just so you know, hobbypartz is selling the sg90 towerpro servos for 3 bucks something, get atleast five so incase one of your servo goes bad, you'll have extra to replace it. Personally i used the 30 amp volcanoe series but i am upgrading all my 450 helis to 40 amp esc,. like nuttcaze said, you needa brushless motor, alpha400 3500 kv, this comes with a pinion and i believe its 17 bucks, and get the telebee gyro at helidirect, then your good to go. once you have all this, you can check Nuttcaze's video on how to build exi 450 as your guide. It would be wise if you have a dx6i or dx7 transmitter. It's a lot easier to pragram your heli that way. good luck !!!
