Warp-4 3 turn is a good choice as well! Some say it is better then the Mega....? Cheaper as well.

Love the CF

Man I have to tell you I love carbon fiber. Years ago I had a bullet bike, got this new euro rear fender for it thinking, this is going to break, it was so thin it was crazy. Anyhow... I was made into a CF beleiver. Even though I am still on the learning phase I think I to will be gettting some CF bling, it just looks so dam cool. Rots' Heli is looking as the kids would say "real PHAT", lol. Have a good weekend!

Carbon fiber is great stuff and looks wild! Not sure if everyone knows but the Align 3K parts are only a fiber "print" and are still plastic. I actually flew my T-Rex for the first time yesterday and it is really nice! I do have some slop and binding in the tail slider, does anyone know of a good upgrade to get for the tail?

Print... and tail bind

Yes I knew of the 3K being print, even though not real it looks awesome. In regards to your binding and tail response I remember reading in runryder that several people with T-rexs found the MicroHeli precision tail rotor to be a very good upgrade for the heli, as well for any belt rubbing many had used round files and flared out the ends of the tube. If I can find the discussion I will post, it was awhile ago I read it.

Website

Flyinghobbies website is starting to really come together I see, good job! I see you have the new Tanic packs as well, I sent you a PM question regarding those. Anyhow I wish someone in Canada would become a MicoHeli parts distributor, would handle all these T-Rex / Shogun people in a jiff with excellent mods!!! Wink Wink!!!
