My Posts This: Topic Forum | First off, both are good heli and equally capable for 3D. But here are some of the pros and cons you need to konw.
- Trex600 uses CCPM, which mean given the same servo, collective respond is going to be faster. But, then you almost always have to deal with CCPM interaction. Raptor's mechnical mixing is slower, but never have to deal with CCPM interaction
- Raptor has alot more bell cranks then Trex, This is not uniquie to raptor, but rather any none-CCPM heli. This mean you will have to constantly make sure those bell crank is slop free. Trex does not have this problem.
- Raptor is about $200 cheaper then Trex600.
- This one you may not care, but Trex is far easier to clean at the end of the day then Raptor. This is because all the CF structrue are pretty much flat. Raptor is made of most plastic with many support rib builtin. This makes harder to get all the grease out when it comes to cleaning time.
By the way, in case if I didn't mention, I own both Raptor50 nitro, Trex700 nitro and Trex600 electric. So my opinion is not bias.
