Ah man a Gaui huh? Sweet! how do you like it? I hear they are pretty nicely made birds...
I have about 40 flights on mine and so far its doing great. Had a crash with it already and it held up quite well. Its a beefy frame and the battery placement is ideal for those hard nose first crashes. One thing I do recommend is multiple battery trays. I intend on getting at least 4 more, I only need 3 more but they are sold in pairs.
The repair parts (for the mist part) are sold in pairs except for the main things like frames, head block and tail output box. The X3 also has a belt conversion that is not 3rd party.
One thing I am waiting for is the new side frames to be released. Well that's if they ever get released.
I can't speak on the other classes they have but if the X3 is any indication then its a great choice. Parts a fairly inexpensive and kit costs are comparable to other too brands. Great alternative to Align.

That's a great looking machine trainrider06.
Yup, it's the same as the Align 450 Dominator and Warp 360. It's a great size helicopter and I want one in a bad way!!!
I got my bare bones kit with upgraded tail grips for $209 at helidirect. For under $100 you can get the standard tail. For around $380 you can get the upgraded tail grips and a branded authentic mini bar. Looks like the component offerings for combo deals were taken down from heli direct. They also had a an RJX servo deal along with an ikon and castle edge 35 amp esc. yes the up front cost of the Gaui is a little more but you get to kit the heli the way you want it.
As for long term costs, well they are on par with align. I almost got an align instead of the Gaui but I opted for the X3. I found that between a standard 450 pro dfc and the X3 the X3 came out a tad cheaper.
Yes I will be a lot happier when those servos come in.
Oh the KST servos are the exact same thing as RJX servos which Gaui uses as their stock servos.
