There are many. In all fairness and mainly because i`m a very slow typer,the easiest way for you to find all of them is to go to the lower right corner and try the search feature .I typed in ESKY PARTS and got over 200 hits -get a hot cup of you favorite drink and explore,it`s really the best way.Hope i`ve steered you the right way,good hunting !

the parts listed at the heli hobby page are incompatable crap. i ordered 200.00 dolarsof parts and the only thing that works is the swashplate. don't buy from them you will be sorry.

To answer your question, there are not alot of upgrades available for the honey bee 2. the site I go to, www.heli-fever.com has the standard GWS direct-drive rear kit.
I've upgraded my HB2 with brushless main motor and DD rear. I've also got myself a nicer transmitter.
May I ask which swashplate you got to work with the Esky from Heli-hobby? You shoul dhave done your research about which parts would work and which would not.

i was able to re fit most of the parts with a glue gun and a box o xacto knives. the aluminum header and auto rotation gear don't fit. everything else does it's job fine now.

i've heard no one can find the proper gear ratio to upgrade a HB2 to brushless... but if you have how much did the total conversion cost you?
