T-Rex Crashed XL CDE Taken off the market

[fitenfyr]

Ok I have had enough of this beast.
What you see is what you get.
No Gyro or RX.

Includes the crashed airframe with good blades and 325 Pro's in the bag.
I also have the wood blades and the case.
I have literally flown this about 6 times all trying to sort out a tail problem.
Today that turned into the results you see. :D

The eCCPM servos are HS-55's and the Tail is a Futaba 3110 (only 2 flights new)

Motor is the higher KV Align and the Align 35A ESC.

Everything in the picture plus whatever else I have is included.
Probably about 30.00 or so to put it in the air I would guess plus your Gyro,RX and battery.

225.00 OBO shipped.
Make me an offer I just might take it. :D

Jason,

Sounds like you've have enough of that POS.... Wow... That really sucks, Bro. What has been the problem with it??

Just not enough time to mess with it.
The tail would start a slow piro to the left after about 15 seconds in the air that wouldn't stop.
The gyro was swapped out today just before this and that wasn't the problem.
It seemed to be head speed related. I don't know if the pinion was slipping on the belt pully or what.
Either way I don't want to fix it so somebody gets a good deal. :D

I have a deal pending on the "other" board. :D

I had the same but sold it after 10 flights :mrgreen:

[fitenfyr]

Well had to order a new charger so I just ordered the parts.
It needed a bunch more than I thought actually.
Got 2 servo gear sets and most of the head I think.
Going to put the new Carbon frame on and some metal parts this time.
I will fix it when I have time I guess.

Thanks

I had a feeling you did closer to $100 worth in that crash!

Yep! Yikes!

[fitenfyr]

Funny...
While I hadn't added it up yet apart from the "upgrades" I bought.
I think it was less than 75.00 for the parts.

Flybar
Flybar control arm
blade grips
tailbox
gear
mainshaft
spindle (both just in case)
and 2 gear sets.

So far that is it.....

They are tough little suckers really.
I drove that straight down right into a storm drain grate in ID1 at about 2000 rpm. :D

Mine did the same thing. I just got done with the rebuild. I crashed cause of having figured out what the problem was with the tail. the blade holders was
binding as Rpms increased.

Other people reported this, just never checked it. finally turned my attention to it
and they was Right!!

once tail blades pitched freely the tail was on the money WOW!!! got so confident
that I flew it into the deck :(

check you'r tail grips with blades on, pull them apart, (to duplicate them being pulled outward, by motors RPMs) and see if they bind.

sorry to hear about you'r crash :(

[fitenfyr]

Crashes are part of flying.
If I couldn't live with a bust then I wouldn't be doing this. :D

The tail was backwards on mine.
I must have gotten too confident with the build and put the grips on backwards.
Noticed it when I was pulling it apart on Saturday.

Should fly great soon as I get some landing gear. :(

Get Gorilla Gear from Modefo's. They are indestructible....

[fitenfyr]

Gorilla Gear
On back order with DeeTee. :D
Should have them in a week or so.
I will pick up a cheap set at the LHS till then.
