov also works great with an align sensor, id reccomened the brain to anyone out there!!!!!

I would say that this is certainly not the case. I have yet to read ANY decent reports about the brain tbh. I cant see how anyone would consider it as good as the Vbar. We would have heard and seen a lot more of it if this was the case

There you go, a satisfied customer. Would you consider it a strong alternative to a beast then? Or a vbar rival?

It beats the bx hands down im afraid!!!! And it has been said a strong rival of the vbar but ive never actually flown a vbar so cant comment on that, but it flys amzingly well

well done chris thats awsome feed back its little reviews like yours that can realy count. i like the sound of the rock solid feel of vbar but its expensive (but if thats what it takes) but then i love extreme fast farward flight and i hear bx is the 1 for that and brain gives you both from what i can make out from what ive read so ive chosen brain at half the price of vbar

I have one on my 250DFC and have had no issues with it. Setup is nice and simple with the pc software and you get bank switching at 2/3 the price of the vbar. Fair enough it's not as polished as the vbar but it works well. I think most shifted them on due to the issues with the self levelling feature, it's defo not plug an play in this respect. You need to flip the switch, check which way it pulls and then trim this out in the software. Firmware upgrades are a PITA as most of the time you need to reset the unit by shorting out two of the pins while plugging the power source in. Not to tricky when the unit is not mounted on the heli but you need 5 pairs of hands to get it to work first time when it is mounted. Do yourself a favour, update the firmware before you mount it. Don't forget that the usb lead plugs into the front of the unit so you will need to think about how you are going to mount it on the 500. I would mount it with the servo plugs facing forward so you get clear access to the usb port.
