wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I still have this one. Its much larger than the little handheld ones you see. It hasnt been used in a long time.

If nobody on here has one check out http://www.hobbytalk.com or rctech.net Hobbytalk has a few less knuckle draggers than rctech. Just make sure you check the head for extra play, bad bearings, or a bent shaft. I have seen these birds come into the hobbyshop BEAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer deal for someone who wants a nice heli, ready to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah, I guess that's the price you pay for buying used. You can actually get good deals used, just make sure you really check the chopper out. There are guys that look to upgrade, out grow, or just want the newest thing. I would suggest sticking with the e-flight stuff. Most shops stock parts locally and the parts are cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentStateTsi Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 +1 for eflight. The only problem I ever had was my swash plate seperating mid flight about 100ft up. This was on my full size SR. My blade 400 has hundreds of flights with maybe a few belt replacements and some main blades here and there. I have a 450 and 2 trex 250 clones as well. My only nitro is a hirobo sceudo evo 50. If you are looking for a 3D bird you get what you pay for. If you just want to play then I see no reason the clones aren't as good with a little time and work setting it up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know where you got your clones from. my brother had a trex 450, said there are chinese clones for like $30 COMPLETE. I cannot find such instances. Let me know.

AWW$HEEET Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I see 2-3 new RC helicopters posted on Craig's list daily. i cant get on there from work, but i have seen a few. a majority of them are junk, non hobby grade ones. i think i plugged in "eflite" last night, and 4 results came up, 2 semi recent and 2 from like early december, late november.

The hk450 is compatible with trex parts. They come pre assembled minus electronics for $30. Make sure you select parts that are at the US warehouse and you can get them quickly. The overseas warehouses are known to take a while and high shipping cost. I'll post some links when I get home to a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I bought all my small e-flights locally but when I was in to the 450's I bought all the parts and what not for Hobby King for about 1/3 of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Just get one of them Chinese jobs from eBay. I got one for Christmas and it works great. Plus they are cheap so if you mess it up you can just buy a new one. I have crashed this one a few times and it hasn't broken yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybye Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 We play with these in the showroom at work often and one guy has tried about 10 different ones. All of them have been trouble except for the cheaper ones from thinkrc.com. This little one here has actually been the most stable and reliable one yet. http://www.thinkrc.com/35ch-syma-s032g-big-size-helicopter-metal-series-gyro-red-p-722.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
