| Can you see any benifit in getting the used X-Cell w/engine for $450 over a new 50 size TREX w/engine for $640 other than a $190 initial cost?

Nope,, and parts for the Trex are going to be alot cheaper,, But I love the Xcell line, of helis.. There are the finest on the market,, Yes they are expencive to fix, and parts count is high, but when you fly one for the first time,, You Will Be Hooked,,, and for the money,, If your not in any hurry, and you can afford it,, Why not.. I'm sure you can get a manual from Xcell, Not positive, but pretty sure, If that bird was close to me, for that price, I'd buy it,, but thats me,,,, Now a 50 size nitro, is going to cost less to fly in fuel, and repair, and will be a bat out of hell, with a hyper,, Again,, I wish I could tell you what to do,, but,,,,, It's all up to you... There are good deals on Xcell heli all the time here on RR, and other forums,, So Probley be best to go with the Trex 600, and bash the crap out of it, then get a Xcell????????????
Who knows,, that heli might still be there is 6 months to a year????

Very good question,, and I wished I was closer, I'd take a look at it for you and tell you what you need'ed, but maybe there is someone in your area, that could help you figure that part out????? And from just looking at the pic's,, NOT MUCH,, but that just what I can see,,, Bearning, shafts, balllinks, I can't tell from a pic,,,,,
Well good luck,, I know it is a hard decision to make,, Life is full of them,,  XGM/VGM
