Difference between 49bb and 29bb raptors

[nando19]

Hi there I have been looking at a raptor 30 kit this will be my first heli but what I was wondering is what is the difference between the 29 ball bearings and the 49 ball bearings? and another question is how do you know what size servos to fit the mounting holes of the raptor 30 do all standard size servos have the same mounting patterns/dimensions as each other?

Lets see, 49-29=20 difference. Just kidding Really, the more bearings you get with the kit the better off you are. Their smoother, tighter, and more precise than bushings. If the 30 takes standards than any standard servo will fit. This may help.

Yeah lol I know what bearings are and how they work but what I mean is wear doe an extra 20 bearings go like what does the 29 ball bearing one use to substitute the twenty ball bearings it doesnt have

The version 1 Raptor has 29bb and version 2 has 49bb. The extra bearings come from doubling up on places that had only one or two before. Like the V1 had only 1 bb on each tail blade grip and V2 added another for each grip so you have two sandwhiched together on each grip.

The added bearings make movement much smoother with less slop.

Hmm I really would like to see the heli to fully understand how it works you can only learn so much by reading does anyone know of some good online stores in Australia or even better some stores in NSW australia that I could pay a visit to and also these helicopters are made in Asia right I am goin to hong kong in a couple of weeks can you buy these choppers there for a better price or even if i could look at one over there but buy it over in Australia online sorry if i am being annoying but I am really interested but want to make sure I get everything right
