EXI 450

[Grant_beltcp]

has your 2221-8 arrived yet? been running mine nearly a week now and its awesome! Did my best ever blade scrape today on a newly cut cricket pitch. Dirt was being flicked up for between 1-2 seconds:)
I'll try and get a pick of my radix to put up, but theyre covered in grass stains :tongue
Just got out bid on a 600e too :mad: was a bargain at £300 ready to fly

Yeah i have it but i have the -6, havent installed it yet, worried about frying my 35A, waiting until i get the 45A.

As for the 600E, you have to be a sniper on ebay, i am really good at it and good internet connection is a must, its all about just watching the views at the bottom and waiting tell 4 or 5 seconds left and putting in a really high proxy bid that will beat whatever proxy they have (if they even have one) most people just drive up the price by continuously bidding over and over with eachother a buck or two each time... pisses me off.. Always best to not bid at all and just wait tell last seconds then bid really high....

most people that bid if they do a proxy bid they put it maybe 50 bucks more than whats actually shown on ebay at the time, so if it said 300 pounds if they had a proxy it would be 350, and if you bid last minute say 900 pounds, you'll win it for 351 pounds or about 1 pound more than their highest bid.

Also you dont proxy bid (Bid what you would pay maximum) one time, because people who will bid on it will keep getting outbid until they pass the proxy bid you did, again driving up the price....

so always WAIT! and shoot em down in the last seconds where they dont have time to counteract your bid.

I got all excited with the idea of owning an Scopion motor and ESC but the motor is out of stock so I will have to wait to order it with the 45A as well :(

[Grant_beltcp]

Thats exactly what i did, but i guess my £300 limit was just too low.
Ah well. i now own an almost brand new fully ready to go trex 600 nitro:banana
Just picked it up and about to set it up!

[DierWolf]

Update on that motor i showed a page or 2 back..

He took it out for a test run today, and i must say motor is a powerhouse, i even hesitate to say its got more OOMF than the Scorpion HK2213-14.... The climbout rate is Superb and Zero bogging... He's extremely happy with it, think i may pick up a couple more..

So to report, the 350Watts it advertises seems to be correct.

[merlin703]

That's good. I haven't ordered my Scorpion motor yet because noone has it. Do you think I should get this other one or just wait until the 2221-8 V2 is back at the stores? I did order the ESC 45A today :YeaBaby:

[DierWolf]

If your wanting the -8 then stick with the -8 ... this is comparing to the 12-13...

Can anyone confirm that all T Rex 450 V2 replacement parts will work on the EXI 450?
Previous posts indicate the T Rex v2 feathering shaft will work and I see someone (Grant_BeltCP?) has installed a blue maingear, I assume it is a a T Rex v2. Is it safe to assume the main shaft and other crash related items are TR 450v2? Thanks.

[Grant_beltcp]

Everything on the EXI can be replaced for the SE V2 parts.
So far on mine i have used, Main shafts, feasthering shafts, dampers, main gears, one way bearings/bearing holder, booms, tail gearbox, entire head excluding swash, plastic base plate, canopy, flybars, paddles, tail driven gear and more tan likely alot of other parts. I will need to get another picture up soon, and hopefully some video of it too.

[GaryM]

Thank you for the response. I wasn't shure which T Rex version to use for spares as I am not a T Rex owner. BTW, is the Logitech gyro, in your opinion, worth the $US110 or so it costs? I want to try and upgrade the Telebee.

[DierWolf]

Telebee is perfectly fine and 1/2 the price.

[DierWolf]

Something worth keeping an eye on..
