Looks repairable.

OP: I would go with the 700 size ones that you listed or Goblin 630. Don't worry about crashing and parts for now. Go with the ones you like. Fly nitro for more air time.

Thanks for all the great advice and sharing of experience.

After much consideration, the following is a shorter list.

1. Goblin 630 (may be 700 or 770?)
2. Trex 700 DFC
3. Gaui X7

A friend sms me last night and commented that 700 size is smoother but slower, and 600 size is better for smack 3D.
I don't foresee I will be a smack 3D guy, so perhaps 700 is better for me? I saw the Goblin 630 at the field flying last weekend. I really like the 630, it looks so good and very visible in the air. I guess look is also an important factor, LOL. So, I put Goblin 630 as the 1st in the list. Few weeks ago, I saw the new Trex 700 DFC, it is a much improved version, I am quite impressed with the new design and look. As for Gaui X7, I have not seen it before, but was highly recommended by many reviews and bros at the fields. And for 6hv and 7hv, I have no doubt they are great helis, and Johnny's support is first class. However, 6hv/7hv lose out on appearance.

dun buy solely on appearance otherwise u should buy a kasama.

Although appearance is not the sole factor, it is an important point in the decision making process.

Good, very good.

Personally think G4 E720 is a great kit, can mix n match between nitro and electric (maybe use Scorpion 4540 motor ) also between flybar and flybar less. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I wish can I buy them all.

Every time when I have more helis, I would have less time to fly as I'll be busy fixing the helis. lol.

Actually I think the e720 is discontinued already. There is the E700 now you can consider that.
