cheers yes it wasnt to bad just a servo and straiten the boom but the blade was broke so i do try and buy the seconds u can get them for 15 pound sometimes , just got a load of tarrot blades for the 450 8 pound so not so bad .
yes land was soft i put on spare servo straightened boom and had a pair of spare blades and she ready to crash again lol ,and flybar in 2024 lol ive just bought a 600 trex flybar heli and a 550 flybar ,i hav got a flybarless head for 550 though the 600 will remain as is unless i find a head for it .should be fun
@@arcturus2382I've got a Trex-600e, currently out of service as I need parts, mainly need the CF frames, but they're not really in stock anymore. In the process of rebuilding my CNC machine to cut out the CF frames. Seems that's the only way I'll be able to get them. Hopefully you can still find trex 500 parts.
hi . yes 500 parts are easy there are lots of them and should be able to get some 600 parts on ebay . if u serch internet u might find some new frames i hav seen them sometimes depends were u are i found some parts then they usually are in other countries with expensive post lol
@@arcturus2382 I've checked ebay here and there and I do see some but they're in UK (I'm in US). Which isn't all that much of an issue, however it seems they're used frames, which I would prefer new ones. Ultimately I will crash the heli again at some point so I'll need to find a longer term solution with regards to the frames. Other parts like the main gear, main shaft, etc.. will probably become an issue further down the line as well. I think it some point it'll make more sense for me to fix it, retire it as a shelf piece and maybe pick up a more modern heli. I have an old Shuttle ZX that's 25 years old at this point that sits on my shelf. Parts for that would be impossible to find.
@@K9Megahertz i just got a blade 500x so i had to buy 2 so i could hav some parts but trex helis are usually good u can just buy another heli for parts but a newer heli is easyer but were is the fun in that lol, i had a shuttle in 2001 i didnt keep it unfortunatly ive seen 2 on ebay this week
looks like soft ground saved the blades so not too bad for repair cost, nice flying mate.

I'm not the only Flybar'd flyer
lol i still hav a 600 flybar to try out as well
Battery looks a bit small to me, this bird needs 6s 3300 mah lipo
thats the recomended size i do hav 3300 batts but they make it nose heavy my 500 l takes 3300 but they slide underneith so they balance better
Wow not bad survival of a crash, i thought it will be more bad. Guess land was soft enough. Btw, a flybar in 2024? :)
