The Forza 450 is the older 3s model, the 450ex shows as still available

My season is just about over and I haven't flown my Sylphides since November and my Forza EX since October and can't get any information to indicate if or when parts might be available so don't hold your breath. It's not even clear what the current arrangement with RC Depot is on whether they are buying up existing heli stock or taking delivery of new stock what parts are actually available. As a long time JR advocate, I can honestly say that I have lost all respect and trust in JR and I for one will be changing brands as soon as I can save enough money

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Really tough having an all JR fleet. I've been very tempted to get the Hiro Ito Edition of the E12 for quite a while now.

Well after a Elev servo getting stuck in the back position while I was in a big air loop , it happened on the first loop , I came out of IU 2 and made it til the 3rd loop and thought I will hit TH at the top.

I don't think it would have mattered when I hit TH

It hit so stinking hard, as my loops had to get tighter and tighter

But I did find frames , From Fusuno , I did use 1 of them awhile back and they were very good and visible and the holes matched very well
From Judy @ Fusuno

"I have checked with the warehouse, all of them ( yellow, green, orange) are in stock.
If you need, please let me know how many set you would like to order."

Thanks
Judy

15.00 usd for a set of 2 , Thought I would let you guys know they got frames anyways , as I now have only 1 side left in my tote box now

Hi,
I am looking from main gears for my JR Forza 450.
Any idea where I can find?
Is RC Japan closed?

[Raptorapture]

Unfortunately, I don't know where to find them. But on the RC Japan front, they're not closed down, just stopped selling JR.

There is some issue with Jr and their Hobby Division and them setting up a factory in Malaysia

So you will not find the high consumption items for the Forza 450 and other Jr Heli's

When these guys have this beside the part numbers , Well I see that the issue with Jr and their factory is on going

I fly 3 x Forza 450 1 x 6S 1 x 4S and 1 x 3S , I am 1 feathering shaft crash away from only flying 2 Forza 450

So I think it was last year Aug this parts problem started and it looks like there is no end to this in sight and now Jr Americas is hooped

Here is also another site that has some parts but no gears

Good Luck man do post if you find any gears eh ?

Looks like an opportunity for a 3D printing shop. I wonder if any materials used in 3D printing are suitable for gears.

JRA has informed us that Forza parts are on order and on the way.

As I know more (i.e. get any info on delivery dates) I will post them here.

Radios and servos appear to be the first things to be produced at the Malaysia factory (28X's are in again, as well as some servos-I just got another 28X). I suspect we will see receivers next, at this point.

I AM keeping my Forza's (450 and 700).

[Papabill]

Please, let us know!

[Ah Clem]

Will do sir!

[Cman]

I hope this is true, summer is coming and I really want to get the Forza 450 in the air after almost a year of collecting dust.

[Diogenes]

Absolutely badass.......the 450 forza is probably my favorite heli. Had been stocking up on parts where I could to keep it up. I have three flying as well. Tri blade 450, 450, and 450ex. All running in one

[Chep]

The Forza 450 and the Oxy 3 are the only small helis worth keeping in my fleet at this time. I baby the heck out of my Forza to avoid crashes even though I have a decent stash of parts for it. I hope you guys can get your parts to keep flying the Forza.

[Redline00]

Any new information on the availability of parts?

[Asul]

It looks like we are getting BS from JR, but I hope not. I learned to fly with the 450 when parts were available and the only part I had to replace was a main gear. I'm moving to more advanced maneuvers and the easiest to fly heli that I have is the Forza 450. I don't own larger heli's, but the 450 seams to me like it flies larger than a regular 450. I have some spares but the part that usually need replacing is the part you don't have. I also have an Oxy 3, an excellent designed and flying heli, but not as good in wind and requires higher skill level to fly.
I guess for now I'll fly it like an old lady and keep my fingers crossed that JR delivers.

[Ah Clem]

I am waiting too, and keeping my ear to the ground.

As soon as I hear anything I will post it here!

[Raptorapture]

Forza 450 my new precious! Don't want to be needing parts
