Hi, I am interested in Gaui 200. I think there are two different versions: Shaft drive vs belt drive. Which one do you guys prefer and why? I think Shaft drive one cost $50 more than belt drive one. I am goingto use Hitec 45 servos for cyclis, GY401, stock motor/esc combo, futaba 3154 tail servo (do you recommend other tail servo?) I have a dx7 radio w/ 6100 receiver. I want to buy two extra lipo packs and wondering what batttery you guys are using. I have a triton charger with deans connect on it. I see 7.4v 800mah stock battery pack uses J-connector instead of deans connector. Can I still charge the pack with the trioton charger? If so, how? What do I need to buy? I see readyheli is out of gaui 200. Do you guys know any other sites that sells gaui 200 for cheap? Is there a any upgrade we should do right away? Please let me know, Thanks in advance.

I have the belt drive and REALLY like it. your electronics set up is excellent. As for the batterys I really like the stock 2s 800's. I get 4 mins of beating the heli around hard. As long as you have a jst connector for your charger you will be fine. Deans ultra are 2 heavy, but I have had 0 problems with the jst's in 50-60 flights. I think Amain hobbies has them for a good price, as does my LHS. The only upgrade I did was woodies, and I like them much better than the plastics.
I have posted a mini build guide sort of thing calles first thoughts, that I like to think has a good set up.

i have sd version... i like shaft... using 850 2cell is very stable for fun flying... may be u can drill 2 holes to install a tray (from align 450) so u can put your gyro / receiver on the tray instead of putting the gyro inside the frame...

i know someone in the states placed their orders with flying hobby in HK... i bought my ep200 there but not sure how long it takes the parcel to arrive your side...
