Outrage 550 spares? Compatibility?

[trillian]

I posted this on RR but haven't had any replies as yet.

Just curious what the outlook is like on spares for the 550? Things like
main shaft, tail belt, boom, main gear etc. the usual crash / wear items.

Also are any of those things compatible with the Fusion?

I have a 550 airframe and I love the look of it and am keen to
install motor / esc and servos etc. but I'm worried about having a heli
that I can't get parts for in the future.

Most bits are for the 550 only it does share a few bits but not alot. Outrage still list the 550 on their site, so I should just fly it, I've got 3 550's at the moment. The fusion and velocity are all torque tube driven tails.

whether you want to spend money on parts for this heli, that's the other question.
It's got a bunch of design flaws (too small blade grip bearings, an elevator bell crank that slips, unreliable belt drive, a lower canopy mounting bolt that breaks in every crash and thus breaks the bottom plate).
The 550 size is great, but I gave up on the heli, even though I'd have the spares.

The Outrage 550 shares a lot of parts with the Velocity 50 and the Fusion 50. Download each manual and check to code numbers in the parts diagrams towards the end of each manual. If the code numbers are identical it is the same part.

I have an Outrage 550 main gear ( i think ) that has smoke damage but otherwise perfect.

If it's of any use ill post it FOC, just drop me a PM with your address.

Cheers
