If you go back to the site you should be able to navigate and see what parts they carry for the particular heli you are interested in. There is a good chance if the part isn't in their list they either don't carry it or its not avaiable. I have placed quite a few orders in the last year and have always liked the product I have bought,and thought I have got value for money spent. They are having a little shipping issue right now but that is mostly Chian's fault and the Chinese New Year. Appears the better part of the counrty just shuts down.. Not sure if the heli is the same one I was looking at but one 50 size heli was about 149. and they had an OS motor for $199. or an ASP for $50.I have had a few ASP motors and once dialed in ran as well as many others

The model is the TZ Frenzy 50 for 199.99. There is no parts listing as of yet, but soon to come...must be a new model??

I still question the logic in buying the Chinese knockoff machines.

With the stories of the sub standard parts necessitating upgrades to name brand items and the out of stock issues, broken/squashed/bent/missing items, is it really worth it?

Wouldn't one be further ahead buying even a well cared for used name brand machine? By the time you source all ancillary name brand parts (that are being bought used anyhow), the price cannot be much different. Personally, I'd feel more comfortable with a cared for, used JR or Align machine than a new knockoff.

There was recently a JR Vibe .50 in the classifieds RTF for $800, and there are other deals similar here and there. I'm not sure there is a real savings to be had when it comes to hard money, and surely there can't be a savings in the long haul.

I'm not bashing, just trying to understand...

Its not so much about the cost...ive owned Align, century, Thundertiger, Hirobo...im looking for something different. That Frenzy looks great and flys amazing, the cost is a bonus. Will the parts support be there nxt season?? Who knows...im not risking much i guess.
