  • Raptor 90 Build

    So after being away from the hobby for 7 years or so ......i now have the bug back.

    my raptor build Started today - just would like to say thanks to those have emailed me offering parts there is just something about the raptor 90's i really love.

    so i went and opened the boxes i stashed away , to find my old raptor 90r just as i left her , starting the full strip down and rebuild.ive built many heli's over the years from synergy N9 to raptor 90se / raptor 90r / raptor 60 / also a Raptor 90 V-maxx .so i know these like the back of my hand.
    i really forgot what a had stashed away.

    still missing a few parts but i have plenty to crack on with - till all the other parts arrive.

    so i opened the main box to find my old raptor 90r ' bloody missed it if im honest , own this one from new ' never stacked or damaged it , i did all my crashing on the sim.
    so over the next few weeks i will progress on the build , then to the field , i almost went and got a NEW VERSion G4 , but i thought i hold and use what i have.

    missing a few parts - like a Quick Auto unit / and the mental housing for the clutch bearings and minor bits n bobs., temped to V-maxx it as i still have the kit.we will see what way this go's.....

      I remember buying an upgraded one way bearing housing for my old Rappy 90. I'm sure it came from Italy. Never locked that thing up, the sprag bearing was huge. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.
      Cheers,

              cheers for the heads up about the 90 3d auto unit. i will look in to it , looking for a Quick UK unit.

              anyone with any Raptor 90 or raptor 90se forsale contact me please .

              So today the postman ' delivered a few items ( gryo / servos / and few more items.)

              i started the strip down down of my old 90r . ( she started life as a 60 but converted it to 90 ) .........





              really dont look much at this stage , but i have so much to do and fit , going to hit it hard this weekend building up airframe with carbon frames ;
              really am temped to V-maxx this one or perhaps the next , i always seem to build 2 raptors , oddly let see what happens.

              still waiting a quite a lot to arrive , built quite of few of these in my time . struggling a little to find people stocking the parts.
