I already have a futaba 9c radio, and I could find some packs around,
but what other than the following would i need? :
Heli
century Universal 6ch FM receiver
MPI Crtystal (does it have to be MPI ?)
Gyro (dual gain)
4x Servos
any suggestions? and comments about the heli in general?
Please advise,
Thanks,
Ali

I wouldn't use the century reciever. use the seeker 6 from polkshobbies, or a Berg 6 channel.
Gyro 240 or 401,
Personally the T-rex is an awsome eletric heli. For the same money. easier to setup and parts are cheaper.

I have 2 3D Pro's and they are great little heli's!! they are extremely agile.So I would have to say if this was your first heli its a bad choice, but if you are an experienced heli flier you will get alot of enjoyment out of this little heli.I hear theat the T-REx's are a bit easier to fly out of the box.The head on the T-REX has alot more slop in it than a 3D Pro, but both are exceptional machines.My 3D Pro has a cc35 ESC, 3 hitec HS 56's, one hitec HS 55 for the tail,a Futaba GY401 gyro and a polkshobbies SEEKER 6 RX.That RX is so awesome in this heli, I love not having to buy a crystal for it.My 3D Pro also has an MTM 400DF AXI motor in it that performs very well.The stock brushless motor that come with the kit(with that option)powers this heli very well.I don't reccomend getting the kit that has the ESC and motor, just get the kit that has the motor and buy a CC25 at the very least( i reccomend a cc35 )
