Copied some info from the link 2 posts above...

"The X400 from ARK also provides a cheap but less 3D capable machine from stock. The X400 is much more stable than the T-Rex and therefore more suited to a beginner pilot. Building the X400 requires less attention in getting the controls free from binding and the whole control system is much tighter and slop free. Bearings and bushings are a good fit and the whole control mechanism is smooth running. The X400 is not highly configurable but it does have a lower all up weight than the T-Rex, negating the need for adverse frame lightening methods. Parts availability is not so good but will get better with time. Repair costs are likely to be slightly higher than the T-Rex."

just some key words.. lol.. If you are debating between the X400 and the Trex I would go with the Trex because of popularity and parts support...
