Anyone into R/C?

He might have 700 in it, but that doesn't really mean anything. Unless it's absolutely pristine you're not going to get 370 out of it. If you're not hurting for money and want to get into the hobby, doesn't seem like a bad deal though.

If you're trying to make money, I'd say no.

 

not really, its like working on a small car

 

This is the truck in question he wants a straight trade

 

Can't tell much from that picture, but like I said. If you want to get into R/C it probably wouldn't be a bad deal. Ask him to fire it up and try it out, make sure it runs good. And always, be as jewish as possible about any deal you make.

 

thats just what ive heard. ive never had one

 

BeastX is stupid easy to setup. I love it. On my 600 I did nothing other than adjust my tail gain and it was dead on! Once you go FBL, its hard to fly barred again.

 

thats good to hear.

 

Six axis gyro?

 

3 axis, left/right, foward/back, and tail piro

 

How many rpm do those blades spin at??? Wow. How flight time do you need and Money to get that good.

 

If you have to ask....

 

The blades spin slower the bigger they are. I think I have my 600 rpms up around 2100-2200. My 500, I have no clue yet, but it should be around 2800rpm. My 250 sounds like a pissed off humminbird and should be around 5000rpm, never clocked it though. Fly simulators to get good. Phoenix costs around 100 bucks, uses your existing controller. I started doing piro flips in the sim, then one day when I was flying my 250, forgot I was flying the real thing and starting doing piro flips on accident. Realized I could actually do these things, haha

 

the castle ice hobbywing and kontronik have gov's on them and are adjustable.

 

Gov's are standard these days, I hate them though, makes it hard to program the gyro. I just run flat throttle numbers now.

 

Cool. I think I need the simulator

 

I have one and love it....

 

Can you get it for PS3?

 

no.

get realflight G6 or Pheonix.

they come with a style REAL transmitter.

Oh no, I have the Phoenix sim. It comes with a decent radio, or you can get it without a radio, and buy a nice radio that you can bind to your bird and fly with it in real life (can do this with the dx5e that comes with it too).

 

Nothing for Mac?!?!? Those two sims are for PC
