No$

Hi. This is my first writing, and I hope everybody enjoyed the holidays. I ordered an HB2 (6ch, 3D, CCPM), and was wondering the best US source for hop up parts for this copter like motor, blades, auto-rotation clutch, and motor heat sinks? I think any place in China wants $35 to ship anything. Has anybody had any experience with souping this model up yet? Has anybody sucessfully flown it inverted, and if so what mods did it take? I doubt it can do it bone stock. Thanks, and enjoy 05'!

I got carbon fiber blades from helihobby.com. That place is expensive but I don't have toworry about breaking them and seem to get slightly more lift (used hornet cp blades). Also ordered a motor but didn't get to screw around with that yet. Got this at x-mas, still working on hovering right =) I hope you like a challenge

I am told a lot of the Dragonfly parts interchange also.

www.heli-fever.com isn't bad. Only deals in Esky 3D stuff.

These seem to be the best prices I've found, don't know source country:

I found a barebone HB2 here, source is China, but shipping not that bad:

(busted my HB2 up pretty bad, barebone not much more $ than individual parts)

These upgrades are supposed to fit the HB2. They have a really nice CNC aluminum head:
