  • Thinking of buying Trex 500

    Hi All,

    Have been offered trex 500 with 401, 9650 all servo x3 6c 2500 flightpower batteries, 610 thunderpower charger and scorpion motor, full set of spares for 800pounds, no radio.

    Just looking for advice on whether this is a good deal or not?

    thanks

    £800 seems very steep to me!!!

      You could buy that lot new for that price and have change.
      Too steep.
      I wouldn't pay more than £450-£500 tops.
      Lipos are probably knackered anyway.

        Wow, what a quick response, thanks for replies guys. Maybe i'll buy new then.
        So what would you recommend I buy in terms of options for the trex500, gyros, servos radio, batteries and charger etc. Already have a cx2 and phoenix sim but not too sure about CP helis.

        thanks

          The spec you were looking at isn't bad just overpriced.
          401/9257 on tail 9650 on cyclics
          and a scorpion motor upgrade would be good.
          Maybe on 5S instead of 6S
          Revolectrix battery from Mike at Aurrora and a cellpro 10S charger.
          If you want to spend a bit more then a Spartan DS760 on the tail instead of the 401.
          Hitecs are a bit cheaper and work well too on the cyclics.
          Radio has to be a Speccie DX7 with a 6200.

            I've heard a few europian guys say that they only use 8s's for 3d flying on a Trex500.......doesn't apply in this instance but is the correct.
            T3ds Gy240 S3153 with trex500 skids and trex500 fin set plus now with hybridized canopy and Mini Titan canopy body post set P# PV0816.........Now owned by MoJo have fun

                Give Rod a bell at Elite models, He just sorted me out with a simular spec for a lot less than that
                Got the super pro ver with all the metal upgrades + torque tube tail drive (includes the align digi cyclic servos)
                Align 750 gyro & 520 tail servo
                Plus 3x 6s 2500 lipos

                Make sure you speak to Rod and mention you are member of this forum.

                  8S is what you need to 3D the 600.
                  The 500 will 3D fine on 5S especially with the scorpion 1900kv motor.
                  It can be made to be well over powered on 6S, 8S would be geting a bit ridiculous thoough it may be possible to achieve a setup with good performance and an extended flight time that way (like the 6S 450 size outrage gets longer flights).
