Compatible parts between 550 and X5

[Zeta30]

So what parts are compatible between the X5 and the 550?

Compatible

X5 Tail drive 61 tooth= Hurricane main gear 61
Landing gear, skids = same but X5 pipe work is chrome
X5 boom supports are 90mm longer but will work and be shiny
X5 tail hub/grips = straight fit
X5 tail box,levers,slider etc = hurricane
X5 front TT drive = hurricane TT
X5 400mm flybar = fit hurricane should you desire and the cutouts for the grub screws are spot on

Not compatible

Mast

Zeta, I've started taking a few pics and am planning on doing a thread on this during the week. Just need to get a few moments.

Blades I reckon, plus I would guess ...
paddles, tail stuff, plus I'm fairly certain the the under-carraige is the same

That would be great Vas, thanks! The X5 looks amazing. Would you mind taking a pic of the X5 canopy on the 550? I know it would not be a direct fit but I think with some work it could make the 550 very easy to see. Thanks!

I went ahead and bought a mast for the X-5 because a site had them on sale. I can say with 100% certainty that the main mast between the X5 and 550 are not compatible. The X5 mast is about 1/2" longer and the holes are spaced differently as well.

Hey Guys
Just so you know, the X4 front and main gear hub is the same as for the hurricane. Some sites have hurricane parts out of stock, actually have the identical part for the X4 listed.
Cheers
