Yes I'm looking for belt only no TT or main gears. Like the chase 360

Then I think you are down to the Warp or the Mini-Protos.

Guys, I went with the Chase 360. The kit was very easy to build although the Manual wasn't all that great. I relied heavily on the Build thread and was able to work through any issues I ran into. As far as quality, seems they have stepped up and addressed all the issues I read about before buying. Plenty of extra hardware just in-case you drop a screw ant it get swept out with the trash.
PROS:
So smooth. I absolutely love the quiet vibration free sound of a well designed Heli spooling up.
Center of Gravity is spot on. No rolls and flips issues due to nose heavy or low CG.
Very well made aluminum carbon fiber components.
Head design and servo lay out will be the new industry standard

Cons:
Must have experience in building heli kits. The manual is poor and is only available in digital format.
Cheap linkages on the Swash plate. I found that getting the blades to track correctly was a choir and now they are loose and have some slop in them

Nice to know as i allso have just got a Chase 360 kit myself.
The box with hardware is pure nerd porn.

Interested in seeing how you think it compares to the Forza.
