I don't think you'll find more value for money than the funkey fuse's. From what I remember reading there are only slight modifications needed to shoe in the Hirobo.

Check out this chart on Century Heli's website for a comparison on what will fit into what:

You should also check out Crackroll.com, FG's sister site, there's a lot of heli nuts there

It would be great if you could post some pics!

thks
the chart show that size match, mechanics fit very closely. i think i will get the fun-key fuselage. maintenance for a scale body is it hard? like changing the batt or do i need on board glow? my evo 50 is all standard part not metal head . so do i need to upgrade?
here the pic of my evo50

I don't think you would need to upgrade the head, your evo will fly just fine the way it is. As for maintenance, the fuse has a large removeable hatch on the top which provides access to everything. You will still need to take out the mechanics every now and then for maintenance, but it shouldn't be a big deal.

As for the glow adapter, you can use a remote glow adapter such as this one:

One note on the remote glow adapters, which ever one you choose they all wear out after a while and will likely need to be replaced at some point.
