Hello guys!
My Rappy is resting a little bit from a small crash and I decided it's time for upgrades.

I want a nice metal head and tail system (complete metal tail system, including casing, hub, blade grips and everything else I can get), but I don't know which one to get.

Could you more experienced guys help me deciding? It would be great if you could link me up to online stores that sells it too.. and obviously the comments about each model.
Thanks in advance! Sorry about my english.

Spend the $$ on stock parts and fuel.

The really only worthwhile upgrade is the Metal headblock. You'll be able to run a higher headspeed safely. Consider the head from www.gforceheli.com

The metal head is nice, as is the metal washout base, the Maverikk stuff is fine. I'd leave the tail alone except for the hub which I'd replace with TT part PV0499 or the Quick UK getup with the thrust bearings.

The Mavrikk stuff is decent. I have their full metal head and tail, and they work OK. Nothing spectacular, basically they just reproduced the stock parts in metal, but they seem to stand up to abuse very well. That said, the only part that's likely to improve the flying characteristics is a metal head, the stock plastic wears very quickly, I'm told.

I just got this tail, so far works great.

It even survived a crash, my tail rod binded up, and I came spinning down.
