Which parts to buy?

How do you guys know which parts to buy. I look up Gaui 200 parts at places and there are multiple parts that are the same. There are 2 thin spindles, both the same with 2 different part numbers and that is the same with a number of items.

Welcome to the wacky world of Gaui... they use multiple part numbers for the same part when they are shared across multiple helicopters. A 3mm bearing is one part number when it is used in a Hurricane 200 and a different part number when the same part is used in an X2. Some sites, like ClubHeli try to provide cross references when possible. The back of the User Manual has a parts list for your specific heli... if you let us know what part number it is, we can help try to find you other part numbers if you can't find anyone stocking the part you are looking for.

It's insane, it wasn't Like this before. Anyway, I debate whether it's worth fixing this discontinued Heli or just getting align 250. I just have a lot of parts for this thing.

I hear ya... I have enough spares to keep my bird flying for years-- if you can't find something let me know I probably have it...
