Default Raptor 30/50 and scale fuses

I have read about the interfearence issues with the pitch arm and scale fuses but what can you do about it? Is there a modification or after market arm? I have a Raptor 50 and would like to put it in a Jet Ranger.

Tanks!

You can do one of two things,

1 cut the existing pitch arm just infront of the second mounting hole for the ball link.

2 buy an aftermarket pitch arm, they are shorter.

Also, there is an eCCPM conversion for the Raptor 30/50 for like 80 bucks, gets rid of the pitch arm completly, but makes the overall width of the frame a bit wider...

Can find that here: [link]http://www.tppacks.com/products.asp?cat=17[/link] along with the instruction manual which will give you a good idea of the finished product...im thinking of doing this at some point...

Thats a sharp bird, will a stock/sport muffler work in there or do you need a specially designed one to fit?

I have a raptor .30 and would like a Augusta 109 fuse for it. Century makes that fuse but there chart shows that mods are needed. I m not much of a mod guy unless it is a bolt on mod if I need to iwill either up grade this .30 to a .50 or buy a .50 V2 and the fuse any one know how hard it would be to do this
