I've got a Thunder Tiger Raptor v1.
I just spent $250 on it replacing the v1 stuff with v2 parts which include:
New Parts:
Frames
Main Rotor head
Red dampers
Grips
Feathering shaft bearings
feathering spindle
thrust bearings
metal washout hub
Stainless steel flybar
Raptor 50 tail boom
Tail Belt
Tail Rotor Case
Hardened main shaft
NHP 600mm Carbon Razor pro blades
Flybar control "hoops"
Washout arms and bearings
Other upgrades include:
TT Metal Swashplate
Quick UK Metal flybar control arms
Quick UK metal seesaw w/ head button
Quick UK metal mixing arms
Quick UK Metal tail boom TR servo mount
Mavrik Metal Tail rotor grips
Mavrik v2 tail rotor hub
KSJ 30 size 3D paddles
KSJ 30 size tail rotor blades
KSJ tail boom support bridge
2oz Hopper tank w/ metal mounting bracket
Helimax Tuned Pipe
Electronics:
CSM 360 HH gyro
futaba 9253 tail rotor servo
DS821 digital servo's on everything else (4 total)
OS .50 SX-H (2 1/2 gallons of fuel thru it)
Spare Parts:
1- stainless steel flybar
1- V2 spindle / feather shaft
2- sets of stock paddles
1- pair of stock tail rotor paddles
3- V1 blade grips (2 w/ bearings and thrust bearings)
1- v1 rotor hub
1- v1 feather spindle
1- stock seesaw w/ bearings and mixing arms
and whatever other raptor 30/50 parts i can find.
No transmitter, reciever, battery or switch.
here's the break down:
Everything listed $520 SHIPPED!
Everything listed but no carbon blades - $475 SHIPPED
Airframe and Engine - $250 SHIPPED
Airframe Only - $150 + shipping
Now.. the only thing thats not converted to the v2 is the clutch and clutch bell as i dont think the v2 clutch assembly performs any better than the v1, so it wasn't worth the money to me. The Canopy is a V1 still and the paint on it is flaking off very badly (paint job has been thru alot w/ 4 moves + hangar rash).
I'll consider offers on anything above but wont part out until the airframe sells
