Enjoy!

Wow that headspeed sounds really high !

alan szabo jr · 03-21-2012, 11:32 PM

I've been told the upgrade DFC head should be available between 2-3 weeks.

DesJardins · 03-21-2012, 11:37 PM

Will it require a revised main shaft also?

Thank you for sharing! Excellent, I have a 550 DFC and is amazing!

highlightshadow · 03-22-2012, 02:39 AM

Yeah. Hope they learned the design lessons from the other dfc heads they've now admitted were wrong.

Assuming the only benefits of this are for more hardcore manoeuvres?

inner3 · 03-23-2012, 02:17 AM

I actually found this video before this post! So are you flying with the 3GX system or a different flybarless unit? Trying to get things figured out before I get a Trex 450. Maybe I should wait for this head to be available, but does anyone know if they will include the head with any kits?

alan szabo jr · 03-23-2012, 02:20 AM

Im not sure if they plan on doing it in different colors.

Im using the 3GX with the new firmware 2.0 in this video.

bchrny · 04-22-2012, 07:10 PM

Good flying!!! Camera work is a little lacking, still better than I could do-well maybe,lol. All in all, 4 stars

P.S. are you available for some free lessons???

djawesome · 07-11-2012, 07:41 PM

hello i have a question and i was wondering if you guys could help me i cant figure out between t rex 450 pro super combo fb or t rex 500 pro super combo fb

jetfinn · 07-16-2012, 05:10 PM

Hello. i have just start building an pro 450. i was also buying the 3gx system for it. But like other bigger heli, sometimes the ball is placed in another hole when using flybarless. , this is not mentioned any place for the 450 , should i use the standard hole for fl setup as for flybar.
anyway Thanks for any help in here. great forum.

lankey · 03-23-2012, 03:29 AM

Alan

Does the DFC head have any negative effects with link geometry?

inner3 · 03-23-2012, 10:55 AM

That's the info I was looking for! I told my hobby shop to order the 450 3GX, can't wait to get started on the build sometime next month.
Alan, are you competing this year at XFC? I plan on going for my first time. Saw Burt last week at the Birmingham fun fly and he's done competing, just doing R&D now. But he flew a lot that Saturday which was awesome. Actually there was a lot of great flying that weekend, I learned a lot.

TipSpeed · 03-26-2012, 09:06 AM

Looks sweet! Can't wait to get mine! Good thing I didn't upgrade my 450 pro to FBL yet.
