It does look like fun that lots of power with a hex aswell, and its made for 2200mah my favourite battery  amazed that dog has any face left though lol

talking of mini hex's I saw this a while ago never really been tempted by a hex before but would like to try this

http://rctimer.com/product-1177.html

they sell the esc seperately aswell 4.3 grams for a 20 amp flashed with blheli would be good for a mini quad

Although the hobbyking looks loads lighter and would probably take a crash better, think I would be worried bout crashing the rctimer one, might have to try the esc's though. Just realised I prob should have put this in a different thread 

[MrBen]

yeah that one you linked looks top banana but look how much more it costs too!

[gavnthat]

I know not really comparable is it, would be good with 6 inch props and 2206 2000kv motors   
Actually if you knock off the cost of the esc that are included = $66 the frame is only really $73 which is bout £45 so not too bad.

foxtech are getting in on the act, not as cheap as hobbyking though

[gavnthat]

Yeah have seen them the hex looks like a pretty good copy of the blackout hex which is just mad expensive. The Blackout one I mean is expensive.

not sure but think foxtech might do free postage too

ah didnt realise the esc was included, thats makes it more affordable

Thorax ?
I thought that was a chemical weapon

[xxpitt]

why are they using a deans connector on there? didn't think people bothered with them anymore, well except martin i know he likes to get as many in as he can between lipo and pdb

was hovering over the buy it now button other night on this one,still little sparce on vids online yet and was reading that the camera slot fot the fpv cam is too small for most modern cameras..

Hex's are a ball of fun to fly LOS and lasts a long time on a 2200mAh 3S battery.  Secret is still about keeping it light though! Loaded down with fpv gear the advantages start to dwindle, and props get broken more...
