Which heli for these electrics

[bill rob]

I have a trex 500l coming this week so I decided to strip the tart 500 for spares,its mostly align anyway, so Im looking at buying a kit,and I fancy a trex 550 or a logo 550sx,,or a 480 depending on whether the bits I have are suitable for a 550.
The bits are-
3x Turnigy 930
1x Align DS 520
Castle phoenix 125
4max ubec
Align 500 motor

My batteries are Turnigy 3000mah

Any suggestions are welcome,,as long as they are clean and on topic

trex 550 will need standard cyclic and tail servos , you will need a bigger motor align 600 motor and think batteries 4500-5500mah are more suitable for a 550 heli

The bits you have would prob better suit a 480 not sure that motor would fit in there though, 550SX also requires standard servos plus a specific motor that one definitely will not fit

I was thinking the 480 too,looks like if I want a bigger heli I`ll have to go second hand,,cheers for the advice

The batteries would work in most 600 size helis (two of then for 12s), and the 125A ESC would be good for a 550 (6s power). But other than that the components aren't going to be any use for anything much bigger than another 425mm blade 500.

The motor will fit the 480 xxtreme but the Kv will be out and the shaft diameter may be too small. The combo Scorpion motor is 1070Kv where the 500MX is 1600Kv plus the pinions take a 5mm shaft. Not sure but I think the 500MX shaft diameter is slightly smaller.

a pole

all 3 will work together well
