Default Tail Upgrade for HBK2

Hey guys,

Where is a good place to get the tail upgrade(I think it is called the 43 tooth conversion kit)?

Thanks!

I just searched BP hobbies, but to no avail. What is the real name of the upgrade?

Thanks for the help

KR hobbies is xtreme's US distributor and I think they have them in stock, if not there is a guy from Canada that sells them on ebay, he always has them in stock.

I installed it this morning and flew it. Wow, I am impressed. The tail is much snappier, and when I increase the throttle, the tail doesnt swing out on me like it used to. The only pain I found was trying to get the new belt idlers on. I also think my belt might be rubbing against the tube or something. It looks like it is hitting the top of the boom as it comes out the tail end. Anyone know how to fix it?

I think you have to use the belt that came with it. There is quite a size difference.

Yeah, maybe- I couldnt believe how fast mike got it up here to Alaska. Usually if they give you a time frame of 2-5 days, it takes at least double that. I am VERY impressed with Mike at ushobbysupply.
