Raptor kit with 29BB and ARF with 49BB?
Why is it that the kit version of the raptor only has 29 ball bearings while the ARF version has 49?
What happened to the other 20 in the kit? Do you have to purchase them separately?
I used to own a raptor 30V1 before I sold it as I had the NEXUS 46 as well and two was just too much! Am thinking of buying another one again but the V2 (of course)!

I assume you mean the Raptor 30V2. I don't think you can get the 50 with only 29BB. They offer the 30 KIT in a sport(29BB) version and a pro(49BB) version. You can get the BB upgrade for about $20.

Where are the extra bearings located at?
I bought a V2 skeleton that came with 29BB. I got it for just about free, which is fine because I'm adding the heliproz Mavrikk full metal head, elevator and aileron levers and otherwise upgrading it.

There are a lot of places that just have bushings. The upgrade replaces those bushings with bearings. It comes with a diagram of where to put them and what to replace. Makes the controls opperate smoother in most cases.

well, i'm not going to buy a bearing kit just to find out where the bearing go, especially when I'm already upgrading 75% of the parts with bearings in the course of other upgrades!
I just wanna know where the other 25% go so I can upgrade those locations.
