Hi guys,

I am very interest in the Trex 700 but i have a question
I fly now the Trex600superProNitro,without problems(little 3D now)
I am thinking to buy a Trex 700,what's the best setup to buy??
I hear that Hitec servo's on the swash not good are with 2,4 futaba reciever(voltage problem!)and now i am thinking to buy JR8717 for the swash give these servo's no problem with my futaba 2,4Ghz reciever??(voltage pulse problen 3V)
Normaly i used only Futaba servo's but they have not the power and speed like the JR

What are your's best advice to have a good powerful Rex700 witch parts do i need

Thanks for the advice

With Regards,

Buy the best, newest, and most expensive of everything.

$$$$ = faster
$ = slower

That's helicopters in a nutshell. Good luck.

Consider the Align 610 servos on cyclic. $68 and they are pretty good. They may not be DS8717s or BLS451s, but they are close and the price is right.

I have 610s on cyclic and a 620 on throttle. Supposedly, the 750 gyro/ 620 servo on tail isn't bad either. I have a Spartan/ DS8900G on mine.

I'm running Hitec 6965's with my Futaba 2.4 receiver without issue on both a trex600e and a 700.

Hitec 6975's using the Align 2-n-1 regulator. Six months of flying hard, no problems. I started with the Align servo wheels for Hitec but they loosened up. Keep the Hitec heavy duty crosses or order the CNC wheels from QuickUK.

I agree on the Align servo wheels. Mine were loose from the time they were new. I just stayed with the red heavy duty crosses. They have predrilled holes at 15 mm from center with works fine with the Align spacing.
