When it comes to 30 class nitro, do you reckon Caliber 4 is a good 3D heli. I am tossing between this and the Hirobo Shuttle plus2. As for the motor, I intend to use an OS 37 SZ-H and the new Hatori 37NS-3D #421. Which heli would be a better choice.

I do not intend to get a Raptor 30 nor Airskipper 30 as their mainframes are base on their 50 class heli. I think they are a bit heavy for a 37 class engine.

Between the two helis -- Shuttle Plus or Caliber 4 -- I'd go with the Caliber 4. With the motor and muffler you're going to use, it should get you down the road to 3D.

I recently installed a Muscle Pipe for 30 motors (from the RR classifieds), and find that the 37 with a decent muffler really wakes up the Caliber 4. I am contemplating replacing that funky flybar with a standard flybar from one of my Caliber 30's.

You might also consider the 30 sized Hirobo Sceadu EVO with that engine and muffler. I've seen one with an OS 32 SX-H and Curtis MP2 a couple of years ago, looked pretty nice.

caliber vs hirobo

I would take a look at the price for repair parts ie , boom, main shaft etc that usually gets damaged in a crash I bet the kyosho will be cheaper. However if that is not an issue I would go with the hirobo just because they make a better quality helicopter.

Enjoy the day for we know not what tomorrow holds
