I've been doing some research on 550's. It appears that the Trex550 is only made to be a 6S setup although a few folks have figured out how to stuff 12S under the canopy. It also looks like the Chaos will be made to take 6S or 12S so it should be easier to to go 12S on the Chaos. I have a 600 size motor that needs 12S and a HV esc. So it looks like the decision has been made for me - Chaos 550. Just need to know when and how much?
**Edit** - I found a reasonable deal on a 600 that I could use my motor in, so if I can come to terms with the owner, I may just get a second 600. I wish I knew when this 550 was coming out as it would help me make the decision on this 600.

I cant wait till i can add this to my chaos family! Me either! Shouldn't be much longer, it is said to be arrive at RCA 3-4 weeks earlier this month when I posted the last update so I am thinking early part of December? Again, every Chaos lounge member will be the first to be able to grab one first. Stay tune!

I just got an email today from RCA that says another 3-4 weeks, so that would now put it around the first of the year. I really wanted to wait but I found a Trex 550 FBL for the about the same price as a Chaos 550 and it will be here today. Sorry guys, but I have this Scorpion motor that is getting very lonely . . .

Hummm, thats news to me as I was still thinking it'll be here sometime this month. But if you gotten an email from them then it may be true, I guess I am just alittle confussed about the ETA. Anyway, I guess sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just curious though, how did you find out the cost of the Chaos 550 to make that comparison?

Anyone know if the 550 will have a belt for the tail? I have some money set aside for this heli, but it is burning a hole in my pocket. I guess I could always sell my Logo 500 to fund the new Chaos 550.

As far as I know at this point, the upgrades are: Thicker carbon main frames Carbon tail boom Carbon blades Triple main bearing blocks A kick (BAD WORD) FBL head (if you decide to go that route) ....oh yeah and a killer "Canopy" Can't wait!

As long as it's not emilia 550, anything will be kick (BAD WORD) for me lol. But the upgrades sound promising, definitely going the fbl route since the beastxspektrum fusion is coming out. Count me in!
