Trex 800e !!!!!

[Audi_TT 83]

I just got a post on my facebook from align, but it seems they are manufacturing an 800e

sadly i have no dimensions but it looks like another beautiful machine, that i may just have to save up and add to my hangar

Interesting, but I assume it would be designed to run on 7S batteries ???

[procol]

Im not sure, but the picture says it comes with a 450 KV motor and Castle ICE2 120HV, an the specs for the ESC say 50V max.

No direct to swash? A step backwards perhaps?

[Stanley Speel]

This looks like a 700ev2 with the 800e stretch kit and DFC head unless I'm missing something. It doesn't look like a true 800 heli like the XXtreme.

800 on 12s will suck eggs unless its just a stretched 700!

Holy cow that's ginormous!!!

[Swashbuckler]

And the main rotor diameter is of course 1780mm not 1500mm as posted here. And people it is hangar not hanger, that is for clothes and other unimportant things. Hangar is the aircraft (important) one.

12s will indeed suck for 3d.

[Si Goodchild]

It weighs a whole lot less than my Raptor 90SE FBL e-conversion! (but those alloy frame stiffeners look soooo nice, even though they aren't needed!)

I thought it was, thats the last time i take a spelling correction from someone at work, i was right the first time lol

why will 12s suck for 3d ? i saw a very good 3d flight from a 12s goblin at the weekend (til it all went wrong)

The rotor diameter would be more like 1700 ish (1600 for the blades plus the width between the grips).

----'just realised Swashbuckler beat me to the punch

[LaurenceGough]

A Goblin is a 700 size. For a 800 size to 3D best they tend to need 14S or more.

[Swashbuckler]

Goblin is a 90. The rotor disc is considerably smaller. On a proper 800 everything would be scaled up. Otherwise you are just taking 90 size gear much closer to its tolerances. Current draw will be much higher with an 800, so having a higher cell count mitigates that.

[Jamin_00]

If this is a true 800 it will suck on 12s regardless of 3d or sport flying. The RTF weight of the Xxtreme is around 6kg so 600g wont be much different at all in a big bird like this. It does look like a bigger frame as the skids look like tiny 700 ones

(Going by the Xxtreme sucking on 12s even for sport flying, cant even get a decent head speed)

I thought this was first marketed as an aerial photography heli? Oh wait I just see the first pic. How the hell can it be set up for a 3D heli AND a aerial photography one as well lol.


IMO on 12s it will be worse than the 600e on 6s no???
