Hi all

From what I can gather, these helis are one and the same, depending on where in the world you buy them. Tempted on one of these, but for one thing.....motor

For whatever reason, it's designed for a 2400kv motor, rather that the 3500-4000kv i'm used to for my other 450's. The kit is about £100 inc delivery:thumbup:, the motor is a further £60!!!! OUCH! :thumbdown:Most of the brushless motors I have bought are £15

Started to look at Scorpion motor, but that I believe is 2580kv. Could tweak the throttle curve I guess, but not sure as to pinion choice.....it's all so very confusing:arggg:

Anyone out there with one of these helis, with a sensible price motor suggestion?

Cheers

Pete

i have the BH 500 se pro, and the motor i have in mine is the stock 2700 kv one. i run it with a turnigy 40 a esc with 2200mah 4s packs and it really zips along good.
