Which goblin to get next: 570 or 630?

[MotorG525]

Put it in the trunk and fold down one seat, that's how I do it when I borrow my girlfriends Sentra. Otherwise if your car has a ski bag in the center back seat it makes a perfect tail boom holder

Where theres a will theres a way. I have slid my Logo 800 through the back door and in between the seats and down into the floor area of the passenger front seat with the tail hitting the roof at the rear passenger area behind the drivers seat, (AND squeezed a 700 in there to boot!) when my wife uses my truck. A 700 should fit if thats your only concern. Grab someone elses and try it. I use bags on my helis so they are supported more than one without. For a 700, slide the passenger seat forward, put the head on the floor in the back seat and let the tail point to the roof on the other side. Or try what Motor said. It should work. If it really can't, a 630 is a great runner up. For most of us, the quest never ends until we get a 700, and then we still have to have more! I'd bet that if you buy the 630, within less than a year, and probably less than 6 months, you'll buy and find a way to fit the 700. We are like moths to a flame!

You can do what I do and put a 700 in a heli bag and angle it up across the back seats so it fits. I put both my 700s across the back seat that way. No excuse now lol

Yeah my trunks full of my car tools and parts. Live in an apartment and I don't want those oily dirty stuff in my closet. My car get packed up as it is with my 550x, 450x, g380 and a bunch of planes and multirotors. But maybe I can find a way.

So is everyone saying just get the 700 over the 570?

[guyguerra]

Both , no really, my buddy has a 700 and it's a bad &$$ machine! I have the 570 and it gets a lot of use, but that's because it's my only 6S, so I can use split batteries. Today I was flying longer than I thought so I had a choice of 2 12S flights or 4 6S flights. I took the extra 4 flights. You sound like you'd go 12S, which I built one of those with my brother. Either way, a 570 is a nice machine, I wouldn't trade mine for anything, BUT, the 700 really is bad &$$! Gotta remember, it's just a hobby lol. A decision like this would keep me fretting before and after the purchase, but it won't be your last one. Grab one and enjoy.

I had to edit this. Real opinion, based on every heli I have and the 570's I've built and 700 I see all the time, hands down, if you can afford it, get the 700. It's an awesome machine. That's my vote.

[Djentangle]

Man I keep going back and forth. Everyone makes good points and I think I'll leave it to my budget. Right now I can afford the 700 or 570 with a couple of planes. Later on it would probably take me longer to be able to afford the 700.

[cjpainten]

Buy the 700 now and you won't have to buy it later... I remember buying a 630 to save a few $ but in the end I sold the 630 and bought a 700 anyway. Buy cheap, buy twice... Remember that

[xahhax]

I don't see the 630 as a cheap 700.
It is a class of its own.
I love mines and they smack much better than my 700.
Great machine IMHO.

I had the exact same decision to make as you . my friend bought the 570 and likes how it flies , so that pushed me to get the 630, I don't regret the decision . for once I can say that it flies like a much smaller heli, by which I mean its very responsive and feels as nimble as my 450 . but still floats like a bigger heli should in auto's etc . whichever one you decide on i'm sure you wont be disappointed

Its not... I actually wish I kept the 630... My point was that eventually you will want to get a 700

I find the 630 as a little bit of a missfit.. it was 700 for me without question. My 500 i could always stretch to a 550 but for now I love it as a 500... the void im now missing is a smooth ass rpping sub 500... the x3 is awesome but i flew a 380 and it was a blast....

Everyone has their own preference mine is having a large, medium, smaller and smallest.. The large IMO needed to be a 700.. i drive a Chevy Cruise and can fit my 48in plane (leave on wings), g700, g500, x3 with all my fiend gear and two folding chairs... there are ways to make it work

[xahhax]

Large is 770 :-)

I understand both points of view. As the proud owner of a 630C (~185 flights), I find the perceived "misfit" quality attractive, and if I may say, a little cult-ish following for the 630. Some people like it, some people don't. I love mine, as I find the unique combination of high headspeed, crazy Goblin sound when pushed hard, and "not on every street corner" lack-of-commonality desirable.

Although this is the only Goblin I've owned, I've flown them all except the 770, and each has its own specific niche, and often devoted following.

[xahhax]

Indeed. The 700 is powerful and gracious. In comparison,
the 630 is brutal and nervous. The machine calls for been pushed to limits. I really like mines.
I also like the other gobs (I only miss the 570 and 770) but the 630 is really my favorite. I just suits my style the best. and that's why i have 2

Awesome. Congrats. I was just like that when I got my 380 and I know I will be all school girl like when I get my next.

Totally changes how I looked at rc helicopters, for the better. My wallet may disagree
