Is it time to retire

[spiccolli99]

I have a 500esp 600n 700n all bought from 2009-2011. The 500 is still running because I haven't broke/had to replace parts yet. The 600n I cant find the original 170t main gear or auto rotation gear. Do I just hang it up?! Seriously! I have been in hibernate mode for a while ,but to come back and find its obsolete. Is there an upgrade? Do I need to convert the head to fbl? Help!

I'll sell you all my old T600N stuff for the price of shipping + $20.

I think there are a few of the main & autorotation drive gears in gray and white in the box too.

Is there an upgrade?

There is always an "upgrade"

Do I need to convert the head to fbl?

No.
But, you could if you wanted to .
It's an "upgrade"

$20.00? Any pics? I would consider!

What do I need to upgrade to keep it? I have been in limbo for way to long. My helis are out of date and have the bug again

there a few parts to upgrade, I'm setting mine up as a DFC head, My 550 is DFC, and flies incredible. If you need a parts list, pm me, I'll put it together, ~ $150 +blades

Its my 600 nsp flybar

You can find parts, I still fly my flybarred Trex 600N from 2012.


The main gear is a problem unless upgrade, find old stock or go with aftermarket parts.

Yeah!! Dude,I cant tell you how much search I did and find nothing or wrong parts. What's the deal with the upgrade? Slant gears? I would like to keep this bird flying since theres really no issues with it. Its been crashed maney times!
Build,fly,crash:repeat! I've learned everything I know on my 600nsp and when I do crash I'm ok with building/ fixing. The electronics work just fine and dont want to convert. I'm in the works building a G570 but would still love to whip the old heli out since it was my favorite for the longest time. Thanks for the check!

The upgrade was for the auto hub. Once they changed the auto hub they had to change the main gear and auto gear. The slant gear(s) is for the electric 600, they upgraded the 550, 600, 700 around the same time all to slant gears and now share motor pinions, all to mod 1 to handle the added power of the newer motors.
If you spend enough time reviewing the Align parts website you can make sense of it all.

Fly the hell out of it. Thats what rex600n do!! If you have the old one way and it works your lucky. Cant remeber how many we went threw back in the day.Even with a lowly 50sx they never lasted long. Get the new hub/main gear and fly it till you wreck some parts in the head that you cant get any more and then throw a fbl head/controller on and fly some more. Your probly not gonna find any belted tail parts either so be ready to swap to tork tube if that happens. Theres still a lot of parts left and alot of the newer 550 stuff will work also so no issue with keeping her alive for awhile.

I have a 500 esp with a dfc head on it. No problems with parts but 425 blades are getting kinda hard to find.
I also have a 700n. Dfc and new xhead fit great. Plenty of parts still out there. Will be alive for ever in one form or another.
