Any build videos or reviews of the 425?

Anyone know of any review of build videos of the 425, is it the same as the 550?

Whats the difference between the 2?

Can I put a 550 motor/electronics in a 425 incase I upgrade it to a 550 later.

really considering one of these smaller birds to night fly (and crash) with.

I like the plastic fames etc, I have a Pantera 50 nitro that has been working very well for me, but would like a smaller electric, but bigger than my 450 Pro v2.

Also I don't see any side frames listed for sale, on the empire hobby site.

Can parts be ordered individually or do I have to order a whole kit each time?

I like the cost of the plastic version, but worry about parts availability.

I also see the 550 is discontinued.

The Plastic Fantastic frame is the same for both...
They can be found in many places...
You can put 550 Elec. in there and leave it...change your gearing for what ever blade size you want to run...Like a 980 or 1100kv motor and change the pinions up or down and front main gears up or down...Gaui will continue to support the 425.
I run 80a and 100a ESC's on 2 different plastic frames...1 is 500mm bladed and the other is 550mm bladed...980 motor and 875 motor...

The plastic frame can be purchased separately. It comes with both sides, and the bolts and nuts, part # G-204010. The plastic framed 425 and 550 are basically the same except for the tail boom, belt, tail control rod, blades and flybar paddles.

Well i guess thats convient.

Now I just have to see how they crash.

Ill be using the zip tie trick on the gear for sure.

Now to make some 425 night blades.

Maybe time for an HK order.
