help finding parts

[wbattan]

Hello,

I have a Kyosho concept 30dx that I have bought out from moth ball and need a few parts to get her flying again, can anyone help with parts or lead me in a direction of finding some.

thanks,
Bill

You will be very lucky to find parts....I have a concept dx which needs parts too......I am thinking about using whats left as a project.....the biggest problem is finding the right main blades.........standard size for 30's is 12mm I think.....the dx uses 8mm.

What parts are you after?

I am looking for the main gear and the Tail Pc Plate for the rotor.

Hmmmm.....the closest parts that might fit would be Kyosho Nexus stuff...and the Nexus is hard to find parts for.

If parts are a struggle...is it worth the effort? dont get me wrong, the concept is a neat looking heli but very difficult to source parts for.

I have most of a nexus 30. Tail boom, main gear , skids, tail case all trash. Main frames , extra main shaft, spindle, head parts plenty of spare rods, rod ends, Take $ 75 for all. Pics available. Jimco

There you go....my concept looks like it would be ok for nexus parts....my LHS has the remains of a Nexus which would provide parts aplenty....

I would change:

Rotor head....nexus head will take stock 12 mm blades (500mm)

Boom...this can be replaced with Nexus boom

pitch slider...doesnt need changing but the concept slider goes down as the pitch rods are connected to the trailing edge of the blade holders...the nexus system has its rods connected to the leading edge of the holders.

most parts are the same....but bear in mind that if you crash and break the mixing levers then you will struggle to get spares....best get freindly with a machine shop.


all in all theres no reason the concept cant fly, but I would definately 'mod' it so you can get parts....Century USA used to do crash kits for the Nexus...they might still do.

As mentioned before...it depends on your budget....and how curious and patient you are....it will give you greater fun if you like tinkering.

Let me know what you do...be interesting

I am a novice with a concept 30 dx. like new, except I got slightly out of shape on my first hover and busted about an inch off one of the tail rotor blades. Any of you know where I can find these or what I can substitute?

[hawkman]

Should be ok with typical 30 size tail rotor blades....I say typical but some blades have more area than others.....most RC stores will have tail blades....its a matter of comparing sizes.

Kyosho Nexus tail blades are the same size...I think....but Nexus stuff is getting rare too.
