Australia/NSW...where to get Raptor parts

[No Kraut, just me]

Anybody know who has the biggest supply of Raptor 30 parts in N,S,W as I
need a large amount of replacement parts for a major rebuilt.

You could try Kelletts hobbies in Sydney, but unfortunately, just of
late, it has been a little difficult to get a number of parts out of
them.

Try Cyberheli as well. Two days shipping to Sydney, and they always
have all parts in stock

Sorry I can't help with the supplier info, but if you find one, it might be
best to get prices first.

If you are really going for a 'major' rebuild, you might find that the cost of
parts isn't too far off a brand new kit, then you would have your old one
available for spares.

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that if you bought a Concept in
individual parts rather than a kit, you would end up paying over three times
more for the same thing. Frightening.

G'day, Alf
Hobbyhaven @ Burleigh Heads normally gets stuff for me overnight. What
about North Coast Hobbies? Apparently all the wholesalers are a bit
slow at the moment 'cause of the hobby fair last weekend.

Thanks
I start to do some hunting around

Just to give you guys an idea, here is what needs replacing:

Main Blades
Landing skid set
spindle shaft
Flybar
Mainshaft
Body with canopy
Clutch liner
ball links
decal Set
Main Gear
Main frame
Tail boom

And the engine was just run in :-)
Not very pretty being shot down just as you are coming out of a loop.
All we could see is all this smoke coming out of the high grass...that was
the engine screaming it's brain out and chewing through the clutch liner :-)

Jesus! Is it not worth buying a new kit?
