Hello

I am wondering how well copterX head/tail work on trex 450?

i saw some overseas dealers selling them on e/b a y fairly cheap. i had some quesitons:

1. are they any good - or way worse than align heads/tails
2. would i need to do any modificaiton to fit my trex450?
3. also, are the various components of the head, compatible with Trex v2 (compared to copterX v2)

Your experience with both of these products will be much apprecited!!!

Quite a few threads about the copter X vs. Align head.

In short, my personal experience has been excellent. Plug and play and the quality is just as good as the align unit.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!

same here.. I fly CopterX V2 tails on both my helis and they rock.
when and if I ever trash my heads they will be replaced with CX as well.

Appreciate youre responses very much - copterX is comparable to Align head/tail.

now for the third question - are all the parts interchangeable? Say for example, i have a copterX V2 - and needed to change the main grips, can i just buy the align grips, and they would fit/work perectly?

copter X

i also have the copter x head and tail assembly on my trex 450 it rocks. so smooth. it came with ball link arms that go to the servo arm. i popped them off (lazy) stuck in the copter x and checked the screws for tight (all were very tight) and flew. very smooth.night and day to my sa head. i was worried as well if i shouldn't have spent money not knowing if quality was the same. but i'm impressed. i've got a new se coming with metal head and i'll compare and let you know if parts will swap around. should be here in a day or so.

Black Angel is a bad idea.. at least with the previous versions of the CX they were clones so you could at least get trex parts or other clone parts if you needed to fix something and didn't want to wait for Ehirobo to send parts from HK.

the BA is a new unproven design that is CX only so you will have to get their parts from them as no one stocks CX stuff.

At this point with the V3 Trex450 on the way.. the Beam E4 and Furion and Rave out there.. no reason not to buy a good kit.

this is just your opinion which you are entitled to but not based on fact...

your logic is flawed, the rave and the beam is not available in NZ as for parts I always purchased my parts over seas and keep a stock anyway, parts from Ehirobo to here are about a week away so I dont see that being an issue you seem to be a BIG FAN of the alin gear

no its not its very close to the beam, I could also say the rave is a new design looking at the tail

how can you state "dont buy them" in one breath then say you use their parts on your align helis
