Trex 450 Pro

Is there anyway to buy this Fast Lad Performance without the motor and esc?
While I'm not at the stage of buying just wondered if there was just a kit version that had everything bar the motor, esc, rx, servos and gyros.

buy a beam e4

See Beam do a kit with a Scorpion motor, which is what I'd probably end up getting for a Trex.

Nothing wrong with the 450 Pro motor and esc

Not saying there isn't but would be nice if there was a kit only package.

You really want the 430M motor not the 430SP.

My heli has the SP and its fine, but the M variant is supposed to be better (more power and cooler running)

Sometimes people sell the airframe second hand without the electrics.
But I dont think there is anything wrong with the align ESC or motor, especially if your not a top pilot.

Not seen mention of one...

Holst the kit comes with the SP motor. Secondly I wasn't looking at buying one for a while, not until I have atleast got the use out of the Blade400 and atleast achieved something other than crashing

The later kits will come with the M motor.
If your waiting a bit then you will get an updated kit, or just keep an eye out for a good second hand kit.

Oh....

And you will keep crashing even when you have acheived something :P

hehe

Lol I know. The poor little MSR is getting a hammering and just broke my second set of skids. Well they didn't full snap but I could see a vibration occuring in the skids and investigated and saw a hairline fracture at the studs. So went to homebase and got myself some plastic epoxy. All of my skids are now epoxied at the studs for extra strength.

Update: just snapped an MSR blade grips. Guess it was going to happen as I glued them together and this causes them to snap instead of just breaking apart as they usually do. However I'd rather not lose my feathering shaft.

Going OTT but after I replaced the blade grips. I took the MSR for a flight around the lounge. Brought it down into the sofa for a crash landing and then went to go start her up again and both motors weren't working but servos were. I went into the kitchen shaking head and cursing the thing while I cleaned up the dishes. Halfway into the dishes the old lightbulb illuminates and I rush back to check the throttle hold on the TX. ON!
