How nice would it be.........

If Budd at Quick UK made some stuff for the Vibe? With the scarcity of the KSJ1334 flybar cage for the Vibe head, I sent Budd an e-mail asking if he would ever consider making something like that and adding it to his product line. He indicated that he might consider it along with a few other items. Not sure about many of you other JR Vibe owners, but I for one think this machine could be more popular if aftermarket parts could be had for a bit cheaper from some reliable sources.

I agree Kinger,

I just ordered a Vibe and also have noticed that there are not a whole lot of after maket parts / upgrades available.

Maybe I will also drop an e-mail. At least he will hear from more than one person.

I'm not sure how many upgrades are really needed for the machine (other than maybe a flybar cage), but having an alternate place for cheaper spares certainly would be nice. For example, the carbon frame pieces that hold in the tank and the tail rotor hub. I think either of those could easily be done by somebody with Budd's experience.

In the end, if I just don't crash I won't need any replacements :) Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight............

Whats wrong with the Vibe flybar cage? DOUG

For the grip flip the flybar cage is REALLY needed in my opinion. If KSJ is not making it anymore then YES Quick should make it! IT WILL SELL!

I think KSJ continues to make them, but obtaining them appears to be the tricky part. I know I'm not the only one looking for one as Advantage Hobby indicated yesterday that 4 other people are on the backorder list for one with them.

Doug, the stock arms are ok, but the flybar cage keeps the control arms intact in the event that a flybar breaks in flight. Take a look at the really hard core 3D guys flying a Vibe (Lukas Rivas, Curtis (has his own design of course) and Chen Zarfati to name a few) and they are all running a different cage from stock. On the other hand, Scott Gray doesn't appear to use one so who knows :dontknow I guess I just looked at it as an added insurance policy against the possiblity of the flybar breakings.
