There are a lot of factors. If you know how to tune a engine go nitro. You can get a good deal on used raptor 50. It will end up being about 600-700 depending on the setup Ready to go.

Where's a list of what each model of the T-rex 450 has & what is better about each model as you step up?

The problem for making a "step up list" is that you will ten different opinions about what is better from 10 different people. I'll work on it though. Great idea!

I am very interrested in building a scale looking heli,( Hughes 500 A-6 ) just like in the movie Black Hawk Down, My ? is , would the raptor 50 be a good candidate? I have zero interest in 3D helis , so manuverability is not an issue, I think stability for scale flying @ would be the key here.

Century Helicopter Products, is the best effort of a scale fuse I can find. The Thunder Tiger bodies are just a 1piece fiberglass body, as for as I can tell). Th eFunkey and Century bodies are multiple pieces and have Aircraft ply already installed to make putting it all together easier. Also look at Special Operations.com for a look at the real chopper used by the SO.
