Thunder tiger gone under??

[TTboy53]

Anyone know why there is no product support / parts for TT stuff??

They discontinued almost every heli last year. Only the E700, 550, and the Mini Titan remain I think it is. And yes it is a pain in the ass to get parts for the ones that still do exist let alone the discontinued ones.

Got rid of my three last year. Finding the whole industry frustrating, I now just fly what I have, not interested in buying any more at all.

I agree 100%. The word "support" has vanished from the vocabulary of Thunder Tiger, among all other manufacturers. They'll take your money for a kit, but a crash results in a long, expensive treasure-hunt for parts. I'm done with helicopters. I'm going back to scratch-building plank planes - I can make my own parts.

i heard from a good source TT is going to have a warehouse in the US...

[darkfa8]

HRP is the USA based distributor/warehouse. So unless TT is going to open or authorize another distributor, or HRP is going to open more warehouse space, HRP is it for the TT line in the USA.

I have heard from a decent source as well that TT did some restructuring and some changes for the better will be happening.

But we will see how it works out. And it will be a challenge for them to gain trust again on a large scale.

I would love to see them come out with something new, unexpected, and awesome. I would probobly give it a go if they did.

The E700 is still one of the best flying helis on the market right now.

I just want a source for parts for my Raptor 30, and my beautiful Raptor 50 Titan!

[VortechZ230]

Thunder Tiger is doing exactly like what Kyosho did, leaving everyone in the dark with no parts!... There must be a lot of Raptors left in the dark with no parts support!... Ouch!!

I know when I buy something in the 700 and up class (which I want next) that past parts support will be a major factor when deciding on brand. I guess I got lucky with the Shuttle. I thought it would be a fly it until something breaks and shelve it or part it.

I have 2 E700s, finally put one in the dirt. Got my parts today no problem from Dennis @ thehelifarm.com

I plan on flying my'n for a long time yet

Am hoping my raptor 50 never falls... She still flys and would hate to see her grounded 😕

In New and just purchased an old raptor from a guy who had it built and then left it on the shelf for years. Engine hasn't even been run. Changed out a few dry y rotted parts through ebay. I was lucky as he had 2 extra cash kits but not finding upgrades or at the least spare parts is frustrating. I shattered a trail rotor blade and decided to buy up one ebayers stock. 5 replacement blade packs. Time to start buying for the future if you intend to keep flying these machines.
