It may be the lower gear ratio on the vibe that causes the engine to load less.

I think they are about the same too. I was getting about 10ish tank fill ups to a gallon on them both.

The vibe tank is bigger. Tried it already, suck the fuel from Trex 600 tank and fill it back in to the Vibe 50 tank, there is still room left in Vibe's tank.

Hmm maybe you're right. I based myself on actual flight time which is definitely influenced by the gear ratio (8.7 vs 8.5) as on the vibe, the engine load is infact lower.

I stand corrected then and I'm sorry for the assumption they were of different size

Yea, the Vibe does have that extra space at the top, I only fill up to right where the tank starts to curve at the top.

Yes. The difference is where the tank starts to curve on the top. Roughly it is about 15 - 20 % different.

Ok, I'm confused. Are they the same or not?


Time wise, although I don't use a timer? The vibe seems to be in the air longer.

And, I'm not using a header tank?

I'd rather be flying

I know the TRex 600 has a tiny tank, and JR tend to make overly large tanks. I've got a Vibe 50 coming so I hope its tank is bigger than the tiny Rex 600 one!

Sorry for the long note, I didn't have time to write a short one.
