Electronic RC helicopters are simpler and easier to maintain than their nitro counterpart. Less parts also means makes it possible to make smaller scale models. Battery longevity has never been better with the latest Lithium Polymer (LiPo) technology.

Only researched

The T-Rex 450 series is a micro helicopter, slightly larger than the King 2. All carbon frame and metal head and tail parts. The second revisions improved the central shaft, bearings, and some minor details. The 450 series has evolved and improved based on the parent model.

This is a new 200 series micro-helicopter from Align, announced in late 2008. Engineered to the quality expected for a T-Rex. There were a few initial problems with the tail but it was quickly handled and fix with a new metal replacement.

The build requires extra attention to details and precision when setting up the links, angles, aligning, and leveling due to the small scale of the helicopter.

My Kit

  • T-Rex 250 Super Combo
    • Updated tail grip, 1 bearing (instead of 2)
    • CF frame 1.2 mm (instead of 1.0 mm
    • Hex screws 0.9 mm (still old, newer models have 1.3 mm)
  • Spektrum DX7 heli transmitter
  • Spektrum AR6100e 6 channel micro-receiver
  • Outrage and Thunder Power batteries
