Trex 700 build what to order

[spunkmyer]

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

[tonystevens]

did you not get the gyro,servos and gov with the heli then?

[Tim Procter]

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 used to heli's not coming with servos, gov etc didnt look just assumed I would need to buy them. I will have a look.

[tonystevens]

depends which deal you got ,i got everything except the engine,muffler and throttle servo with mine

[mark lane]

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

[moonmanflyer]

Throttle servo, a Futaba S3152 will do fine
AR7000 RX
OS91HZ
Align muffler
Sorted

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

[Jamin_00]

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.

[spunkmyer]

Thanks some very usefull ideas and suggestions. Ok my 700 comes with it all except the engine, muffler,rx and throttle servo. Ok lots of thinking to do and a Wot4 to build as well.

[Rctintin]

Building my 700LE at the moment. I have fitted a DS650 for the throttle, AR7000 RX, YS91 and Hatori SB16-(bought second hand off this site) Also included a few upgrades during the build. Will post up with pics when complete.

[mark_w]

Sorry to hyjact the thread, but which YS91 do i need?

Fast Lad Performance

I want a reliable engine that is easy to tune, is the YS the engine for me?
