I have the same wobbly tail drive gear that is supplied with the V2 Frenzy and would like to replace it.

There was mention of a raptor tail gear that is a drop in replacement however I can't seem to find the right part number for this. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to replace the wobbly stock part? Hopefully this part will be remolded to something with a tad bit better quality in the future. Anything that spins on a heli should run true!

Edit: Also is the raptor part aluminum?

I think I found it but it comes with the shaft. heliproz (http://www.ronlund.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=heli&Product_Code=JCRTRP)

Now that's a quality part!:smokin:

Here's the one I was originally looking for: helikraft (http://www.helikraft.com/Thunder+Tiger/Raptor+50+V2+Parts/Thunder+Tiger/PV0029/Tail+pulley+set+(PV0029).html)
It's the $2.52 red OEM pulley, I guess they are currently sold out right now.:roll:

So the part number is PV0029 or RCT0200

Here is another site that lists it but it's in Singapore: mockingbirdrc (http://www.mockingbirdrc.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=1690&)

The other option is to see if the LHS can order one for me.

That is the part you are looking for. The CNC Alum one is what a lot of people are going to. I have not yet myself. Mine has a slight wobble, but I am not seeing any effects from it. To use the Alum one, you just remove the pulley from the shaft and put it on the Frenzy's shaft. It is a pretty straight forward swap.
