You can get the original HBK2 upgrade parts from most of the shops online: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rc+helicopter&btnG=Google+Search

there should be no "s" after production.

www.xtreme-production.com

I know a guy in Canada that sells king2 parts through ebay, he's got all the released products already and has already ordered the future ones as soon as they come out.

Not too get off topic but,Michael when do you think that you might be getting more of the Hobbywing Pentium 25A brushless esc in?



high flyer 777 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/1/2007 6:39:03 PM)

I'm really curious about the new HBK2 Xtreme upgrade parts
to see if they really improve the HBK2. Especially parts such
as the 43 tooth pulley w/belt for the tail & the aluminum anti-
rotation bracket for example.

Here are some more Xtreme parts that will be coming out.

Fly bar control system
Carbon main frame
Landing skid
Canopy
Metal rotor head & tail rotor system

& there will be more upgrades are to follow!



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 4:13:06 AM)

Did anyone see any pricing? Maybe I missed it, but I didnt see any. Looks like good parts though.



high flyer 777 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 4:23:27 AM)

The xtreme-production.com site is the mfg's. site.
Druss has the guy from Canada (his name is Ken)
site in his thread. I have purchased parts from him
before. He's a great guy. There are a couple of parts
listed, and Ken will continue to list more of the HBK2
Xtreme parts as they are released from Xtreme.
There are prices listed. Shipping is $8.00 for the
first part ordered, all parts after that are free shipping.



Druss -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 4:32:18 AM)

I tend to use Ken from his ebay store a lot, he'll do price matching if he can as well and you can't beat his shipping price. This is a little off thread but I can't stand sellers on ebay (or anywhere) who try to make a profit off the shipping, one guy wanted me to pay $100 to ship 4 tail blades, 2 sets of paddles and one receiver. This would all fit into one small 3" x 4" box and would probably only cost him $15 plus the box (from US to Canada).



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 5:43:37 AM)

Well the 43 tooth belt conversion looks nice....But I just pulled out a tail rotor I had laying around and it has a 9 teeth and not a 10 tooth gear on it so that would put the stock ratio to 1 to 3.55 not 1 to 3.2 and with there new gear it would be 1 to 4.7 not 1 to 4.3. If 1 to 4.3 is optimal they would need to 40 tooth gear which would yeald 1 to 4.4. Any thoughts or am I just thinking too much??



Druss -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 6:12:41 AM)

remember that the xtreme parts are supposed to increase performance, more teeth would provide a faster tail rotor and more authority at lower main rotor rpms (think i got that right). i've already got the stock cnc aluminum head but i'd love an entire grey or steel colored one since i'm putting an airwolf fuse on it and I don't think it had purple rotors in the show did it?



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 6:08:42 PM)

Well I guess what I am getting at is that if they are realy using a 43 toothed gear they are custom cutting it. I have a source that I can get the belts and the gear stock and make this myself but the gear stock only comes in specific number of teeth. I can get a 40, 42, 44, but not a 43. Now the stock belt is cut from a wider belt as if you look at the belt it only has half of the part number info on it. So I am just wondering if the same mistake was made on the tooth count and it should realy be 42 or 44. Does anyone have one of these that could post the tooth count and the info on the side of the belt?



Druss -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 6:16:33 PM)

as these just came out I doubt that anyone is going to have one yet. maybe contact ken through his ebay store at gadgets and collectables canada. i have a link to his site on my first post



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 7:47:53 PM)

Well I just ordered the parts from Ken so I will let everone know what the stuff looks like when it arrives.



high flyer 777 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/2/2007 8:18:37 PM)

What were all the Xtreme parts that you ordered?



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/3/2007 1:40:19 AM)

I ordered the turnbuckels, anti rotation bracket, metal head stopper, 43 tooth belt conversion, extra belt and the rubber things for the landing gear.



Druss -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/3/2007 2:38:39 AM)

nice, if you're looking for another upgrade microheli has the tail pitch slider link



high flyer 777 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/3/2007 3:54:07 AM)

Hey jstern429, get back & let us know how the parts perform.
Would really like to know.



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/3/2007 4:54:15 PM)

I will check out the MicroHeli tail pitch slider. I already have the swash plate and the washout set, but I havent had time to install the stuff as of yet. I also contacted Xtream about pricing and they gave me another on line store that caries the parts and they seem to have slightly better pricing, but I dont know about shipping and havent purchased anything from them as of yet. (http://www.xtremecx2.com) KR's hobbies, it look slike he just has some of the upgrade parts for now, but nothing as far as stock parts.



high flyer 777 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/5/2007 9:44:10 PM)

Hey jstern429, I went ahead and ordered the same xtreme parts as you did.
There's 6" of snow on the ground here and it's gonna be a long winter. Guess
I need an indoor project installing upgrade parts for my HBK2. I'm a rookie
and I don't feel like I should step up to the all metal head & tail upgrade parts
till I can get the experience & asure myself that I can keep it in the air. Would
like to do that project in the future. Still wish someone would film & burn a HBK2
dvd complete set-up & flying techniques for us HBK2 flyers. There seems to be
such a need & market. Heck, look at all the questions on this & all the other forums.



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/6/2007 4:48:20 AM)

I here ya, I am new to this also and just looking at getting the bird the best it could be to make it easer to fly. I have a guy about 2-3 blocks away that has one two, he can fly it very well so Iwill be looking to him to give pointers on flying. Check out YouTube and look up a guy named subzzzzzzero, he has several videos on the basic setup and it helped me out with something I didnt even think of, balanceing the bird. I will probily hold off on the head & tail stuff also for now (besides I can stand the E-Sky color[:'(]) unless I just get a great deal on it. I have picked up several other HBK2's that came with some of the metal parts, but dont plan on putting them on until I can at lease hover the thing.



jstern429 -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/13/2007 12:17:55 AM)

YAHOO...... all of the Xtream parts showed up today and they look like very high quality. The 43 tooth belt upgrade even comes with two new bearings to add to the belt rollers to fix the belt problem. I will post pictures as soon as I get them installed.



bkind -> RE: xtreme HBK2 upgrade parts just launched (12/13/2007 2:19:06 AM)

The extreme gear belt mod works well. Picks up the speed of the tail rotor enough that i can tell the difference by the sound. Holds a lot better on spool up. I don't or should say my skills are not up to any heavy manuvers, but on heavy punch outs the tail does not kick now like it used too.
The extra bearings are a nice touch.
