[Jetleaf]

Is Gaui listening? Not Carbon fiber but a different option

Thanks Gaui:thumbup:

Looks like those blades will fold up like the mod Gr4y did. Gr4y get's the Cattle Prod award for inovative design. :thumbup:

[J-Heli]

What are they made from? Is it the same old plastic material?

[Jetleaf]

It says FRP, which is Fiber Reinforced Plastic unless I am mistaken. It's a new stock number and $21 for a pair so they better be different.

the black align "carbons" were like that I think, I reserve judgement until I test them, but so far the woodies are my preference.

Now Gaui is going too far. You can get a Gaui 550 cheaper than a 200 and the 550 woodies are around $20. Can you say price gouging?

$21.50 :badair:

They look way to much like the stock plastic ones to my liking.

If anyone gets them, please let us all know how they perform.

I'll answer everything in disorder....

1. <cattle prod award????> I'm honored, I think, till I call 'me mouthpiece... ;-)


b. I'll get the new blades asap, and report, but refer to item #7


III. I'll get Phoenix asap, and join formation, but refer to item #7


2a. Flew my 200 all weekend, delightful! It's now very stable, rock solid tail with the 2100. 800 3's rock, but Absolutely Hammered all systems with my new 1320 FP 3's. I am extremely pleased. Took "Crash-Test Dummy" (Blade 400) out and promptly had to replace a divot. *#%@^ servos are'nt worth squat.
I'm gonna pull the 401 off the 600 and have got some hs65mgs/9650 to go on this thing. $300 worth of electronics on a $200 plastic heli, (urp!)


7. You may ask why I did'nt get another 200? Well, Crash-Test is practice for the 'rex 450se, the 'rex 450se is practice for the 200!!!

...and I love my baby...

Sorta broke this week, and still sorting whether to get the TT or another Belt...


XI. Vote! Should Johnny Depp's stuntman get the TT or another Belt drive????

[Buzzkill]

I love the TT but stripping the gears is frustratingly reminisant of the see-saws so I am considering going back to belt after I burn up the parts ReadyHeli is shipping soon.

[Jetleaf]

If you do get the shaft, definitely change the landing gear to get the tail up off the ground. I am still running my original gears on the shaft. I did change the tail shaft because the gear was slipping but not stripped.:YeaBaby:




Oh god I hope I didn't just jinx myself.

[R0t0R]

Just curious, What would you suggest for a different landing gear? Is the one on the SE different from the SD? I'm still trying to decide on what version to get and what spares to order.

[Buzzkill]

Get the CF gear. Tough as hell. I've only broke one set on three Gaui's in at least 20 crashes.
