If it's parts-compatible with the T-Rex 450, which I'm hoping it is, quality won't matter to me. I can upgrade the parts that fail with better parts from any number of manufacturers until I'm satisfied with it.

I've rarely been satisfied with any of my name-brand RC touring car kits out of the box, but there are always titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber parts available.

Just an observation; there is a lot of copying of designs by small Asian companies going on, but I always found it amusing that if I wanted, say, a Traxxas T-Maxx monster truck, that I didn't have to buy a T-Maxx to get it. In fact, it's possible to build a T-Maxx from aftermarket parts without ever buying a single part from Traxxas. Same with other RC vehicles. Sure, US companies don't offer the whole kit-and-kaboodle in one purchase like the Asian companies do, but it's still possible.

Just ordered mine I am number -18 I did question the shipping weight 990? I thought a trex all ready to fly was only like 800. They must be shipping it in a refrigerator box.

Dame, I think Bower64 is starting to affect me with the want of cheap helis.

This looks like the best copied SA I have ever seen. Even the metal sides are exact. It will be interesting to see if it has a metal main head. I see the tail blade holders are plastic-the SA's are metal.

availability at this moment in time -21
Unbelievable

That's really is not a large number. I have seen the 3S 2200 batts at -99.

It looks like the head is plastic, but if it's parts-compatible with the T-Rex, we should be able to get a metal head for it.

Can you take a look at the pictures in the first post of this Hobbycity.com forum?. I'd like to know just how close to the T-Rex it is.

Thanks!
