OK just kidding. I really don't have anything more to share that you haven't already seen. The only ones I have left I really didn't think were worth posting. With the exception of maby one. The picture of nick's heli with all the electronics on board. But I'll shear them with you any way.

I see the Rave has a torque tube - do you guys think there is a benefit to having a torque tube on this size heli.??? Seems like a belt is the right choice for this size heli. and ease of maintenance like on the bandit.
TT and grass don't mix. I don't see any advantages to using a TT on this size heli. You will be replacing it every crash.

I agree, but the tail on the Rave is very high out in the air and out of the grass from what the pictures show.
Crashes may be a bit of a pain..... we will see when the manual comes out as to how difficult it is the replace the gears. Until then who knows if it takes 5 minutes to fix or 25.
The benefit?.... Well I can see three.
Better autos
More effecient
More locked in tail

Does anyone know what nick's setup is? Looks like gy401, s9257, hs-65s, a scorpion motor and some sort of 3s evolite.

I've herd that they will be offering a kit with the Scorpion 2221-6 and Scorpion ESC.

That would be super sweet. I've seen this little fly in real life and I must say it's fast and impressive.

I seem to remember reading something about them coming out with the Scorpion setup in a second batch also. I'm just guessing that it might have something to do with the availability of the 2221-6 at that time. When I got all the pictures of the what's now being called the Fury 450 a few weeks ago the US distributor for the Scorpion motors was also there. But even he couldn't come up with one to sell me. In fact he didn't even have one to display. There was just a strip of Velcro with a name tag above it where the motor should have been. It may be just wishful thinking but maybe with the latest setback (the name change) for the release of the heli they could offer them with the motor ESC combo in the first shipment???????
