Raptor's come highly recommended dube. I fly a Thunder Tiger ... the mini titan (450). The head is a bit different though. The Raptor has Modular design which is great for tinkerin'. My 450 is like that. It's an easy heli to work on. If I didn't want a Rave so bad, I'd go with the 620e as my next purchase. You'll hear some people scream about parts availability, but don't buy that. Plenty of people sell their parts. Not many Local Hobby Shops, but you can find parts all over online. That's the beauty of having a fleet like you do.... you've got something to fly while you're waiting for the parts.

the e620 SE has the Raptor 50 head and Tail.... I want the e620 SE. Here's a review of the 50 by RC Heli Magazine www.rchelimag.com/pages/reviews.php?review=35&page=1I've been sizing up the e620 for quite a while, ever since I built my Mini T. I've followed a few threads on RC Groups |

man, I'd hate to steer you in the wrong direction bro. I'm not qualified to comment one bit on a nitro heli. If it were me, I wouldn't do it mainly because it's nitro. Though, if you're hell bent on getting a nitro heli, I think this is a great choice. Many people love the Raptor. In the end though, I think it would come down to value.

well the trex 700 that i have is nitro, i dont fly it very much. to big and cost alot if you crash. blades are $120 a pop. the parts for the rap are half that. and the 700 nitro is two years old now. i guess i will wait to see what he has in it for electrics first, he always goes top $ on that stuff. the trex is only worth around $1200 to $1400 from what i read on the forums. just looking for opinons right now ya no. l.o.l
