Do i have to do a major teardown to replace a mainframe on raptor 30v2. I bought heli arf and am not all that familiar with disassembly and assembly. I have been studying the manual. Any feed back would be appreciated

Unfortunately YES. it is a P.I.T.A

Welcome to the reason you should always buy a kit. Do yourself a favor and track down a set if JIS (japanese industreal standard) phillips screw drivers, they won't make a mess of the phillips screws in the Japanese kits. Keep track of what goes where and make good use of http://www.raptortechnique.com

While you have it apart spin all the bearings with a pencil and any that feel notchy or gritty replace.

Barracuda, I couldn't agree more. Had I known then what I know now........... At least I have the motor issues resolved. Junked the tt and installed an os
Are there different bearings on the Raptor 30v2 or are they all the same?
Any other tips??

There are different size bearings on the Raptor. Check the manual for the size and part # of each bearing you will need to replace.

Barracuda you recommende JIS standard screwdrivers. I looked on ebay with 0 hits. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
