I have just ordered a Trex 600 nitro canopy so I will let you know as soon as it arrives....I have been told these fit? only one way to find out....will post outcome and pics soon.

Got the trex 600 glass canopy today and it fits straight up to the top JR mounting pins, the lower front ones don't contact the body whidh is good. All I need to do is make up a small bracket on the bottom to hold the nose up as my gyro is forward mounted and the canopy rests on top of it. Looks heaps better than the stock one.

Yep, looks a treat and fits like a glove, the only thing I did was make a small bracket for underneath to keep the canopy level and off the gyro as I have the gyro mounted in front of the rotorhead. It screws to the bottom of the canopy and hooks over the front lower beam foward of the tank. I can email pics if needed.

phantom, is there any scale kits availible for the venture 30, as i do also have one and it's not real power ready so i thought about a body kit

only scale bodies I have seen so far that might come close are for 50 size so the tail boom will be too short, I looked at this idea as my trex 450 had a nice hughs 500 body, thought the vent 30 would be a stunner as well. To convert would mean a raptor 50 boom and drive belt, but with just the os 32 i think the extra weight might make her struggle?????
as for packaging the mechinical I'm not sure.
