That doesn't sound like a 4/5, it sounds like a 5/6 to me.

It's 4/5, the pitch is lower than a 5/6 on the same power level. It also kinda has that model 2T buzz to it (they share the same port ratio and rotor)

Nice find! Definitely a 4/5 port ratio chopper. I know one of those when I hear it, being a Model 2T owner.

Is there any way you can tell us exactly what happened when you found this? Why did you go dumpster diving in the first place? How many did you look in? Was the piece near a siren? I'm just having a hard time putting things together. So, can you please explain what exactly happened?
Well, there's this big trash dump/recycling center that I went to, and I found it while looking for computer stuff(the main reason I dumpster dive). I didn't notice a siren nearby either.

Wow, you found a T-Bolt chopper in the dumpster and it turned out to be a 4/5... you must've been some goody-two-shoes to receive that kind of karma. :lol: Have fun with your new toy!

Since this is only a piece off of a siren, I want to get the whole unit. Is there any place that has parts for this stuff? I heard there's this massive place loaded with siren stuff near Lake Michigan.
