Raptor e620 or Trex 600

[Gaza07]

I asked a few local flyers this question and was suprised to find they favoured the raptor
Cant say ive seen much about the raptor on here
Ill vote raptor but only because i think its gonna loose the vote

[gazza]

Align every time

Totally biased opinion mind, never had anything to do with the e620 but I think it works out a lot, lot more expensive. Spares probably not so cheap either, knowing TT.

So for value for money & proven record the 600 wins this time

Trex 600 for me,ive seen one fly and its awesome,so much so ive just bought one,although mines the metal one and not the carbon.

[Raptorite]

I voted for the Raptor too, a few reasons really, one being that's what some people on here have come to expect of me

Another one would be that from what Ive heard the raptor actually flies very well

I am hoping to get my hands on one to try in the nearish future, so as and when I do I will post something about it here

Cheers,
Pete.

My vote is for the trex 600. Cheap great model. Not the best proformance but value for money gets the thumbs up from me

If you're considering 50 sized electric helis, what about the Hirobo Leptun (or whatever it's called)?

[Ashley Davis]

this poll is responsible for me blurting tea all over my keyboard.....are these machines even comparable??? The raptor won't even fly on 6S, it's built for 10S.

we had a couple of rappy 50s down the field today for once... its getting to be a rare occurance these days.

if you REALLY want an electric 50 size then the 600 is defo go the way.

Arent they both supposed to be 50 sized electrics

[gazza]

Yeah I think so but doesnt the Rappy swing longer blades hence the need for the beefed-up power setup? Plus the Trex600 is ever so slightly smaller than a Raptor 50 & the 620E is slightly bigger I think.

Could be talkin' crap tho as usual

[Ashley Davis]

no the Rappy is bloody heavy.....hence the need for a beefed up power set

I'd say it depends on how deep your pockets are. In my opinion, the Trex 600 is an underpowered turkey, but it's cheap to buy and cheap to mend. The Raptor will cost more, but will turn in a good performance with the right motor and battery.

The Logo14 and 3DMP will easily wipe the floor with both of them, but will hit your wallet harder, especially if you crash.

The Logo14 and 3DMP will easily wipe the floor with both of them

Sorry but that's just not true. All your are stating here is that your Logo14 / 3DMP has a better power system. They certainly don't fly better, the 3DMP is a dog at 3D and the Logo14 is just an expensive T-Rex 600, it's no more capable in flight.

If you strip out the stock motor / ESC and put in a decent power system the Logo14 is no better. In fact I personally think the 600 flies better, the Logo14 has always felt twitchy to me.

[Ashley Davis]

having written the above it brings me right back to my original point which is these two machines (being compared in the poll) although very similar in size require totally different power systems. One is relatively cheap to power the other rather expensive (6S vs 10S).

Of course you could build a 10S T-Rex 600 and wipe the floor with 3DMPs and Logo14s.....ok, I'll get my coat

[Tean]

Err, actually my Trex has a Neu 1515 which churns out way more power than the old Tango I've got in the Logo and both run on the same 10s batteries. If I'm at the field with a couple of charged packs, it's not going to be the Trex that gets flown. Not by me anyway. In fact, I don't even bother taking the Trex to the field anymore.
As for the 3DMP, the one I've flown certainly didn't feel like a dog. I'm no 3D expert, but I can turn a trick or two. Enough to tell a dog from a turkey.

If my budget would only stretch to a 6s setup, I'd rather put it in a smaller, 500 bladed model and enjoy decent gogo and long flight times, than the lackluster performance and short flights of a heavy, 600 bladed model.

Only my opinion.
