are these Pros and Cons true for the T-Rex 500??

[adam crosby]

I got these off www.trextuning.com, I think it is based in the Uk. Well are they true?
I am interested in knowing as i want to buy a 500.
Pros
Inexpensive for what you get
Good quality considering the price
Looks fantastic
Extremely easy to build, with an excellent manual
Excellent power on the 500L motor
Flies like a T-Rex 600, very 3D capable
Very strong and rigid frames
Appropriate lithium polymer packs are not too expensive for this model
Can run on two T-Rex 450 packs in series
Many different pack configurations are possible
ESC BEC switchable between 5V and 6V



Cons
Soft plastic used for the frame components
Damping is too soft
ESC governor causes tail wag
ESC BEC is suspected of causing a spektrum rx reset due to low voltage
Not a huge amount of room in the canopy for bigger packs
Servo geometry
Canopy has to be trimmed to miss servo push rods
Canopy retaining clip is too wide and causes the canopy to crack
Tail heavy when utilising two T-Rex 450 packs
Really needs a standard tail servo to get the best out of the tail system

I can say yes to all the pros, and yes to the room under the canopy of the cons.

Adam buy the 500 I only had to notch out a small almount to clear the canopy,I have no tail wag (401-9650) and no esc problems. There is not one kit out that is perfect , this is just the new one to pick on. Batteries fit find when using the recommended size and perform is good. People are always going to want squeeze the big block in the small block space.More horses,more torque!

only issue i had was trim a little on canopy for links cant tell i did it

Wish List all metal head and tail ,,, stock works great but i fly in COLD and plastic dont like cold ( flying down to 15-20F )

there are nothing wrong with canopy room for the battery. the whole darn thing design to using 2000-2500 pack .

i am happy 150% with trex500 all stock.
stock esc on 6v and AR6100e have not give any trouble.

2 trex450 (2200/20c) packs balance perfect . event i am gy611 on her, simply slide and mount the battery forward.
2 pack of 2500 the same.

people just not happy till their heli bling out with 5 carats diamond on main blade, custom canopy made Louis Vuitton :)
