Well compared to My T-Rex helis which have near perfect wiring, the most flown heli in my inventory also has the messiest wiring job. I am going to install my new AR6100 RX and program my DX7 to operate this heli, there will be alot less wiring mess, but I was kinda proud how bad this looks and how well it flies.

Lol, that picture cracked me up.

If you don't mind me asking, what motor and battery do you use?
Also, what landing gear is that? Do you use a different or modified frame?

Thanks!

Running a Hacker 3700 KV motor with a Phoenix 10 ESC. Flying mostly with a TP 1320 3 cell for FF and hovering, for the tricks I break out the TP 3 cell 910. The landing gear is the super gear from helidirect.

The AR6100 is great, its so small and gets rid of all the antenna wiring.

Dang Jedi thats one nicely wired CP, just got my AR6100 wired in and the heli flying again..works superbly. Still have a rats nest in there, T-rex photo for comparison. Looking between yours and mine I have alot more wires to contend with, added brushless motor , ESC, Remote Gain Gyro and the Y harness. Hard to find spots for all these wires, but I will figure something out.

Unfortunately my rex is just about as bad as my Blade :dontknow
I just hate taking the time to Wire things... I know its not much of a job, but I would rather spend the time flying unless the wiring causes problems for me.... although most likey I would just tie wrap it to something else to see if its fixed :wink:

Yeah that's alot of wires on this little bird. Your TREX looks clean!
Maybe you can shorten some of them...I've never taken the time to shorten any of the wires on my Blade or TREX, mainly because i'm afraid i'll mess somthing up!

No, the wire from my gyro was getting dangerously close to the rotor when I roll it so i zip tied it to the boom support :D
