Hello,

The major advantage of the quick is that it comes with all the upgrade parts directly out of the box. Metal swash, washout, guide pin, seesaw, bearing blocks, tail pitch lever, tail pitch slider, and the list goes on. What this does for you is that the helicopter wont develop the slop that many plastic machines will. Just the items listed would cost over $200 to upgrade. The other thing to consider is the cost of replacement parts and how many break during a crash. Our replacement parts are the cheapest you'll find.

If you decide on the raptor we sell the full metal head and full metal tail for $250

Sincerely,
Jon Yuhas
