Align announced today on their website a long awaited upgrade/hop-up for the popular Trex 700N kit.

Since the release of the 700N many owners have experienced main gear stripping issues.  One potential reason to why this was happening was directed at the stock plastic clutch bearing block.  The theory is the forces of the strong 90 [...]

Fresh from this past weekend, 19yr old Team Align pilot Lukas Riva from Switzerland has released three new videos of him flying his Trex 700N.

Have you been stripping those soft, cheap and badly made Align button head collar screws on your 700N main frame? Have you been looking for an alternative for it, but can’t find any better alternative to those odd-sized screws? It seems Liron from Israel has a decent solution-washers with machined collar.

Prices are really reasonable and [...]

By now, I am sure many 700N “beta testers” who frequent forums like helifreak and runryder are pretty worried about throwing or breaking a ball link in flight. No worries, you are not alone. Yours sincerely have  been losing sleep over it too.

Finally. Helidirect has decided to do a sexier and  sharper, Aurora/Synergy inspired canopy for the Align T-Rex 700N. The one in the photo, still a prototype, is from the people who brought us the popular $49.90 Fusuno canopy.

Since the pre-production days of the 700N, there have been numerous flyers (including ME!) complaining about the shape and paint scheme of the canopy. Some even [...]

No, the conversion isn’t by Align. Don’t think its commercially available yet. It is running on a Wrenn MP-44 powerplant. Definitely sound way different from our typical nitro hot rods.

The Align T-Rex 700 has been in production for a month or so.
According to the RJX rep at 5irc.com (a china r/c forum), the X-treme 90 has also been released with the most basic version (I suppose that means G10 frame and belt drive) going at less than 4000rmb ($600 USD) in their domestic market.  
Either way, both are not quite readily available [...]
