  • Raptor or nexus ?

    Ok gents,

    Would either of these Heli's be a good starting point - Raptor 30 or nexus 30 ?
    And which one ?

    Cheers,

    Hi Lawser
    I started with a Nexus and have soft spot for them, but after two crashes the parts started to get difficult to find so I bought a Raptor.
    I must admit that I found the Raptor easier to set up and fly and not so much slop in it as in the Nexus. Hope this helps.

      Hi
      Raptor wins hands down. Price and and parts price win.

      Raptors dont really need upgrades to go from basic to
      aerobatics either.

      Less play in the helicopter overall than the Nexus.

      easiyer to work on as well I belive.

      Raptor is more stable and can go from learning to fly
      to 3D where the Nexus will struggle to go into the heavy 3D.

      Plus if you want BLING you can BLING a Raptor out.

      oh and Raptors fly a treat.

        Hi Disc
        You are right about the Nexus not being 3D. I think the best you would get is roll or flip if you have speed and height.

            Don't touch the Nexus with a bargepole, if you do, you willl regret it 8O

            Why does it always persist down at weekends ?

              Nexus has given me some great fun, BUT, there is a huge amount of slop in the head! The parts are expensive and are now getting harder to find!
              Unfortunately I think it's had it's day. I learnt to Hover with it and gentle circuits, hopefully my knight will take me a bit further
              Note to self, Must Fly more
