| Tuff call on that, I would say a Swift and Logo are in a different league then the Voyager E.
The cost for Lipos and BL motor and BL ESC, are more then the cost for the VE Lipo and motors.
I think the Voyager is a good helicopter with a few upgrades and the two that MUST be done are BL and Lipo.
this will give new life to your Voyager, after you have upgraded it, it will fly very well, and allot longer, and you can use Both NiMh and Lipo, I prefer lipos.
I can fly either 3S or 4S and it makes the VE a blast fly when going 4S lipo! the power is over the top!
Most poeple have opted for the Hacker BL motor B40-8L or C40-8L. 15T to 16T pinion.
There is also a Stretch mod, that can allow the VE to run longer main blades.
And another mod is to convert the tail to a Raptor 30 tail, this is cheaper to repair and also more robust in design.
Carbon frames can save some weight and so can using HS-81 servos.
All in all the VE is not dead, they are still flying and places still carry after market parts!
the choice is yours.
