Since the release of the 700N, there have been many asking Align if a 700E is in the pipeline. No, was the answer. Some question about the feasibility of big electrics, while others thought electrics might be the future. Without a doubt, this is a segment of the market that does not see as much competition, but the offerings are all pretty well designed(and pricey) machines like the 3DMP, Joker and Ion-X. So a 700E will finally make cheap big electrics a reality, granted, if cheap, big and electric should ever appear in the same sentense.

If you have been waiting for a T-rex 700 E-conversion kit, then wait no more. It is here, at a reasonable 199EUR.
