Looks great Matt, When will this be avil? Been watching vids and doing research on this heli for awhile now. I prefer TT over belt. will it be coming with the kit or just an upgrade feature? is the E7 a true 90 sized machine or is it a 50 class heli where you can stretch the boom and make it a 90 like the logo?

Looks great! What's the weight difference between belt/TT?

[Matt Botos]

The E7 is a true 90 size machine, this is not a stretched 50 size. The size is very similar to Trex700E. There are some size comparison photos out there on different forums.

Weight difference will be minimal, I don't have exact figures yet.

The TT will be coming both as upgrade and as an option in the kit.

Thanks,

Matt

In the words of Freddy... "AH CHA CHA CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" haha Nice video Matt, looks real solid!! Can't wait to get a few of those TT to the Alabama wrecking crew so we can abuse them a little!

Hi Matt,
Will kits be offered with a TT option or will it only be sold as an upgrade?

Any idea of what the upgrade pricing will be?

[churchyj]

Refer above post, available as an option in kit or as an upgrade.  I'm keen to have one on the N5C, any ETA Matt?

[steffgiguere]

This one is for the E7 not the N5C, sorry.

[Matt Botos]

Eventually the same system will be implemented on the N5c. Just takes time.

The new TT system will be offered both as an upgrade and eventually in kits.

Ahhhh Matt,

Why are you doing this to me?  I thought we were friends.  Now I must have one.  I fly mainly belt because it is less parts to replace in a crash.   With the way this looks I have to get it.  I should just open a allotment to you....LOL

Matt if the tail touches the ground are the front or back gears that will break? Which will be easier to change?

[Yanick Larouche]

Hi guys !

This is not plastic gear. This gear look like delrin.

And the delrin are hard to break... At work i make lot of test with this material.

Thank's !

Looks like delrin for sure, aka Whiplash. If possible, can we see more of the torque tube, like  boom bearing holder or holders, tube engagement system, front cage, etc.

[Yanick Larouche]

Good idea Jean-Luc!

Matt always use best quality parts and Synergy flyer don't have to repair Synergy heli after each fly!

Other brand use plastic gear!!

I did not design the drive system to be weak in any area. With the current level of flying and the enormous amount of power we have available I can't afford to design in weak spots. I design for ease of maintenance and durability. If you break any part of the drive system it is very simple to change.
