If wanting to upgrade to a larger electric which one would be best"?

The Raptor 50 or the Align TREX 600? They are both new to the market but Align has been into electrics more than Raptor.

Thoughts??

Depends on your goals with the heli.

Getting into a fully setup ERaptor with a few flight packs (if going the recommended 10S) will cost quite a bit more to get going. But, it will perform better that way (you get what you pay for)

That being said, the 600 is amazing for the cost. I am having a blast with mine. THe repair parts are extremely reasonable and the heli flies very well - plenty of punch for me, not quite as much as my Hyper 50 Evo - but pretty close. For the price, the Trex600 is very good. It all boils down to what you want to spend and what you want out of it. 6S packs are quite a bit cheaper than 10S, as well as the charging options.

If money is a concern, the Trex600 may be the best route - if ultimate power is the concern, the Razor or ERaptor may be the choice, but at an increased cost.

If you want an amazing 3D model that's comparable or better in price, don't forget the Mikado Logo series helis.
