T-Rex 500 Info

[Ashley Davis]

yeah, my only worry is whether the packs will stand up to the Medusa, it's a bit of an animal

[raptorheli2]

well if any pack will ash it will be those 2200 revos. if those won't nothing likely will if the 18c ones are anything to bo by.

i would think the stock motor will be ample though for 99% assuming it actually works. i.e bearings work and the shafts stay on the motor.

cheers

bearings work and the shafts stay on the motor.

will if previous motors are anything to go buy.....oh wait....bugger!
Lets hope the new motor is like the 430XL and not the 600XL

[raptorheli2]

8-9 days and i think if you are not on the top of the preorder list you can forget about getting one. ordered mine about 2 minths ago and i was 4th on list. i'm doubtful about getting mine.

nice one ashley. i was going to get hitec servos (5082 digitals) but i read they are not ball raced so i think i'll stump for 9650's all round now unless anyone has other suggestions? 9257's are one but i think given torque i'd get the 9650's.....but open to suggestions as no experience with this size of servo.

cheers

[Ashley Davis]

I plumped for all 9650s

[raptorheli2]

probably the best bet i think altough i'll get a 9257 for the tail, but either should work fine.

any luck testing the 2200 packs yet ont he bench? i called to order some yesterday and need to confirm my order, said i would speak to your good self first.

cheers

I think you'll find I only big something up if it deserves it......check my site for comments on the 600XL motor as an example, I was the one telling the world not to buy it as it overheats, shaft snaps etc etc

Cool... So what do you recommend as a great 600e motor then ?
