now im wondering, does it come with the motor and ESC or is that seperate. i wanna run a 6S setup. this way i can use the same batteries on this as the T-REX 600. saves me from buying EXPENSIVE batteries.

also what is a good setup for this heli?

These do not come with motors or esc, bare bones. Setups are not very well known yet, the heli was just released last week. Give it a few weeks you will likely start seeing some reports. I am going to try the Z Motor the A50A-800 with a 9 tooth pinion on 10S for example, undecided on the ESC at this point though. Cheers. On 6S it will likely not give you any better performance than your rex 600, to be ballisitic it needs 10S imho.

[Motions]

For the 620SE, you'll need to run a minimum of 8S. If you really have to run 6S, I would suggest you get the 550.

well yes i do, its not my fault, im 16 no job and a girlfriend, money is tight, if i had a job i might be able to go 10S but right now im lucky i have 2 flight power 6S batteries for my 600, im also lucky i have my 600. so yea i'll definetly look into the 550.

thanks

If you think women are expensive now wait till later, lol. :lol:

ohh yea cant wait(sarcasm) well i might stop flying these soon because i want to go into the airforce or navy to fly fighter jets so i think that will fill my need to fly.

You are aware that it will require a college degree correct? Unless it has changed recently most of the pilot slots went to the academy grads.

yes i do. im trying to get into the airforce academy. but if i cant i'll go to a normal collage and go for a degree in aeronautical engineering, then go into the airforce or navy depending on what i want to fly.

[Gscott]

Best of luck to you. If you don't get into either academy look into the Marine Corp as well. It's been awhile since my brother was accepted to flight school but I believe the Marine Corp aviation slots go to those who do well in OCS.

Hmmm, I was thinking too of the E620 on 6S. I thought it would be OK for my flying capabilities, which are F8's, stall turns, loops, rolls etc. I also still have the odd (too frequent) crash so did not want to run the risk of pooching a $400 battery. Is it pretty much out of the question to run a lower priced 6S battery? Say a 4400mAH 6S until a person gets into more aggressive flying and then jump up to a bigger, better battery? Or, is the 550 pretty much the only option with the 6S setup. I basically didn't want to go with that and then end up upgrading it to the 620 later. I'm sure the upgrade costs are considerably more than buying the 620 in the first place.

You can run the same type setup as the TREX 600, (6s lipo) but you will have the same "issues" the trex has with 4200-4400mah packs.
