T-REx Tx/Rx question

[kiwi1080]

I found a 450 CNC T-rex kit fit only $250 with motor, esc, and battery, pretty sweet if you ask me!! Anywho, I was thinking that to save money at the moment and just get to fly the thing round, would a cheaper 72Mhz tx/rx? I was also thinking of using the following:

Towerpro servos on head and tail

Basic HH gyro for the meantime (what are good options?)

I can so all this for a really good price and then would likely go the DX6/Ar6200 combo later as money allowed. Would using these cheaper things just let me get flying ok and learn some more flight skills. Looks like a really good option so far. THanks.

(4) Tower Pro SG 90 Servos
(1) Telebee TLB01 Head Lock Gyro

Then of course a radio and receiver from a Blue Ray or Belt CP.The cheap replacements from someplace like Xheli will fly it fine.

I found a W-fly rx/tx system from KA Planes that sells the T-rex that looks good. Has a gyro sensitivity adjust and pitch control but is only 72Mhz. Will this still work ok?? Thanks ern

I don't think the Tower servo is going to be fast or strong enough for the tail.

You really need a digital servo that is faster than 0.1 seconds for 60 degrees.

Over at Deal Extreme, there is a Futaba 401 clone for sale (the Xmhobbies G401B) for $23.50!!
I have one coming, so I will do a report on it.
If you look at the other threads here, I posted a link to that, which then has a link to a huge discussion about it.

I would also highly recommend saving up for a DX6i radio.

These make setting up a ccpm a breeze.

Hey Kiwi,

I left you an email address on your other post (where you announced our purchase ) where a guy has an almost new DX6i for sale on Xheli's forum. He says its practically new ( $65 ) along with some other stuff

I hope you understand that I was keeping in the faith of the post when I suggested the servos.CHEAP.

Ask about the greater and faster servos and I'll look it up.

I don't even have to go online.My PC has some good stuff.
