  • Trex 700 build what to order

    Right for xmas I got a 700LE and have just opened the box this morning. Now my flying level is no where near this beast yet. But thats fine, gives me time to build it.

    So my to buy list is as follows.

    RX Ar7000
    Gyro Gp750
    Engine ?
    Servos ?
    Gov ?

    So any advice for the above and anything else i need

    Cheers

      RX Ar7000
      Gyro Gp750
      Engine ? OS-91HZ
      Servos ? Align ds610 on cyclic. Align ds650 on tail
      Gov ? Align Gov is fine unless you want to upgrade to a MultiGovPro or similar.

            So many goodies included

            All you need is

            Throttle servo
            Engine
            pipe
            Ar7000

            As Tim says... the OS91HZ is a great choice... go for the non pumped version

            Align pipe, or MP6 or Hattori SB19 your choice

                The right Hatori for the OS is the SB20, the SB19 is for the YS

                Incidentally, the YS is the motor I would go for

                  Yes me too having now had both the Hatori SB19 with the YS is better imo. A more powerful combo and smoother too.

                  Servos, you cant go wrong with the 610's on cyclic, I used the supplied tail servo for the throttle and put a BLS251 on the tail with a Spartan.

                  Gov, the Align gov is what I have put on to keep it simple as it supposed to be fine

                  Oh and the 2in1 is the nuts too

                    When I started flying mine, I found the canopy gel-coat started to crack around the mounting holes after just a few (say 5 or less) on and offs since you have to stretch it over the pins.

                    The Quick UK canopy mounts aren't very expensive and stop this from being a problem.

                      the best advice is to buy the best you can afford,, a lot of this hobby is personal preference... but if you aint into 3d etc then the best servo's muffler etc aint gonna be of benefit to you. Nothing wrong with the align govenor, i use them in all my heli's, heard some horror stories about the servo's but have'nt seen any failures myself. the gyro's 750, 780 are supposed to be good but again i have no personal experience of them.
