I should be getting my Gaui Hurricane 550 any day now! Basically the size of 600s, with battery and parts cost of the 450s!

It may not be for super duper 3d, but neither am I at this point! Ha

Yeah I've been flying them for just about over a year now.

I actually saw this episode of Punk'd last night where Sean White was flying one and he blew up this conduit box...it was pretty funny actually

Check out ZIPPY Lipos

3s 2200 20c - $16

3s 1800 20c - $16

The 2200 gives 12 mins if you want to push it 10 at 80%. My buddy uses them in his Trex 450 they are supposed to fit in the Blade 400.
