Ok gang, lets see if we can get the lounge going again! Its been really quiet here lately but we can fix that...come on guys, there's gotta be something new with your Chaos we can all talk about.
As for a new toy of mine recently, I went ahead and picked up the Chaos 450 pro. This little gem is awesome, as it is a clone of the Trex 450 pro but better. How you ask, well for starters...alot of stuff is upgraded to CF. The main rotor, tail and even the fb paddles are all CF...thats right..."all carbon fiber". The tail blade grip is metal and not plastic and with many other upgraded parts over the standard Trex 450 pro, this is certainly a good buy by far. Mine is the super combo kit which included all the electronics, a truly BNF kit...just add your TX/RX and off you go.
Additionally, I upgraded the stock motor to a Scorpion HK II 2221-6 (4400KV). This little monster of a motor is a beast! To confirm what was said today from a conversation with Cliff, anyone that is interested to purchase the Chaos 450 pro will receive this Scorpion motor as an upgrade for "FREE"....yes, FREE if you're an active Chaos Crew memeber who owns a Chaos and/or have contributed on any of the "Chaos" threads on RCGroups or on here @ the Chaoslounge. This motor is valued at $55 by itself.
When time allows, I will start a build thread here as well as on RCG so please check back if your interested and again...lets get our forum fired up again! ;D ;D ;D

Are all those metal upgrades supposed to come with the kit? Mine didn't come with any of them.

I think I am jumping in with the 450 now and if I win the contest I'll have twins . Do I have to mention to RCA I am a member to get the 440 kv motor? Thinking about ordering to day.

Yes, you have to let em know that you're a member of the Chaos Lounge and you would like your free Scorpion motor upgrade. Try to talk to Robert or Cliff....if they have any problems or need confirmation, tell them to call me.

I love the photos and video. I think that was the deal maker on this. Gota see it to believe it. Maybe I share some of my build.
Battery Question.......Some Trex posts mention 2,200 or 2,650's 20-30C for batteries for a 450 size. Am I better off going with a 3,000 20-40C with the fuselage in the future to get more time and added power? They are like about $25 nowadays and only $5 more than the smaller size. I know it is more weight but that would be good in the nose. Just concerned with the smaller ones now then buying more batteries later.
My intention is to start out, do some tricks then into the fuselage in a few months.

I am not 100% but I don't think it will hurt anything considering its not like your changing the number of the cells. As long its a 3s, I believe a 3000mah won't do any harm but hopefully someone else can put their 2 cents worth in here.
