a new SE 325, or just upgrade the old one?

[hawkeye4077]

Hi all, I need some parts for my mini (no upgrades stock motor and esc, carbon main) I was considering the metal upgrades for the main and tail rotor plus some crash stuff (main shaft tail shaft exc…) and a new motor (Z-Power RC 450 TH 3300KV) but I found a good deal for the mini SE on infinity RC for 380$ shipping included, so what do you think guys the difference in the 2 orders will be about +60$ if I get the SE plus some other spare parts, by the way I’m considering a bigger heli maybe t-rex 600 for the next year.

I think that you should hold off on all the upgrades and wait for the Outrage G5 or the CY Rave to come out. I will be selling my Mini-Titan (even though it is nice) and buying one or both of them. The Bandit 450 is cool too but doesn't swing 350mm blades.

that's a nice heli, but as i said i'm planning on a bigger one maybe e620 or trex600 so for now i want to order some parts after a crash, should i go with the SE kit and part it or order the parts i need only?

Hell Hawkeye, I'd just buy a metal head and not worry about the rest of the bits. You don't really need them.

I went with the Kasama head and am still running all the plastic stock tail bits and it's a beast, monster cyclic, the tail holds like a champ, will do piroflips and piro loops and tick tocks all day.

Get a metal head, spare main shaft, main gear, and go!

If you're really concerned about matching a factory specified SE spec, just buy an SE and keep your existing bird for parts. But if you're concerned just about performance, upgrade the plastic head and go :)

My MiniTitan experience with an awesome plastic-framed heli led me to a Logo 500, which was my first big heli, and I love it.
