Ares Nano Micro Chronos CX 75 RTF Helicopter Review

ares chronos

It seems like all bashers have a place in their heart for some sort of flight. Either with foam plans, or nano helis, most of us own at least one. We recently got our hands on the new Ares micro heli, and decided to put it to the test. Would it satisfy our need for air time? Keep Reading..

ares gamma

New from Ares RC (pronounced air-eez) is the Gamma 370 Plane. The plane is light weight, durable, and arrives factory assembled and just about ready to fly out of the box! It is available in two forms, the RTF (Ready to Fly) version that has everything you need in the box, and a RFR (Ready for Receiver) version that needs you to supply your receiver and radio.

One of the best features about the Gamma 370 is the easy upgradability. The plane comes with a brushed motor system, but Ares already has a brushless upgrade kit available for it when you are ready for a little more power and speed. They also have a full 4-channel control upgrade with a aileron-equipped wing set that replaces the stock wings for when you are ready to start a little more aerobatic action!

The wingspan is 38 inches and the overall length is 30 inches. That’s a lot of plane for the under $130 price tag!

The Ares line is a HobbyTown exclusive, so you will need to head there to pick one up, or buy it online.

Ares RC has sent some info on their new helicopters called the Chronos CX 75. It’s a Nano-Micro Heli that sounds like it has us bashers in mind. It’s RTF (Ready to Fly) out of the box, and is designed to be durable so anyone can learn to fly it. It comes with the batteries you need, a 2.4GHz radio, and is ready to fly in minutes.

We just got our hands on one of these, so look for a review coming very soon. Anyone can fly huh? Maybe I should hand it to Cubby!
