  • Help! Raptor E550 upgrades proving challenging!

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me please: I've been going through the process of upgrading my Raptor E550 with a Thunder Tiger flybarless conversion and Ace GT5 controller. Despite the GT5 marketing confirming that it is compatible with 90, 120, 135 and 140 degree swashplates, the 90 degree setting only works with a mechanical 1 servo set up (I.e. Raptor nitro series). The E550 has a ECCPM 3 servo 90 swashplate which would have worked fine with a BeastX but not with Thunder Tiger's own GT5!

    Anyway, the long and short of it is the only way I can get around this is to replace the 90 degree swash with the optional 140 degree swash (part number PV0566) but there doesn't appear to be on in the UK currently, not even at Amerang. Doh!

    I'm also trying to source a 10T electric motor pinion (PV0546) again with a similar lack of success, despite having trawled RC outlets, EBay etc.

    Does anyone by any chance have spare ones of these they would be willing to sell or know of any suppliers that have stock of these parts? Any help and advice gratefully received: I do have these parts on back order but want to get flying ASAP so would be very happy to find them sooner if possible!

    Cheers
    Dom
