trex 800 landing gear

Will the landing gear from the trex 800 fit on a 600esp?

No it won't, the 800 landing gear is longer so the holes are too far apart (front to back).

oh man that sucks, the trex 800 landing gear is so cool looking. thanks for the reply.

Why not just drill new holes?

i could drill new holes. would the 800 skids look stupid on the 600?

The skids are way too long for the 600ESP. Drilling new holes is not an option. I really like these skids and bought a set for my original 700N which I have had since 2008. Contrary to what the description says, they did not fit this either. The length was right but the width was out. I drilled new holes to make them fit and they looked great. 1 week later I drilled the heli into the ground and destroyed most of it, but the skids remained intact! I wanted to put them on my 600ESP but no go, so they are going on my new 700N DFC instead!

yes it will fit.... i put one on my trex 600n 3g and its looks nice

just be careful...
I mounted the T800 skids on a T700 and in the original design Align has a full metal plate at the bottom... this provides enough strength for the skids to hold the force of landing...

Of course I did not have the metal bottom plate and every time I would not land as soft as a feather... I stripped the bolts holding the skids...
Twice I put it down "rough"... and both times I ended up changing the side plate of the helicopter as the little aluminium grip holding the skids to the side frames simply broke off the piece of the side frame...

rather expensive venue for a cool look...
