Re: First 450 build need advice
Looks good to me. You may want to look used for the servos and gyro though, some great deals out there.

Keep in mind the hitec gyro is just a rebranded logictech 2100t so if you see a good deal on the logictech get that.

If you use TURNIGY Plush 40amp Speed Controller you wont need a SBEC and save you some weight and money.

Re: First 450 build need advice
I use an align 35X and it only has a 2 amp BEC with no problems, I use hs-65 and a futaba 401 gyro with a 9650 futaba tail servo.
so you will be fine with the tunigy trust 55, Its just a little big im my opinion . 35 to 40 amps is all you need

The quark is definitely one of the best gyros out there so go for it.

As for training gear, I'd just suggest you make your own, some 3mm cf rod (from hobby shop), zip ties and ping pong balls and you're good
