T-Rex Parts - The Heli Kit

The first item I bought was the helicopter kit itself. There are many versions of the kit as there are many different iterations of the T-Rex. I opted for the "Superior Edition" version which comes with the carbon fiber frame, CNC aluminum Head, CF paddles, etc. This kit also came with the 450L motor and 35G electronic speed controller.

I was fortunate enough to find this kit on ebay for $400 instead of the current market price of around $489.oo. There are some better pictures on rchover.
It is not a good idea to buy already built kits on Ebay as you don't know what you are getting. Mine was just a kit and I also looked at the pictures of the packaging from the seller and comapared it to a legitimate SE V2 kit. (there are counterfeits out of Hong Kong all over Ebay)

Money in the pit:
T-Rex kit from Ebay $400.00

Total so far $400
