Hey guys, I am just jumping in the middle of this discussion- hope my responses haven't already been said.
As for the "bling" stuff- only get what is actually useful- i.e. structural improvement. I have actually seen a raptor with so many shiney bits on it that you could barely fly it around. It was a full pound heavier than it came stock because of all the "bling". Remember guys, it is all about "Bling CONTROL" !!!
Neo- if you are wanting the ultimate in electric helicopters in a size bigger than the t-rex, but smaller than a 50 nitro, Hirobo is coming out with the Lepton next month. It is going to have around 425mm blades, which puts it smack dab between the 30 nitro and T-Rex. If you want more info, I will send a link.
