This is an amazing kit. Align sure has stepped up thier game even more in quality and engineering. The kit was pretty simple to build and the manual was detailed enough. This thing performs amazing whether you are into hard 3D or smooth sport flying. You cant beat this heli for the price.
Fast N Nice AMAIN hobbies have always done a great job. Fast shipping and always support parts and staff on hand. Best store ever
TRex 500X is the most affordable intermediate large helicopter you can find if you want to transition from something like Blade 230 or 360. Great kit quality, easy to build, can get up to 7 min of flight time using 6S 3300 mAh in normal mode, super stable. If I were to buy it again, I would probably get the Super Combo with all metal servos and arms, but the Combo version does just fine. It's an excellent helicopter, I highly recommend it.
All three reviews are five-star and verified-owner reports on the Combo Helicopter Kit variant. Reviewers describe the kit as easy to build with a detailed manual, stable in flight, and capable of both smooth sport and aggressive 3D flying. One reviewer reports about seven minutes of flight time on a 6S 3300 mAh battery in normal mode. Another notes that the Super Combo, with metal servos and arms, would be preferred on a repeat purchase, though the Combo is considered adequate. Reviewers also praise the seller for fast shipping and support. No disagreements or recurring problems appear in these reviews, and the sample is small.
