Sigh,
Since getting the 550 PRO DFC, I've been somewhat under-whelmed by the 730MX / Talon 90 / 16T Pinion / 114T Main gear / 550mm blades combination. This heli REALLY needs to be governed well at 2500 RPM, and as things stand, that's just not possible with the stock components (not enough overhead).
So I've spent a day converting it to a 130A ESC and external BEC. And now ...
... it's not really any different. Grrrr.
Next step will be to replace the 730MX with a KDE 600XF-1100 with 14T Pinion. More power - smaller size - more governing overhead.
Go figure, sigh.

Goodbye Juliet - Hello Sojourner!
After the untimely demise of T-Rex 450 PRO DFC "Juliet", there's only one thing any self-respecting RC heli addict can do to ease the pain ...
... buy a bigger helicopter!
Juliet's replacement is "Sojourner" - a T-Rex 550 PRO DFC. This is about Flight number 20 for her.
Be warned - shop on an iPhone - so at a minimum you need to run the clip in full 1080P HD and full screen. Not my greatest flying - was pretty windy and only my 2nd flight of the day (so not warmed up yet) (well that's my excuse anyway!)
Enjoy!
