Do I Have to Change Trex 550e V2 Factory ESC???

That is exactly the pack I fly with. I cut off the transmitter plug and soldered an xt60 in its place. You would want to solder an EC3 to match your FBL.

Cool. I just ordered . I see It comes with 3 plugs . The Balance one, transmitter plug and one more. So all I have to do is cut off the transmitter plug and solder the ec3 and leave the other black and red wire plug unused right?

Btw your frame looks nicee!

The 3rd plug is a Futaba style servo connector. I kept it because I thought I might use it, but so far I haven't. I cut the other connector off and did my soldering 1 wire at a time to keep from shorting out the pack.

I like that g10 frame too. Thanks.

I flew the stock 70a esc 3d for probably 500 plus flights. Absolutely no problems.... It finally died after crashing in a pond....
Some of you guys recommending a 120 for this heli?! A little over kill no? I replaced the 70 with a HW 100 and used the bec... again... zero problems. Save your money and don't over complicate your set up.

That is good to know . Im putting an external battery so if the esc fail I still have control and maybe do an auto if something fail. I think I will try the Align ESC and lets see how it works out.
