Much prefer the nitro, but the elec gets me that all important in between nitro races practice.I have a nitro heli too, but cant fly the thing to save myself.

Got 3 Rc cars and only one is running atm and that's on a good day. ELECTRIC is better then gas!!!but that's only brushless, as no maintainence and no heat issues.My fav is probably Xray T1 factory kit. Probably get that moving at over 140 km/hr if I tried.Dont bother with CEN, they maybe quick but they aint quality. Like my Xray is better as all carbon stuff, but CEN is all plastic. My advice is look around and buy the better quality stuff you wont regreat it. It like a car if u sting for the extra power it will just cause you trouble later.

The chassis I have is also carbon! it looks great aye, got plenty of concreate at my place so can really rip it up, the new speed controller does wonders!here is a pic of it with the unpainted falcon body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
