I was thinking, since I'm pretty excited about this new Vibe...maybe we could make a thread for all the people that have had trouble getting parts for their JR birds to post and then send them a link/copy. They make quality stuff, their radio and servos are great as are their helicopters, but who wants to buy one that you can't get parts for.
If you've had difficulty getting parts for one of your JR birds (or any other part for that matter) I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a minute to explain.

I have a vibe 90 and have never waited more then a week for parts, I once had to wait 2 weeks to get a kit, but thats about it. Where do you live, here in canada parts for JR are easy to get, I heard that it was more difficult years ago, but it doesnt seem to be the case now. Atleast not for the vibe90, I actually have gotten parts in 3 days!

I'm getting one soon, My LHS doesn't stock parts from them but they are only a day or 2 away, i can live with that. Beats being yet ANOTHER T-rex 600 pilot:thumbup:

No problem getting JR Heli parts. Sure once in a great while it might take an extra week or so , but that's been rare. I just go down to my LHS and order what i need. Then in about 2 or 3 days they are here, No Problems......

The Vibe 50 are starting to show up more often as being in stock. Any new heli is going to be tough to get replacement parts.. Dealers base what they stock based on popularity, so as not to buy a bunch of parts that just sit on the shelf. As more kits are sold and more requests for parts are requested, the stock availablility will go up.

yeah, unfortunately the JR line isn't as popular as it should be, price is still a big concern with the pilots i fly with, however the Vibe 50 parts arent much more than my raptor (thankfully). like DHC said, once they hit the streets and people realize how awesome they are, they will become a hot commodity.:smokin:
Hey CrashandBurn, where in Canada do you get your parts. Everywhere I check carry the parts but do not stock them so nearly all the parts take 3-4 weeks because of them being on backorder.
