My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I think I'm going to like the 6s setup too. That's 2 3s packs which I have laying around doing nothing. Plus, My 5s lepton is OK but could be punchier.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just noticed this thread. I have lots of 550mm blades lying around from my nitro days. Will 550 blades fit or is 500 the maximum size?

I am confused as well. I do not see how 6s at 2200 mah is going to give any sort of flight time. Wouldn't you need more like the 6s 3700 mah packs?

Flight time is one factor in Karnaks' predictions...1500 G 425/430 blades for two T rex 450 packs...700W motor...I think the Duzi boys are going to have a better answer right now....

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Whats with the naming convention? Trex 600N makes perfect sense; 600mm blades running on Nitro. Trex 450 made no sense as the blades were only 325mm long. Why is Align still misleading consumers with the Trex 500? The main blades are only going to be 450mm!
Why not just make 460mm blades and call it the Trex 460?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The 450 and 500 refer to the motor size. That was an older naming scheme at one time, so I've come to understand. Some companies are using the old naming scheme and some are using numbers according to blade size. Here are some examples.

Old:
TRex 450 (or other 450 sized class)
Lepton 500 class but 425mm blades
HDX 500 (425mm blades

That’s what I am looking for – something that takes 500-550mm blades. 450 is just too small for me. Why doesn’t Align make something that size?
