I have two of them. Super sweet but I'm running a Scorpion HKIII 4025-890kv motor on them and it sings very nice at 85%. Gotta love the brushless servos also. They are very high quality units and slop free. Also the Gpro is very locked in and much easier to setup perfectly. They got the CG right on it too. It's not tail heavy like previous models. I just got the green front canopy and the pics online don't do it justice. It's awesome.

Been enjoying my stock Dominator, plenty of power in that little bird !
Considering changing the Gpro to a Bavarian Demon so I can safely release the beast in it

Don't think so, am using same pack set as for my Trex 800 and they all fit...perhaps people need to adjust the straps which can get in the way.
Venom 5000 / 25 C..is the smaller size
Zippy 5000 /40 C ..is bulky
Gartt 5200 / 45 C..is also bulky
Mad Dog 5000 / 35C..is the longest one

bladeguy5 · 09-28-2014, 09:35 AM

2 things guys

1.when you guys first built the kit did the gear train sound noisey abs ratchet when turned by hand?

2. Also it seems there is no way to adjust the gear nesh

That's very normal. After about the 3rd flight it's amazingly smooth and you'll go.....daaaaaaaaang! Amazing!!!

Looking at all these pics I cant wait for mine to come,

should be here in the next few days

ReadyToCrash · 10-07-2014, 12:52 PM

can someone compare it to logo 550 and trex 600 pro in terms of stability and controllability?
thanks.

truckermusic · 10-09-2014, 11:05 AM

I had mine out last night.

I have to say that I love mine!
It was my third flight.
The build went so smooth and I took my time building it and it was actually fun.

As far as the gear mesh goes. that is correct. you get what you get because the motor mount is one piece of aluminium and then the balance of the shaft sticking out of the top of the pinion slots into an additional bearing block. so the motor is locked into place with the stock components.

But still....nice bird.

Andy S · 10-15-2014, 11:33 AM

I had one of the V2 versions and sold it as i could not get on with it. But this beauty is fantastic. The build went very well, Gpro set up was straight forward and it flies very nicely.

ReadyToCrash · 10-15-2014, 02:05 PM

very nice heli.
now i'm desiring it again.
can someone compare it to 600pro? i'd like to know how the new servo arrangement changed the feel.
thanks.

bladeguy5 · 10-15-2014, 02:32 PM

For $850 get the 550L and if you want to add the 600 boom you can... for the price it's a no brainer HV servos new frame etc......

i was wondering if the 600pro receiver mount would fit the 550l frame.
thanks.

all i need is to change the 600pro main frame for the 550l's.
it would cost me around $200 instead of $850.
