ReadyHeli and HeliDirect are both carrying it in the USA. I got mine from SubTrim in Canada. I bought mine for the same reason. Having a hard time seeing my T-Rex 450's.
Where are you in Arizona?

Bullhead City! Long distance from me in Mesa! :)
So far I love the Hurricane. I'm trying to finish it up between lots of other distractions. It may be another two weeks before I have mine in the air. No fault of the heli at all. I just have too many things getting in the way of working on it for more than just a few minutes at a time. :(
I'm waiting for someone to have ALL of the parts in stock and then I'll make a big order. I want to have a basic crash kit as well as a few of the upgrades. No one place seems to have everything in stock yet. I don't want to make several orders from different places and have a bunch of shipping costs.

Hi Folks,
I'm wanting the Hurricane also. The nice thing about ReadyHeli is that you get free shipping if it's over 99 bucks. Don't know about ya'll but I order from them pretty regular to repair my HDX 450 and Trex 450XL. Almost always goes over a hundred bucks. Their prices are pretty good too. I'm new to flying choppers and keeping the hobby shops in business right now.
Oh yeah. Bob (Finless) if you see this post just want to say many thanks for the contruction videos. I'm sure I would have quit from frustration if not for your work.

Has anyone ordered from Advantage Hobby? I'm wondering if that kit is the latest version?
Also, has anyone received a kit with the new motor mount and 8mm shaft included?
Thanks,
Leo

backman has the same deal as rc-expert.
they have the best kit with all servos 401 gyro with 9254 servo 4 batteries and a charger for 599.00
Others have similar but with only 2 batteries and no charger....same price
New kit just released with metal head parts same kit with hi tech servos 799.00
This was by far the best deal out the on the hurricane when I bought .
:D

I checked backman's site and he does not have the new kit however you can get a look at it on rc-expert.com

Espritmmodel has super fast service too. If you are in or near the south it usually only takes 2 days! I don't think they have their parts on the shelf yet for the hurricane. Everything I tried to add to cart last night came up as too little quantity to add to cart. Guess they will be there soon.
