The following table contains three different setups for the T-Rex 450X. I have tried to cover the budget buyer, where price is the most important factor. The intermediate buyer where price is still a factor but some extra money is available to be spent on some higher quality equipment. Lastly I have covered the money is no object buyer, where quality of kit is everything. This represents my personal opinion and is not based upon any product allegiances. It is designed to give fair representation of the true cost of getting into the R/C Helicopter hobby with a T-Rex 450X. For each item I have included a £ and $ price. These represent the best price I could find in the UK and the best price I could find in the USA.
