well tonight I was at the work bench thinking(uh oh ) and was looking at the old Raptor G2/wakera 36 and began to look at it and one of my old CPP frames.
then it hit me that I can make my own beltdrive using the rear section of the
POS G2 . From what I have pieced together so far it looks like it'lll work.
I will take pics as I go (and hope it turns out okay, If so I will post a right up on the project..... wish me luck...

I didn't even know what a Raptor G2 was, but these promotional pictures are funny as heck.

I'm not convinced that it's flying in any of them. We are made to think that it can fly. Haha

I like the blur effect in the one pic to make it look like it's flying, even tho the tail blades are bent at an angle.... wow thats retarded

It's more stable IMO because the head speed is up. BUT I've noticed when i climb suddenly the tail
sometimes has trouble keeping up, Maybe my gyro, I'm using an RCX-500 may need to upgrade to a 401...
