I carashed my Raptor 30 during hover. It was about 6 inches in the air when my TX shut off. I mistake i will not make again. My Raptor has a bit of wobble in it which is quite evident when you look at the tail. It wants too rock up and down . I have already replaced the Fly bar,main shaft, tail boom, and of course all blades. What should be next to replace??

any help appreciated

sounds as if your head speed is to low if the heli is nodding.

If you crashed it you can bet your going to have to replace the feathing spindle, the metal shaft that connects the blade grips. You can tell if its bent even slightly by removing one blade and putting the other out to its flight position. Turn the bolt with a hex driver and watch the tip of the other blade. If it moves up and down its bent.

Also make sure that you use some sort of silicon dielectric grease on the rubber dampeners when you put the spindle in or you will get the wobbles.

And last, as stated, low head speeds will give Rappy's a case of the wobbles.
