Wonder if TT will make an SE version of the Mini T

[OICU812]

So winter is abound here, only flying will be indoor for me and that will be a here and there option as well.

At any rate... been looking into another micro to mess with for some indoor buisness. I see there are now several seperate upgrades for the Mini T.

Anyone have any inside info on whether or not there is a real chance to buy a SE version of this heli with metal head and tail?

I do not want to mess around with epoxy the head block and all that jazz, I want it to be solid out of the chute.....

Anyone with some intel or thoughts on this...?

[LITHIUMSTATIC]

Well Shawn I've been playing with this heli for about 6 months now and i got to tell you it's a blast. I don't know of any SE kits coming out but can give you a run down of what I did and my setup.

65MG cyclic
JR 3400G & 401 tail
NEU 1107H/2Y
11 tooth pinion...... may be going to a 12 soon.
Align 220mm SUS flybar
K&B Stiffies on the tail
Microheli swash, flybar levers & washout
G-Force flybar cage
Align T-Rex450 upper mixing levers (Use them cause they were free)
Changed all the balls and links to M2 (Align T-rex450 balls and links)
Youngblood blades...... going to V's or Align CF soon.
Flightpower 4s 1800 Lipos
CC 35 ESC
Medusa potencia 6v BEC
My tail is ALL stock TT plastic other than the metal TT tail pulleys front and back.

You don't need the epoxy anything like with the early kits. TT has revised a few things since last December so the kit is nice right out of the box..... cheap too. The last I heard the TT was still using the crap upper and lower mixing levers that flex way to much.

I know how you fly and like to flog the hell out of it so I highly recommend some sort of metal head. Kasama seams to be what everyone likes. I know you had a bad experience with Kasama stuff in the past but maybe they got this one right. :dontknow I'm still using the TT plastic headblock and grips and need to change these to metal too. On a budget with the Mini-Titan since the Logo came along. Anyways it takes lots of abuse for a plastic frame heli. Really holds up well in a good crash. It's cheap to fix and you can't help but laugh your ass off as it diggs it's own grave.

The design of the heli is rather simple with about half the parts of the T-rex450 and much easier to assemble. The tail is a nice modular setup and makes removing the tail section a snap. The kit has lots of phillips head screws.

This heli is a tad bit larger than the trex450. I've been told the Trex450 is a snappier faster heli.

This heli really starts to shine when you get the headspeed on up to 3400 and use some light weight paddles.... from what I've been told.

With my setup I abuse the hell out of it, loops, rolls, flips, tic-tocs and a few other things I don't have names for. It keeps coming back for more.

For my personal opinion I think the trex 3d's better and it is less expensive to crash but the mini titan is a very nice little heli but it is heavy it is a good 6-7ounced heavier than my trex se. I was going to sell it and go back to flying my trex's as my primary but helidirect just made some very cool upgrades and I got all excited so now I'm keeping it! If I can shave some weight off the titan it may 3d as well as the trex....

[EricW]

First of all I have no experience with the T-rex.
So correct me if i'm using the wrong cavity to talk with ;)
But the most important factor IMO is Power to weight ratio and resulting flight characteristics, not just comparing weight.
The MiniT can be made as agile as you like with the right motor / pinion and ESC combination IMO.
Than what's left is flight characteristics in 3D...
(wish i could already say something usefull about that,...:o)
How does it roll, tail responce, pyro, backward etc. etc. etc.

Not?

Trex has a quicker roll out of the box if its a v1. My mini titan has a higher headspeed than my trex and it still does not have the pop the trex does, but to me it flies good in a totally different way. The mini titan feels like a larger heli.

Mostly likely that will be a SE version hitting your store by end of this year.

[modena]

Mt Se :)

[hazy]

Not much changes to the current fully blinged Mini titan,except for some cosmetics changes.

[ghtracey]

Mt Se :)

Not a lot of changes it seems, other than it includes all the CNC parts. I wonder what the "black carbon" bits are, I see black landing gear. Any guess how much more it will cost?

[EricW]

No idea but it looks like the same landing gear only in black this time.
If they are honest it should cost a little less than a white one...
Black colorant additives for plastics are much cheaper (+- 400%) than white..:lol:
Guess it will cost the same.
Nice heli though :)

Look like TT is lack of one thing from Align TREX 450 even with SE version.A carbon frame..

[ghtracey]

Perhaps, but then again, the existing plastic frame has never been a weak spot, in fact I've only ever read good things about the frame design. If it was CF, it would have to be the "layered" style instead of the nice 2pc plastic one they have now.

[mx400]

I dont like carbon fiber frames. Helidirect has a sweet g10 frame out now.

[tailStrike]

Yeah, the frame is like a tank - the two halves interlock and then there are relatively few self-tapping screws to hold them together. Much easier to work on than a million screws and nuts like is typical on a CF frame.

If you want a CF frame you can buy one today as it has being available for quite sometime.

If you add the CNC head from TT, G-Force or Kasama you've got your 'SE' version

If you prefer Kasama:
You need 0044 and 00034

In short you don't need to wait anything..
