Lama V3 about RM490

Only got one shop in PJ selling trex SE but with cut throat price.
all my stuff i order from HK or taiwan

my trex cost more than 4k now with all the upgrades.

trex SE only ar?
i think i will get XL
hmm...
electronics goods , kena custom ?

What is the name of the shop? Can you tell the the address? Do they sell electronics and trex parts?? I need a new brushless motor and tail fins

Can you provide some link to HK or Taiwan for T-rex 450 heli.? Atleast, I know it will be a reliable supplier. I am interested in getting one.

Btw, heli combo kits are custom taxable or not? If yes , pls. PM on trick/tips to avoid the tax?

If you want from HongKong, RC-expert.com is very popular ship to malaysia. http://rc-expert.com/product.php?pid=162
But a warning, DO NOT buy any of their cheap electronics or it will end up costing you alot more in the end..and i would avoid there RTF packages, always assemble the heli yourself.

My personal favourite shop would be shop.rotor.com.sg in singapore and always buy my parts from them

Or another good and well priced dealer is Alan who runs www.private-aircraft.biz here in Malaysia
check out www.private-aircraft.biz/forum

Hobby tech but quite expensive and the boss not friendly at all. i have a Latest New version ESC 35X for sale. and some trex parts for sale.

Which would be the recomended radio to start with (up to intermediate level)
for EP heli.? Are those walkera combo kits 36 comes complete with radio (RTF) good vs. T-rex 450X?

yeah... are there any particular comparison between walkera #36 and now they have #37 with T-rex 450X? I heard #36 quite responsive.

I think if you search most threads related to Walkera products, you will find that they are cheap and nasty and alot of people end up swapping out almost the entire heli for higher quality parts, only then it might be considered up to trex standard.. i would not recommend any of their packages especially for a begginer it could be alot of trouble, unless you understand that your only going to get what you pay for!
As for the transmitter, I would buy the best you can afford right from the beginning. You cant go wrong with any computer channel with six channels or more, most are very versatile and you can use it to fly whaterver Helis or planes you might buy in the future. You should stick to the popular manufacturers - Futuba, Hitec, Jr or Sanwa.

Thks. for the good info.

Looks like T-rex 450 should be the way to go. Another thing, is the carbon fiber frame
neccessary as compare to the normal HDE or CDE- main frame? Will I be disappointed with CDE- main frame bcos the T-Rex450 SE is very expensive -off course you get what
you pay for . Which is easier to learn to fly, stable for hovering, etc.?

wanted to get the simulation kit first b4 i start buying those heli..
any recommendation for that ?
and do i need to buy a good radio for the sim or get those sim pack comes along with those radio ?

Well i started with the stock plastic frame..lasted me alot of crashes! so no complaints. But obviously it's not going to be as strong as a carbon fibre frame, but in terms of flight performance, as a beginner you would never tell the difference!
Buying a brand new 450SE migth be slightly over the top for a first heli, and wasted money because again you will not tell the difference from a standad 450x until you start to get into high power 3D flying. When you crash (you WILL crash) you can choose to replace parts with CNC metal or carbon fibre upgrades if you want, and that way as you learn and your flying gets better, so does your heli to match it
If you crash alot, you could end up with a full metal/carbon trex SE anyway

About the sim, reflex xtr is about the best you will find for helicopters. You can get it with a dummy transmitter for your computer, but very expensive and hard to find.. Or you can buy your real transmitter and if it's not a cheap one you will be able to use it for variouse flights sims: reflex, FMS, real flight G2/G3, Aerofly to name a few once you get a connector to your computer
Im using one of these:

thx much : )
for a beginner, what radio u will recommend ? 6ch or 9ch ? JR or futuba ?
or any other cheaper model ?
i think most probably with start with sim and the radio first..
u think is betteR?
