Without knowing age and history it's not possible to say. If you think you have a bargain the "Great!" If it seems to good to be true then it probably is!

Hi stonefly71,

With a new T-Rex 450SE RTF available in the States for under $500 I would really being doing my homework on the value of the extras and upgrades, remembering the Tx could be up to 6 years old and the Helicopter 4 Years old. If I were you I would need to at least see it and have it demonstrated if possible.

That's alot of money for some pretty outdated and used stuff..
You can't hardly find parts for that heli any more.
Here is a new one with everything but the radio.

And this is a sweet flying heli..
And for under 200 bucks you can get either a Futaba or Spectrum radio.
So for 150 bucks more then the old heli you are looking at, you get all brand new..
