Hey Fellas
Have a look at this chopper, I was surfing around and came across this machine,, Very interesting especially when you consider the price $250.00USD :eek: thats about a 1/3 of the real thing!!

Nice.. but still too much metal for me... I like my plastic pigeon ;)

Once I'd stopped clutching my sides after reading the translated "featuers" it actually looks pretty good value. I would imagine parts availability would be an issue though.

G'day Vapo-
They do list some parts here, http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/index.php?cPath=173_175&osCsid=3de3741a402848baa405df21c4575d6e
but only two, but still cheap and apparently most of it is compatible with T-Rex anyway. :)
Cheers

It looks like Trex with the exception of a few different styled parts. The 250.00 dollar price is without electronics. I think they'll run about the same price as the rex when all said and done. It's a nicely blinged out heli. :D

I think the helidirect HDX450 is better value, same price but comes with a motor at least

I bought basicaly the same thing a couple of weeks back through ehirobo (CX45AE combo) for 170 US$ when the AU$ was up its a good buy better than my 62 Walkera havnt had much time to trim it up but could hover straight out the box.

The CopterX 450 AE os also offered on Ebay as a RTF minus battery and charger.

I forgot to add to be aware on a few sites the reviews for the E-bay offered clones via Besthobby... are not great. On a few foreign Heli forums (Australia, Germany and Italy) a few have bought from here only to have bad experience with packaging, and damaged (scratches, bent, etc.) airframes. If you are looking for a reputable source I recommend ehirobo.com also for T-rex replacement parts. You can pay via Paypal yet the shipping will cost you a good bit. Plus with paypal you can dispute any issues and have better luck with getting your money back if that may be the case.

Good Luck.
