Whats the best 450 size heli at the moment

[james_2k]

and that sounds like the voice of experience lol

just mean that there isnt a 'best' in all categories. price, durability, flying ability, potential power, fixability, part cost, or looks

I've had the 450L and got the Goblin 380. 380 hands down IMO, just floats so well

Our American cousins across the pond tend to compare the G380 with the Gaui x3 taking them to be the best in class. Not having flown either I'd probably throw the Chase 360 and Trex 450l in the mix. If it was my choice I'd have the Goblin cause I like how they fly and presence they have in the air. I also can't stomach the way the chase looks and have my doubts about parts reliability of the gaui in this country, though it may be wrong. I'd happily have a trex 450l I almost bought one in the summer and was impressed by the improvements in design over the 450 pro and the increased rigidity of the frame, I would however prefer the G380 as it's belt driven, quieter and not prone to gear breakages like the 450l.

Gaui X3 parts are everywhere.

Align-trex, Fast Lad, Midland, all stock parts, and if they don't have what your need, hawk-rc.com can get you what you need in about a week with cheapest postage.

Gaui make epic helicopters. It's just a shame the rest of the range is so damn expensive.

I had a little smile then, every time I read Jimmy Two Bobs dogmatic posts, It reminds me of back peddling my first bicycle as a child
