Go to page 3 and see the cremation. This thing is HUGE & super expensive.

Castle still have not get their issues resolved .... sad

To say the truth, the trekker is ugly.
The canopy does not seem to fit the frame but the xtreme is a beauty.
I saw the red and white canopy at RCS yesterday .... super nice!

same as car companies...asia vs conti.

the trekker looks small compare to mikado 800

[feudallordcult]

it's basically a 700 with an extended boom. looks to be a "project" to satisfy those who may not be able to afford the mikado. 800 with a 120esc and a 3gx?! C'mon, that's just lethal combo. Wonder how rotor will price this product. Think will be pretty hard to move since many here already have the 700 and can just order an extension kit with 800mains. furthermore, it's a push-pull design which IMHO is like a taking a step backwards.

Align T-Rex 800 Trekker maiden flight by Sergio from Pirofliprc.c, followed by burnt failed CC120HV ESC.

I do agree 160HV would be a better choice for this size. Allow me to post here for easier access...

Align Trekker 800E start flight followed by Castle Burnt 120HV ESC at 3rd flight as in pictures.


Configurations

2. Castle Ice 120hv
3. Direct 2s lipo to Mini Vbar 5.3 pro
4. Align 700hv servos

6. 1500hs idle 1
7. 1950 idle 2

No prob bro! I passing this out of the list as it is using 700DFC Head. Rather opt for 700HV edition instead. But looking seriously at MD-7. Perhaps, Whiplash 90E, Kasama Faifa 90E LRH, TDR 90E, Diabolo 90E, Mikado XXtreme 700E, GAUI NX4 Nitro.

A few issues I still cannot comprehend:
1) why still 3gx;
2) why only 120a since they already upgraded to hv servos?

Frankly, Alan Szabo flew it stock, Kenny Ko flew it stock still & Ko has demostrated extreme 3D. I reckon their parameters could have been adjusted to compromise in the ESC & 3GX together with their throttle curves. Both could have thought it's enough in performance. Plus the fact of putting 160HV increases it's costs as deemed by Align marketing department. The disappointing & surprising part to me is that the Rotor Head still using 700 instead of 800...

Bro, you finance the cost, I m sure they'll be plenty of volunteers.

SoRry I misread yr post. Think only handful own the mikado. In nitro terms,it's too rich.
