ic, get it. thanks for replying..

btw, any recommend places or website for buying this Accessories?

If you want to get from OHS, then usually it is cheaper but longer wait time. So you may try with HobbyKing or some of the hobby shop in hong kong. So far I have no problem to deal with them.

If you need it in a hurry, try LHS loh and their name has been mentioned a lot of time in this thread .... Happy searching

what I see here is a co-axial heli with 2 Brushed motor.... if I were you I will not extend the play time as brushmotor overheat very fast... you can get higher battery pack (MAh) but you will burnout thse brush motor and mind you each motor cos RM30.00

you may consider brushless mod which will extend your motor... but it is costly... and since yours is a 3 channel co-axial heli... and you'll probaly learn nothing... I will advise you not to do any mod to it...

Play with it till it dies and consider upgrade to a Fixed-pitch heli or a Collective pitch and further your skill...

a 4 channel fixed pitch is very interesting.... and alot to learn from co-axial 3ch heli...

so my advise... dont upgrade, maybee get some spares like blades and main gears... but dont invest anything further...it's just not worth it...

just me 2 cent

Added on March 17, 2011, 12:23 amoh... for wind resistant on Taylor lakeside campus... I've just been there

my advise,,, any size smaller than 600 you can forget it!!! and must be CP heli... even 600 have a hard time hover there... the wind is strong... and my advise dont fly there it is suicide...

furthermore flying heli expecially Collective pitch you need a big empty area and dont fly when people around.. they may end up at hospital or DEAD... the heli blade can easily take a person head off!!!

so please consider it... play in college when it is totally safe... and dont fly where strong wind... it will knock the heli out of control even big heli can get out of control and hit some one or you...

you may consider closed area like big hall...

wa.... like that i better reconsider where i can go play.... later I pulak end up in hospital or my head come off

Hehehehe, RC heli/plane is not a toy!
Do not ignore the risk from the spinning rotor/blade.

actually i have not found anywhere in malaysia that a 450 size heli cannot hover ... i mean just hover and no funny funny stuff laaa

the place i am flying now is actually the top of a low hill ... quite windy
but the random crosswinds are the ones catching me/us off during landing ... can easily flip a plane over near stall speed ... very tricky

a 450 cannot hover on beach laaa windy can knock the heli up side down

also on windy condition not advisable for a newbie to fly... cause it will crash

IC, thanks for all of u reply.. thanks alot.

no prob...

beach ah ??
no probs at all laaa .. unless u ask me to HOVER during tsunami time laa .. hahahaha
any beach oso can .. provided got flat surface to land the heli on la

trex250 quite expensive compare to its 450 size brother.

Any other clone that is cheaper and closest to the Trex250's performance/quality to recommend?

but the parts for the trex250 is cheap worr
or u can consider the HK 250 lorr ... hehehehe
i have a fren flying his STOCK standard trex250 who parking it already .. if u interested i can ask him if he wanna sell .. never crash b4 one

Really ah, try to ask for me, please .......

my fren say keep laa .. sell oso no value .. hehehe
there is one in MRC for sale ... rm300 for kit motor ESC and couple of batts ... quite good deal

too bad, if the condition is still good I am willing to get it for not more than 500 bucks ..... nvm lah save $$$$
the one in MRC has no gyro and 4 servo, if I get it I think it would be the price of another kit ....

Qiw, If I am getting a 250 kit do you think the BCPV2 ESC (25A) is suitable to use? Would it be a bit heavy since the stock Trex250 only 15A which is lighter I belive ....

it should be OK...

the ESC is very near the CG .. should not pose a major prob other than slight weight increase
wont affect u unless u hardcore 3D laa .. hahahaha

Thanks for the info.

But wonder how the Align stock ESC supplies current to 3 DS410 & 1 DS420 since it is only 2A continuous or 3A burst.

I know that a lot of the BCP ESC catching fire because the BEC is overloaded with just the stock servo. But both have the same rating .......

same ratings does not mean they are the same
diff manufacturer ... maybe the ESKY ESC is 2A max but didnt say ??
the ds410 does not like to run at 6v (shortens lifespan significantly) i read in kwai loh forums so i used an external BEC for my PRO running at 5V

from my experience .. EMAX 25A ESC BEC sucks
i experimented ... 1 standard MG servo pulling retracts with a bit of binding .. the ESC got super hot and eventually cut out
this ESC is supposed to have a 2A BEC but still cannot supply current to ONLY 1 standard servo

the good one i have used so far is the turnigy plush 80A with 3A SBEC ... i used it with 1 mini MG servo (retracts) + 4x9g servos no prob
the other good one i have experience with is the turnigy blue series 40A with 4A SBEC ... used it with 7x9g servos oso no prob

Added on March 21, 2011, 11:36 pmIf you just want a decent 2A BEC in ESC, you can try HobbyWing's Pentium. But beware of the fake Pentium and there are a lot out there as reported by the people in China.
