T-Rex 600, That's My Final Answer!!

[AGW]

OK! It's here!!

I picked up my 600 on Saturday I only have the Helli at the moment, radio and everything else to follow on Tuesday! Thats not stopped me getting it built though pictures to follow soon!

The kit was really easy to put together, no problems at all! Yet! All ball links fit fine, the quality is fantastic..!!

Had a few things I wasn't sure about, but nothing Martins web site (www.ukheli.com) couldn't answer, so thanks to Martin for a very informative web site.

Now I just have to wait until Tuesday so I can get it completely finished!

One thing I did get in my kit was a printed notice from Robbe UK saying you can't mount the ESC with cable ties as will void the warranty you can only use double sided tape the factory seal on the box was not broken and the notice was inside the instruction manual so it must have put in when the kit was boxed...

Nice one Andy, you'll be hooked on this heli I can guarentee it

Bet it was sweet to build

And yeh, Align know which distributor each box is going to and Robbe would have asked for it

[MartinM]

Must cut that tie off...... Thanks for that, I will add that to the web site !! See AGW your helping me now !!

Bought the head button for mine, finishes the head off and usefull too, Photo heading for the web site tomorrow.

Should have it be the end of the week - can't wait.

[MartinM]

Good Boy !! You will like it for sure !! If you need any help or find anything you would like me to add to the web site let me know !!

I think I will get one in the end but I'll wait for gen 2

[tws]

That was my plan too, but sold my plank and had a little spare in PayPal - couldn't help it

[Smoothound]

From SMC or elsewhere?

[tws]

elsewhere, have to confess I do import the odd thing or two from OAIRC, plus I've not seen them here yet.

[Smoothound]

Cheaper at least.


SMC had 2 kits the other day but I think that brings their grand total so far to 3

[tws]

very cheap - the 6s/4400 Align LiPo waS $160 and at an exchange rate of 1.855 I'd be nuts to buy it all from the UK

[Smoothound]

Who did you use? Helikraft?

[tws]

No helikraft put their prices up so not so much of a good deal any more.

I use oairc, but their site is rubbish, they have loads of stuff not listed, best to email if you can't find what you are after as they normally have it in stock.

[Smoothound]

You're right site doesn't even list the 600

[tws]

they'll do a good deal on engines too - sod all use to you though

I can feel virtuous as I buy all my plank stuff from UK retailers - SMC have had a bloody fortune from me this year.
