Damn, that always happens. Oh well, the SEv2 is sweet, I got a great deal, so I'm not too disappointed, hopefully the 500 will use the batteries from the 450, so the $300 I dropped on packs can transfer.

Well, if thats the case... can you go purchase an Avant EFX so the Aurora will come out???

Bob makes some good points. I had been considering asking about pre-oders, but it won't do any good to have 500 if you can't readily get parts for it. I recall the SEV2 guys waiting a long time.

Kyna assured me that Assurance R/C is NOT Align, despite the mislleading website name they have chosen. This when I asked for some minor compensation for the FG code blades destroying my 600.

I was under the assumption that the main advantage of a "500" size helis is that you can use TWO of your "450" size batteries hooked up in series. It seems logical to me from a business standpoint that Align would conform to this "standard" because they want to "coax" their immense "450" audience into the next level up (besides the pricey 600E) and not alienate them by forcing them to buy new bigger and more expensive packs. We all know how "great" the Align packs are! (note sarcasm)

I'd also like to note that you're all a bunch of impatient bastards! This coming from a person who just bought a 600N Pro because he couldn't wait for the 500!

at least that "sounds" cheaper than 90,000 yen!

I found the kits from various companies, JR, hitec, etc.. around 799 - upwards of 1400.

i found 1 kit that runs 16 digital servos!!!!

without a PC and lots of programmable mixers it would be impossible to do anything fun realtime with a Tx unless you spend $$$

Oldboy · 09-25-2007, 04:13 PM

Id like to see the 500, but i like the size of the 450 so far...
That rc robot is awesome!
I wanna put a magnetic crane on my Trex. Already drawn up the plans but not sure where its gonna go from there, lol...

I have a blast with mine. Best thing I've built so far was a lego cleaner-upper.. Kinda like a wheeled crab that scooped legos off the floor onto a conveyor belt and then sorted 'em by color and dumped 'em in bins on it's back.

Check out what this guy built:

Isnt that the truth!! My wife tells my that all the time! I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW DAMNIT!

arclite5 · 09-25-2007, 06:36 PM

I'd like to point out that Kyna said that "...we expect the Align 500 by November." Key word here guys being -expect-.. She didn't confirm anything, just dropped a tentative date.

I'm really stoked about it coming out soon but I'm not gonna hold my breath.. I'd rather it be late and perfect than rushed and flawed!

LOL we did too, but that was bak in gr8, now i'm in gr10 and building robots. but the equipments kinda disappoints me as you can only use the supplied servos and motors and tx. and no offense, but the tx looks junk to me... VEX equipments. i'm sure you can like program it using an external programmer or something... but compared to our radios lol.

sorry to go offtopic, just wanna share.
