Default Upgrading my R30V1 to a R50,need help

It has the V2 frame now but What all do I need to get?I know I need the tail boom,belt and motor mount but is there more?Can I change the boom and belt for now so I can use my 600mm cf blades intill I get a OS hyper 50?

Is the OS.50 the biggest motor you can put in a Raptor 50?

The ThunderTiger 53 is the biggest right now, My experiences with TT engines make me steer clear of it though. I have read some rumors of OS coming out with a new engine. Can't go wrong with an OS 50.

Yeah,everyone seems to like OS so im hoping my new OS.37 is better than the OS.32 I have in it now.Im hunting everything down to change it over to the 50 right now.I'll get all the parts first and hopfully the new motor comes out once I get everything but if its too big i'll get the .50 for sure .Thanks

8.5 or 8.7 gear ratio (maingear and pinion gear)
50 or Titan tailboom
belt
tailrotor control linkage
600 blades
