I bought some training wheels for my Gaui 550 (which is still stuck in customs).

While I like the way they're constructed (nice and sturdy), with 440 grams they weigh a bit more than I was expecting. Will this be a problem, or will the 550 (1100kv motor and 2 x 3S 3300 mAh packs) be able to hoover normally with this added weight?

The Trex 600 skids I ordered also arrived today. Their size is somewhat intimidating; they're almost bigger than my complete Gaui EP 200...

someone picked up a 5gl bottle of water with the 550...don't worry it can handle it.

The 600 skids give the 550 a much more stable footprint, they also make seeing the heli much easier
