Looking for a 550/600 bare bone kit.

Have a SK-720BE/GPS-1 combo with HV servo setup, just looking for a kit that is decent and not too expensive to throw around this season while learning the Skookum system. Pickings for decent barebone in the 500/550/600 sizes are slim (I think due to drones being more popular at the present time).

RCMart has the Innova TDT 550 @$199.99 and 600 @$229.99 otherwise known as V2 or FBL.

Anything wrong with these birds? Not looking for a $1000 Corvette, just a decent frame to learn the SK-720BE/GPS without breaking the bank.

I see parts might be a an issue, but for $200...I'll just buy a second frame as a crash kit

Of course the =$75 shipping per kit is little much...

Ask Atomic Skull, I think he's got an Innova.

The Chase at least is great, and I've heard the Agile 5.5 is not bad but the 7.2 tends to eat belts.

BTW you don't need a big machine to try the 720. The Chase has a pretty big area for mounting the flybarless system, though you might have to put the GPS on the boom.

innova is an old series the pinion mesh must be set up right

The agile series is way better and I think they still have the special buy a 7.2 and get a 5.5 free....

I did ask Atomicskull about several options including the Innova. Another option was the DT520, but sound like the drones have pushed that out of prodction.

While the combo sound great, I only want the 550.

The V2 injection moulded maingears are stronger than the original ones. They also have almost no wobble or runout. I have an 11T pinion and a small amount of backlash set on my Innova 700 and it survives hard full collective pitch pumps with no problems.

I see description says: Weight w/o power.. Means weight without Lipos, motor and esc?
