how much weight can a t-rex 450 support ?

[matchfly]

Im planning to put a camera on my rex, but this one weight 260g, and the dimensions (W×L×H): 71*73*44 mm.

So I know that the canopy is out!!!
For Compensation if i just trim, would be fine?
the t-rex can handle this weight?


THANKS.

I've done that weight under my old 450XL. It flew heavy but it handled it. I tried 300g and while it did it, it was hard work.
Go for the 335mm blades The extra lifting is worth it.

If you are still using the 400LF motor, you may be pushing too hard. I did mine with the 420LF.

Try to get your balance as close as possible to normal though, as they really don't like it too far forward.
Good luck

I all ready have some 335mm blades, and for do the balance im planning to put the battery on the back of the engine.
What align motor do u recoment remmenber that i have the castle creations 35 and i check and the motor is a 430l not the 400lf. this one will be okay?

Thanks.

I haven't seen the CC esc. It might pay to ask in the 450 forum. I'm now using the new Align 430 motor and it pulls very well.

The CC35 is fine. If you don't have the motor yet, I can recommend the Zpower 450TH which has more grunt than the Align 430L. If you run an 11T pinion, you will be able to swing the 335 blades easier. My Trex450 AP ship weighs 1165g with AP2000i, Pentax Optio A10

The 450TH is a great motor. Perfect for the 335 blades.

How many watts is the 450TH? I'm running a 450HD (Helidirect in Massachussetts) 320 watts, 3550kv. More 'nads than the Align. 335 carbons also from Helidirect ($28.00). I think this motor is a lot torquier than the Align. This combo lifts a 9.2 ounce Fuji E900 9MP and my homemade alum and CF gear with no problems. I run this motor in my sport 450 XL and find it hard to bog even on 13T. Head speed will decay some but 3000 to start is FUN.
