Status: offline 		so i have a raptor 30v2 Super Combo edition with everything from that super combo except now im using spektrum reciever and DX6i. about three or four flights ago i started doing 3D with the heli, and i'm already mad as all heck at it! now i'm mad i didn't get the 50. i want to turn it into a 50 however... but i want it to perform like a titan. how could i get it to do that? should i turn the 30 into a 50 with the new engine and the parts needed (main gear, tail boom etc.) or should i sell the 30 and buy a 50, or buy a 50 airframe and engine and put the servos into the new airframe? will those servos limit my abilities? i may need faster ones i think, what are some good servos that aren't half the cost of the heli?

Thanks in advance

Status: offline 		LOL we all want more power, best to just get a 90 now and be done with it

Kidding...

I'd buy a 50 airframe if it were me, sell the airframe and engine.

What servos?

Align DS610's are perform well and are quite affordable.

Status: offline 		i'm using S 1903 servos right now. they aren't the fastest things, but my Hitec aircrafts servos that are odly in my boat are slower. i'm assuming the 30's head is what make's it more slow to roll/flip? the titan looks like it performs very fast maneuvers. i could get that airframe, put the servos in, then wait till i sell the 30 and engine to get new, faster servos. the tail servo on it is fine and fast. although the 90 thing also doesn't seem like the worst of ideas honestly. just more fuel consumption.... which i can't really afford. will the 30's servo's fit into a titan frame? i'm refering to the newer one, the CCPM one that i've seen whip around alot haha,.

Thanks!

Status: offline 		Yea at .19 those servos are kind of lame and I personally wouldn't run them in a 50 you intend to do aerobatics with.

Take a piece of advice here, you will spend less in the long run if you buy decent the first time.

Just my .02

Status: offline 		68$ is quite affordable? okay... i have some HS-425BB servos laying around. would one of those on throttle be fine? they aren't super fast.

Status: offline 		would converting it to the 50, but putting an Align head and those align servos make it an agile like the titan can fly?
