    T-Rex 450 Sport Super Combo

    I started helis with an MCX, then went to a walkera cb100. I was seriously considering buying pretty much that trex 450 kit next, but decided to try out a rc car(savage) instead. After my dog did an excited backflip flicking her ridiculously long tail into the prop of my modified parkzone...
