    Gears for the 400

    All,

    So Far I have managed to get the little s*d hovering (finally). However in doing so (with alot of hoping around) I have managed to bust the following;

    prop shaft within the boom (that was fun replacing) like a hole in the head.
    tail rotor cogs (plastic ones really dont last) even when greased up.
    HP tail rotor cog - seems dumb having a metal cog on the motor and plastics either side (as I am now awaiting more parts to arrive before I can replace and attempt another flight.

    My Question: Does anyone know if there are metal cogs for all the zoom400 (aftermarket) or from later models. as I am getting sick of just getting it trimmed and working then pow more parts needed (Protech are making endless money from me) without me even having big accidents. seems crazy !

    Its getting to the point where I am now toying with the idea of upgrading to a Raptor (not only for the longer flight times) and the fact that its petrol..... but due to the fact that the parts are more widely available and quality appears to have been taken into consideration by the maker

    Any hints tips or pointers WILL be greatly appreciated.

        Spares for Zoom

        Martin,

        I am presuming that the airframe you have is basically the same as the standard but more robust better quality etc. the belt drive system (is/does it consist of protech supplied parts) ?? I guess not ? in which case who do I contact for replacement parts (belts and so on). ?

        I would prefer to upgrade the zoom to the point where I am not having part failures (which are stopping me fyling) - also having multiple spares (is NEVER a bad idea regarding this hobby) :D

        Have you got and pics of the airframe and associated bits etc.

        I'll have a shimmy at them and let you know.

        Next issue - Would you be able to Ship to Zurich ? (I make the cover for the costs of that).

        Thanks for the prompt reply.

          Martin,

          2 points

          1) I am VERY interested in the bits so please don't think its a "fob off" (with the do you have pics comment) Just want an idea as to a realistic offer I intend on making. (Would £80 be unreasonable) not having seen the bits.

          2) Shipping to me.........

          Zurich location --> Dietikon 8953 (code is the postal number) although I think I will have to pay more to Customs. Have to pay for anything and Everything here - sometimes its a Joke.

          I await your reply.
