T-Rex 450 se v2 package, is this a good deal?

[robgt]

The LiPo should be ok - I don't have experience of that LiPo so can't really comment on it (perhaps someone who has used one will chime in?)

Governor mode on the ESC acts as a governor to maintain a constant headspeed. The one built into the Align ESC is a bit hit and miss. Some people get lucky with it and have great success in getting it working well. Others get a consistent tail wag due to it "hunting" and have to turn it off. They then use normal throttle curves instead to try and maintain a constant headspeed that way.

Lucas, that new deal looks good but as has already been said, dump the charge and go for the cellpro4s(£54 I think) if poss.

Anyways nearly got to the £600, so whens it arrive

got it today and bulding it i let you guys know how i get on

[LUcas]

Hello guys. Im stuck I cannot work out how to put the tail boom on the tail.... i mean I unscrewed the screw that is on the the tail boom then slided the boom on the tail but how far do i do this?

When i slide the other side of the tail in the heli the belt does not seem to get anywhere near the drive train that it needs to be on.... what is goin on, I cant work it out...

[robgt]

Normally, you have to push the tailboom into the main frames quite a way to allow the belt to be pulled over the pulley. Once it's over the pulley, you pull the boom back out again to tension the belt - make sure you don't over tighten the belt though. You should be able to touch the sides of the belt together with use of a small amount of force (it should feel a little tight when you test this, but not too tight that you can;t push the sides together). Not too loose and not too tight.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi LUcas. I'm battling to understand what you mean. I've just built my 450SE and I don't remember a tail boom issue that appeared confusing. Perhaps some pictures from you would help?

[LUcas]

dont worry that problem is sorted got another one now

I have 3 hitec hs-56hb servos and none match up with the frames holes! what the hell? angry and confused i dont want to start drilling holes... any ideas anyone?

[LipolyGone]

You wont be able to do it without drilling holes Lucas.
The hs56 has only got 1 hole to secure it to the servo mounts.
You will need to drill through this hole with a very small 1mm drill or a sharp piece of thin piano wire to mount the hs56 to the servo mount with the required rubber gromet & brass bush which sits underneath the servo. The flat end of the brass bush goes in to the grommet from underneath i.e the case side & not from the servo horn side, hope that makes sence.

[LUcas]

what about the third servo the one at the rear(not the tail servo) coz you have to put that servo the other way into the frame compared to the other two servos at the front?


also rear blades should they flop down?

[LUcas]

can someone please post me a picture of your 450 se v2. I need a pic of the rear servo for the rudder...

Check out this thread - I asked the same question and got several pictures in response - post nr 7 was the best source of help:
