Had my first raptor crash and need some parts =(
any suggestions?
has anyone tried these Gohbee blades?

I get my nitro parts from www.heliproz.com and www.ronlund.com They are both pretty good but one is in Montana and the other is in Texas so either way it takes about a week for me to get my order on the East coast. I've bought a few things from www.onlyraptors.com too but they take even longer to get to my door but their prices are good. If I need the parts now, I go to the Hobby shop nearby and pay a little extra.

Try Mac Hodges talk to Bill and tell him I sent you....He will treat you right and shipping is cheap and fast. I get mine the next day but I am also somewhat close to him. Also I have tried a set of Gohbee blades......I still have them if you want to buy them......cheap......they are not for hard 3d they make a lot of blade flutter noise. But, they have also changed the design a little since the set I have so they may have made some changes. I mean they are good blades just make a lot of noise.imo.

I order from Ricks and Heliproz mostly. Ricks, I use the USPS Priority Mail and I get it between 2-3 days. When I use Heliproz and the standard shipping, it takes about a week. Prices are about the same. I've found myself ordering from Ricks more often than not lately.

Rick's alomst exclusively. Heliproz/UPS shipping takes forever to get to Massachusetts vs.
USPS Priority at Rick's.
Now I'm getting a lot of parts (for Hirobo) from rchover.

I recently found http://www.advantagehobby.com/
I use them because they are 1 day ups ground from me, prices aren't bad, and they match any other prices... but the parts finder system they have is super sweet.
while i would prefer to use ricks and helipros, the transit times kill me unless i pony up another 20$ for UPS 2DA.
