I saw one in person and decided not to buy it, even at the $80 they were offering it. It is very, very flimsy. If you're planning on using it to go from the house to the field it would be "OK", but anything more and it wouldn't be.....

Im a truck driver and travel with mine everywhere I go. It is definately more flimsy than my Align 450 case was but is plenty sturdy for traveling. Thats even after cutting alot of the foam out to add my AC power supply and 610 charger. I got mine from Helihobby and thats the only place I have seen it yet.

Modda" Trex 500 case...available
Got mine from Heli Hobby and it took less than a week to get. The case makes it easy to carry everything for the 500 with 5 packs and tools , plus 2 packs for my 600. Its not made for shipping your heli in . Handles , wheels and latches work well. I opened my case at the field and my 500 had a girl , it had a Walkera 52 between the boom and blades.

Ok these Modda cases are proving to be very hard to get a firm date on when we will have them in stock.
We will have cases for the Trex 500 in 1 or 2 weeks but not Modda. I seen a link to them they look very cool! I will give the details as soon as I have them. Apparently we will have a tote for a 600 size too and thes also look cool. I need one of both myself. Edit: Modda cases near the end of the month.

Holy crap, they've raised the price twice since they were waiting for stock.
They are in stock right now, get them while they last. But.... You get stabbed in the heart with $45 usps shipping. Oh well, it's the only case around that truly fits. |

That's because they raised the price on us and they raised the shipping to us. Supply and demand I guess but yeah the case is very nice. Not saying anything bad about this vendor I understand that's the way it goes.

I really like the Modda case but it's not all metal, so i wouldn't put this in the hands of the airlines baggages guys. . I when with this case as another helifreak had posted. If the Modda was all alumuimn and alittle strong built would be Great.
here's 4 on ebay.com http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...270%26_fvi%3D1
