      My rex has the SE V1 blue alloy Align genuine parts head which I upgraded from it's original plastic Rota assembly, now I have a carbon balance bar. Align Carbon Paddles, and Align's Steel/carbon main shaft, and not only does it look a thing of beauty, its as taught as a virgins honey pot, not any slop in the slightest.

      Plus all the other upgrades I've added she's a completely different machine to the one I origionally purchased, and I haven't finished yet.

      My point as Lee said you get what you pay for, but this isn't saying all cheaper helis are bad, it's a case of knowing what to buy, hense where this place come in.

        Appearances are very perceptive mate It looks all good and nice and shiney that purple metal doesnt it? In reality its cheap soft metal unfortunately. Oh and i forgot to mention the parts/spares factor. The 3 helis i have recommended are far easier to get parts for up and down the country. There will only be a few places in the country that do the Belt CP stuff. I know Matty always gets his stuff from Hong Kong.

        Cheers

                    Why do you think you'd upset Trex users I believe I did mention this machine as a good buy in my first post.

                        no not an out of the box job it needs some assembly and radio gear.

                        if you want out of the box look at the blade 400.radio included.. if you click on my movie gallery you will see what it can do with nothing but a charged lipo!
