T-rex 600e
It has a new set of blades
an alloy rear gear box
full set of spektrum servos
a 6cell bat pack
Its all ready to go apart from a receiver

Mint condition

Whats it worth roughly ?

Based on what I sold mine for recently maybe £300 / £350. I sold my Carbon framed version with futaba 3152's, torque tube conversion, decent blades and a bunch or spares for £350.

How old is it and whats the buyer asking for it? Does it have a gyro?

If thats in Mint condition then I think £300 or there abouts is fair. You will want to replace the spekrum servos and the blades are a consumable item lol but otherwise with the lipo if its ok then it looks like a decent buy.

I'd say that's about the going rate.

I paid 330 for mine. Came with 3152's, stock motor/ESC, blades and two batteries. No gyro, rudder servo or rx.

I'll be on the lookout for a second one soon for another scale project.

Okay so found out this has a new Logitec t2001 gyro and secktrum digital servos all round.

its the alloy frame, belt driven with the alloy rear gearbox.

5000mah battery

all that is required is reciever (which i have)

Yeah - 300 sheets or thereabouts should cover it...

New kits start at £300ish ?
Servos £100
Gyro £100
Batterys £100 +

Mader.

Generally, as a rule. Take the new value and half it. Mine went for £350 and had far more appropriate servos in it, a 5000mah battery and was carbon framed with the full on tail conversion for £350.

It took a wee while to sell too, if the seller ain't keen on letting it go for a reasonable price then walk away as there's so much for sale just now you're spoilt for choice.

I got my Logo 500 3d (new kit in the shops £300 odd quid), A Jive HV esc (£250 new), An outrage 5000mah 6s batt (£175 new) and a Scorpion Motor / Maniac Blades and a heap of spares and payed £500 for it all. So use that as a rough guide to what you should be willing to pay.

It obviously depends on condition, so will have to look but the seller is looking for £300-£400 for the heli.

Im not fussed on the torque tube as i will end up stripping gears with my more enthusiastic landings.

Im not fussed on top notch servos etc as they are something that you upgrade as you go.

I just want something i can fly straight away without the hassle of building it up and all the other faffing about.

i can get two 5000mah batteries for £200 direct from HK so any saving on the heli means more bats for me

Offer him 300 for it then...

Like I said, it's the perfect time to be a bit cheeky in negotiating a price to suit. If he's saying 3 to 4 hundred then he's already told you what he's willing to accept for it so go in as low as you dare and work from there.
