      Oh Dear @MegaShawn I humbly apologize.... I never realized we have only met once in the past... or maybe I was having a premonition instead? Only time will tell.......

      I'm on a 6s setup and love it. For a few reasons, also there is + and - on both setups.
      6s- less weight, good power, less $ also less $ for ESC and motor because of 6s setup.
      12s-well no dought a lot of power but costs more for Lipo's and equipement.
      All in all, it's more preference and kind of style of flying you do.

      Good to hear you like the 6s setup. I've only seen 12s so far, and they pretty much hammer!!
      But I was thinking a 6s setup for mine too - when I eventually get around to building that is....

      I really love my setup of 6s, no regrets what's so ever.
      Did you ever build a Goblin before? Or is this your first?
      Mine was my first and just finish building it a few months ago. I got to tell you, it was 'n absolute blast to build.:D

      Yeah I've built one or two recently. ;)

      But I haven't built a 570 yet. It was next on my "to do" list until SAB announced the 380 last week....Now it's a waiting game to see when it's released.

      Bring it on!! :D

      Yeah, I agree with you about the 380. Should be very interesting.

      The 38o has a lot going for it by the sounds of things. We need to show some vids of it flying! Release dates are rumoured to be around December (this year?).
