Kyosho nexus, any good?

[jakegazzard]

I am wanting to get a nexus, is it any good?

[Rotorhead]

By todays standards, poor, very poor, especially the wire driven tail, which winds up under load and can cause problems with modern high response gyros.

You'll be able to learn on it, and it will do basic aerobatics, but thats about it.

The main problem you will face with it is reliability and spares availablility.

[Supercaptaincrash]

spares availability is very poor as mentioned above!it would get you through the basics but would either have to be very very cheap or free!

No, no, no and no. My story, impulse buy, oh my God what a pile, ooh a Sceadu, nah mate it's never flown but make sure you leave me good feedback. Seriously leave well alone. Don't waste your hard earned on something that you can't get spares or help for. Buy a 600 sport from AVA hobbies and enjoy the hobby.

DONT bother if it is free it is still to dear had to be the worst model kyosho ever brought to the retail market clutch, head all clapped out in record time i hate them with vengence ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at the Align range, there will be something in the size/price range for you!
A trex 600 would be good for learning but more expensive as a smaller 450 to buy, setup, and repair, but on the + side a lot more stable and easier to fly/see.

1 you like the look of, and want, bar the nexus

i dont own 1 but the trex 600's are suposed to be good, i have a knight 3d myself

theres alot to choose from, depending on you budget!

Wont go wrong with any of the Align stuff or grab yourself the new raptor 50 3D which is also a good solid every day flyer (exactly what you need as a beginner)
Personally id stay clear of any of the kyosho stuff myself. Even there new models. The new helis are a pain in the ass for spares also.

[waveydavey]

Agree with the Raptor. Went the Compass route myself and had nothing but trouble with it and ended up with a 600 sport. Should have done it earlier

the best to buy at the moment is the vision 50 comp, its £225 with a free painted canopy

I take it that you are starting out in this hobby..

Main question to you should really be what your 'maximum' budget is going to be.

[jakegazzard]

Hi guys my budget is £200, my dad has bid on this rappy Raptor 30 Radio Controled Helicopter on eBay (end time 22-Nov-09 20:43:27 GMT)

Wish you luck in the Auction. If you manage to get this for £200 will be a bargain, but feel to get this heli with all the equipment and sim, you may have to stretch the budget a little more. It looks a good starter package anyway.

Good Luck.
