Need engine for Raptor 60

[silence012]

Hi all,

Does anyone of you has spare nitro engine for Raptor 60 and wants to sell it?

Do you maybe know any available on the market that can feet in the Raptor 60?

I am very new with nitro engines so sorry if questions sounds silly

Cheers,
Branko

getting spare parts for a raptor 60 is getting more difficult so it might not be a good idea to invest in what could be a "one crash" heli.

Does the frame you have include the fan and clutch parts?
the stock version was designed to fit thunder tiger own 70 size engine and most os engines up to 90 size,

YS engines require a different fan.

The Raptor 60 will fit any "big block" engine.
The model is the "Raptor 60", but it uses a .61cu (10cc) motor.
This includes .70cu, .91cu, 1.05cu & 1.20cu

All motors that are .61cu and bigger will drop right into the airframe.

Finding a .61 motor will be tough.
But, do not buy a .60cu motor - it will not fit. That is a "small block" and the mounts are the same format as the .50cu / .55cu

Thanks Ticedoff8 for detailed answer. So if I understood correctly, If I buy some OS .91 for instance it will fit and in case I am not using Raptor any more (crash for instance) I can use the same motor for some newer model like Trex 600 N, or similar ?!!
So in that case it is not that bad investment

As I said: Motors from the .61 to the 1.20 are all "big block" motors.

The Trex 600 is a 50-size heli (similar in size to a Raptor 50).
The stock T600N will not fit a .91 without modifications.
It will fit motors in the .50 to .60cu size ("small block").
You can find threads about the "big block" conversion for the Trex 600N.

A .91 motor will fit any of the "700 size" or "90 size" helicopter kits.
EG: Trex 700N

The market for "60 size" helicopters dried up quickly.
The Raptor 60 had a short life.
Thunder Tiger quickly morphed it into the Raptor 90 by stretching the tail and adding longer main blades.
The main problem with the R90 was that the clutch and transmission were still built to stand up to the power of a .61 motor. Those parts were not really built to stand up to the power of the .91 engines.

But, if your goal is to move up to a 700 size heli, a .91 would be a good 1st step.

I literally took all the electronics and engine out of my R90 SE/3D and bolted them into a Trex 700N flybar equipped heli.

FYI: The Thunder Tiger G4 nitro has a lot of compatible parts for that will fit on the old R60 / R90 frame.
Not everything is compatible. But it is worth noting.

Also, the .91 maybe too powerful for the stock R60.
The R60 uses a shorter tailboom and blades than the R90.
An R60 with a .91 could be to be a handful.
It could also be a blast to fly.

I actually fly a standard raptor 60 with an aluminum head, still one of the nicest flying helis, great size, not bad on fuel, good power, and easy to see.

I happen to have an OS 61 WC engine with an original Curtis Youngblood muscle pipe that was designed for it.

I would sell for $75 shipped, you will not be dissappointed. I took out the OS 61 to upgrade to the OS 70 and there is little difference.

The 90's were larger, had more power, more weight, longer blades, cost more, etc. I like the 60's better IMO. Finding parts is the drawback.

The 60's used 680mm blades, the 90s used 700's, you can stretch the 60 to a 90 but you have to change the gearing for larger motor, torque tube, tail boom, and main blades. Depending on your tail servo setup you may have to change the tail servo wire/pushrod...

PM me if you want more info or set up a phone call.

Any info on the possibility of another clutch compatible to a R60 size? The clutch broke and we can't find a replacement.

Tman49 you can get a clutch from quick uk but then you'll need to get a 90 3d clutch bell it'll all fit on a 60 just fine

Thanks for your reply. I'll pass the info along.
