e-Electric General Discussion > Which Micro? USED Piccolo ECO?

I have the chance to buy a used/kinda beat up-but repairable piccolo Eco from a friend. He originally wanted $350 for the bird, bats, charger and a Futaba 6xas radio.

I've since done some cost comparisons, and found Hornets and Hummingbirds (and piccolos) NEW, for much, much cheaper.

The thing is, i don't really know the strength/weaknesses of each of these little machines and so i dunno whether i should try to get him to come down or just bag it and buy new.

And if I do go new, WHICH ONE.....

It seems as though there would be a poll/ lots of this type of question asked here but i'm not finding any....

Any advice? What would you pay for the used package, OR if you went with new, which bird would you get????

THANKS!!

Buy a new one, either a Feda or hummingbird, I have a few micro helis. Below is a link of a guy from Hongkong that I trust and have bought from in the past you cant go wrong with his feda its identical to the other Century Humma that I own and I only paid £140 sterling (I hagled) It also came with a better ppm 6ch reciever, motor and Futaba FF4 tranni that I got with my Century bird. Ask for a version 3 if you can (comes in a blue box) it came in about 3-4 days cant remember now, and it never got touched by customs for tax inspection as it was labeled as a toy.
