Outrage Velocity .50 or 600LE?

[Lynx.1677]

Ok, I am down to 2 choices (finally as my list was huge).

So, I have had 600's before and know how they go together, parts available everywhere and relatively cheap.

Really want to try something other than Align but if I am honest everytime I have tried other's I am left dissapointed and wishing I had just stuck with Align. Sure they are not the 'ultimate' heli's but they are most things to most people and work (most of the time).

I really fancy an outrage .50 with 55HZ in but what issues are there out there and what do I need to do different than the Align stuff (if anything?).

How do owners find spares availability for the outrage?

Outrage all day long!

You can only get Velo 50 spares from Fastlad but I've never been stuck. Never broke a frame in numerous crashes on the Velo, seen plenty done on the 600. I'd go Velo. And it flies straight.

Velo with the 55 in it will not disappoint

[Ashley Davis]

my Velo with 55HZ in it is the most most ridiculously powerful 50 I've ever flown. Flies straight and has amazing collective pop.

The only downer is single supplier for spares..... not much keen on that as if it's not in stock you are straight to importing from the USA to get stuff.

Out of interest, does anyone know why Spartan/RC Hub decided not to bring the 50 in?

[Dave Rand]

gota be a Velo :-)

Because they're idiots

Because they're idiots

there were reasons for it, being idiots wasn't on the list

fastlad have single handedly kept outrage alive in the UK after blink done their best to bury it so major kudos to them.

a single supplier is not ideal but it is what it is and thankfully fastlad are very rarely out of parts for the velocity 50.

cheers

Velo 50, it's the only way to go, no problem with parts. Fastlads are great.

Care to elaborate at all?

[Planehazza]

If in doubt, buy two kits

[raptorheli2]

that is between the respective parties but there was nothing sinister in it at all. maybe things will change in foreseeable.

Hope so, the machine deserves to be generally available.

agree 100%, the vel 50 is an immense little machine.
