  • RMJ TREX DTS V3 Conversion

    Here is a sneak peak at our latest development. Our brief was to bring up to date the Trex Nitro to Direct to swash with minimal custom parts and cost. We beleive we have achieved this with the RMJ TREX DTS V3 conversion.

    So what is it?

    Simply put you can take your old Nitro Pro, transfer all your gear in to this new frame set and be bang up to date like the electric counterpart.

    What do you need?

    1) Trex Nitro Pro or Trex DFC Electric donor airframe,
    2) A set of 3 bearing blocks from the DFC 700 E,
    3) Our Conversion frame set (2 side frames and anti rotation bracket),
    4) 2 Trex 600 undercarriage mounts,
    (E Donor will require Nitro running gear).

    The frame set will be produced in carbon and our carbon supplier produces a really high quality finish and top notch CNC work. The RMJ conversion will provide an option to convert any of the above models with minimal expense.

    Key Features:


    Quality Carbon Finish,
    DTS Direct to swash,
    Easy removal of clutch stack for servicing through the top. No need to drop the engie out,
    Virtually all stock Align with the exception of 2 main frames and Anti rotation swash,
    Fewer parts, bearings, shafts.

    Here are a few pics of the final frame design. Expected availability July/Early August 15.

        Don't hold me to it just yet due final costing but we are expecting to Retail the kit for £99.00.

          How does this effect COG if at all?

            C of G can be balanced perfectly. We purposely designed the tail servo to remain in the front position and with varying electronic setups there is no problem.

            On a seperate note the stock Pro canopy will fit along with new mounting positions for the later TREX DFC N canopy.

              If using a DFC v3 electric donar like me you will also need to buy the nitro front receiver tray as well as the running gear.

                    Ady all ours are cut locally.

                    Here are a few more pics of the convesion. Just back from flying rain ended play short but it's not going to disappoint. Super smooth and inspires confidence.



                    As as soon as the weather breaks next week I will go out and shoot some video.

                        Anyone coming down to AIR next weekend will get a chance to see this conversion in the flesh as I'm going to be bringing it with me.

                        Looked fantastic tonight, everything that is good about the direct to swash electric DFC but now for nitro.
