Hey I was looking at the head of that nice minicopter joker heli. I was wondering if there is any way that I can put that head on a raptor 30. Thanks

From what I have read the swashplate is a very large diameter which plays an integral part in the way the moving flybar system works along with the ratios. So I would guess that you would also need to install the swashplate. By that point you probably have exceeded the cost of a new raptor.
I have seen people put X-cell heads on with great success. Also the hawk Se or raven head from Century would be a good thing also as it looks about the same as the Xcell head.
What are you trying to accomplish with a different head?

Interesting idea.

I don't see why it couldn't be made to work as long as the main shaft diameter is the same -- 10mm?

I have a Joker and used to have a Raptor. I doubt the swashplate size makes a difference. I think you'd be able to use your Raptor swash and mech mixing. You'd probably have to fiddle with linkage lengths. Also, on the Joker, the swash moves DOWN when collective increases. Not really a big problem either...

It'd probably be better to try this on a Raptor .60.
