I no Outrage have the G5 but do you recon they'd bring out something to make me sell my trex450 Pro ie 3s 2200mha spec.
I'm pretty sure Charlie could design a stonking 450 :-)

The usual response is that the 450 market is already flooded with models, and that R&D to produce one may not be cost effective, plus it would be cloned within a couple weeks after release anyways.

Although it would probably be a great heli though!

what is wrong with the g5? that is a 450 size model?

cheers

DRM Black7 · 11-07-2010, 04:37 PM

The prob with the g5 is doubling up 1300 3s packs.
I just think Outrage can really become Market leaders with a 450 for the masses :-)
The G5 doesn't do it for me and I've read a lot about it :-(

there is nothing stopping you running the g5 on 3s 2200mah if you so wish-just motor it accordingly.

cheers

2nd that ^^^^^
If your doing your homework, just about every thread out there has references to 3s 2200 setups and that they work just great.
On the other hand I cant understand what is appealing about a 3s over 6s setup...

6S benefits

low headspeed
less wear on parts due to low HS
longer flight times 7+ min
near perfect effeciency
doesnt even get warm

so why are you apprehensive? I just don't understand?

You can find apparently decent 6S 1300mAh batteries for like $22. No need to use 2 1300mAh 3S packs

At the mo running a O550 on 6s and a pro on 3s.
And 1 cellpro 10s
If I went g5 on 6s that defo means another charger another Motor another Esc and Lipos.
Plus find a Job lol
Not sold yet I suppose it's the Align connection between G5 and V1/2 puts me off :-(
The only thing similar to a G5 I've seen was a rather nasty early rotaworks conversion that a mate had uwww.

The g5 will run just fine on a regular ol' 450 setup, I got mine to replace my worn pro and dropped everything fine. Same flight time and better performance on a slightly lower headspeed. Charlie already designed an awesome 450, it's just old news now. Here's my 3s g5
