    Help! Money to spend!!

    Hi All,
    A have a few hundrard quid to blow this lunchtime on heli stuff!! (BobJ - I can see you are logged in - start rubbing your hands now!).

    My Raptor 30 needs more power - dispensing with the usual "buy a 600n or a knight" answers, how can I eek a bit more power out of it without upgrading it to a 50?

    The current setup is:
    OS37
    Zimmermann
    Coolpower 15%

    I'm thinking a new exhaust (MP or Hatori) and running 30%? will this give me more bang or wont I notice?

    Am I correct in thinking that fitting the green TT flybar paddles will perk up the cyclics?

    Cheers for any advice.
    I wish my 30 was a 50!

    Thats as good a place to go as any!
    Muscle pipe + 30% - more power and helps keep the engine cooler too.
    Buy some spares too, maybe?

      Cheers Rob,
      Do you know if the Raptor 50 autorotation gear fits the 30 without any fuss?

          you have a few hundred to spend so you may not want to hear this but i would upgrade it to a 50, more than enough money to do so and is as good as buying a new heli this upgrade. your setup is pretty good and you won't get much better on a 30 size setup. if fuel consumption is an issue get an older TT50, plenty of power and quite frugal for a 50.

          what aboout your radio, servos, gyro? it might be better upgrading here if you don't want to get a 50 upgrade.

          cheers

            Money is now spent!

            Back from Skyline - Bob was most helpful as always - thanks.

            I know what you are saying about upgrading to a 50, but I needed a few other bits so only realy had £100 to throw at the raptor. It needs to see me another season while I save for a Vibe 50.

            So, now I have a very shiny Hatori pipe!
            A CSM RL10
            Some very green paddles
            A mains LiPo charger so I can charge at work
            A new Lipo for my Trex
            and some change! (how did that happen!)

            Cheers,

            Simon

              100 quid is very different from a few hundred. you can't be married, you need to say it was only 100 quid dear and pocket the bill for 300.

              cheers
