Im hungry, where are the new 700's?

[DominicD]

Had a 570, nice machine but not really a 50.

The 630 is a truck and not a 50 at all.

Nothing about the synergy is interesting for me.

Had a 6HV and loved it, the 6HVU really changes the direction and I don't care for it at all.

I had an Outrage V50, loved the machine but when they changed the materials of the gears it was all over.

[B.Ewing]

The 6hvu rocks. Everyone loves their logo 600s too. The synergy e5s may not be exciting but its solid, reliable, well supported, and flies great!

[DominicD]

The logo 600 is the only option i would consider at the 50 size with the current market, but the problem is the 690 isn't much more money so ....

RJX Vector Sport another new kid on the block

I heard a rumor from a reliable source that they're working on a tray system for the DT600 and 700. Imagine the tight weight distribution of a saddleback combined with the quick swap-and-go convenience of trays.

RJX is a dirty word at our club, they would disown me

They make a really nice HV tail servo at a reasonable price.

Every 700 or 600 should have some kind of a tray system

Why?

I've never had a tray in any of my 700's and it has never been an issue.

Slide one 12S stick in, tighten a couple velcro straps, plugin in the batteries and fly!

Both my TDR and Banshee had plastic tubing covering the aluminum tubes and with a little pressure from the velcro straps battery sticks stay put no matter what you throw at them.

Saddle packs by design should not need a tray unless the design is a poor one.

Adding battery trays just creates more crap to deal with. A good design should never need them.

[DaveHolland]

Trays are nice but not needed with saddle packs. Its very easy to swap packs that way. If they are in end to end not using a 12s stick pack requires a tray of some sort to easily swap packs.

[smwht]

The TT E700 spoiled me, don't need to take the canopy off to swap packs. Limited motor selection, though, and you can't run >700 blades. (stock at least)

What about nitro, or maybe it's time for a gasser.

Had a few sabs and an align, dont like rush, x7 interested, md7 noisy and dont like, ma no way haha.

Big thing is the heli staying together on 14s

If you have money to burn why not build something a little different, jam a turbine in something, tdr?

I agree. When you own multiple 700 helis a tray is stupid


Strap it to a tray to then slide it in and strap to a heli??? Makes no sense to me

[907Heli]

Synergy E7. Otherwise it's nitro, gas, or multirotor then lol.

[DaveHolland]

The Rush held together just fine on 14s, though the new company, Evolution Helis is a little questionable.

[GimpyGolden]

Updated Agile 7.2 is available. Has big belt to handle 14S+ power.
Easy to swap packs, saddle style no tray.
Also a 3 blade head in the pipe if interested.
