Anyone have any updates?

its been almost a year sense I last flew my Forza 450.

I stopped emailing them after I got no responses a few months ago

I'm also very disappointed with JR! I was just getting back into the hobby and never flew anything smaller than a Raptor 50 and never a electric.

I've had a long history with JR using there radios, Servos and helicopters.

So, when I decided to take the plunge I picked the 450 Forza. This was to get me started with electrics. I had a servo strip a gear which resulted in a minor blade impact. Not even enough to really damage the blades, but enough to bust the bolt boss out of the bottom of the main gear.

Been trying to find a main gear for a while. No Joy, And it doesn't look like there's going to.

I don't know what JR's thinking is on customer loyalty but they have lost mine. I feel hung out to dry. All my Jr gear is gone with the exception of the Forza 450. It hangs on the wall as a reminder as to what JR Thinks of there customers.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a happy ending to this story.

I have now co-opted a new kit originally planned for my daughter to being a second set of spares after it became apparent that this was not going to get resolved. Unfortunately, I'm down to my last spare main gear otherwise I'd offer one up.

It would be great if someone with either the cad or 3d printing capability would churn out a number of copies of this most important part.

I've been eyeing a new kit with electronics on the LHS shelf vs moving off this heli. Pretty expensive way to replace a part. But probably not too many of those around.

No KST here. But i have considered them for 450's in future. I'm using MKS 93 and 95's. The kit just arrived. No servos but you're welcome to the ones from the first kit and spare gears, servo gears that is Strip too easy! It does have the JR FBL which you can have as well if you like. BTW the 450 kit in the LHS is still going for list price.

I sent JR America an E-Mail concerning the main gear I need for my JR Forza 450. This is the response I received.

Any idea how many teeth is on the drive belt? Or, any other model heli belt would work?

Hi, any news for spare parts?

I know that this place had a good stock of JR Forza 450 parts. Some have been scooped up but I think he still has a fair amount on hand. They are not on his website so I would recommend an email or call. Hope this helps some of you out until JR gets some parts flowing again.
