| I have to say, after crashing this, and thinking it was going to be cheap. I was suprised a little bit. (unless there is another online store with more parts) In the crash the links are very brittle, and crack. Not too bad, except that also includes the links from the washout arms to the swash. I could not find these seperate, add 24.00 to the crash cost. The little tiny screws holding the washout arms on the base bend, can not find those either (they might be available seperate someplace, but have not found them. Screws included with washout set, still at an extra 24.00 dollers. Bell arms, link pulled out, and bent, again soft tiny little screws holding them onto the grips bend, 16.00 to replace. I bought the 2mmx 10mm spare bolts thinking they would work for the grips, they don't seem to want to thread into the spindle. If you have to replace the grips to get the screws, add another 26.00 (still seeing if those screws might work, or find others that work. parts of the heli seem to survive a crash well, but the aluminum parts, and mounting screws can add to the cost. In the past I have liked buying heli's with aluminum in the head because it saved the cost of broken plastic parts, but this heli seems found away around these cost savings.
I do love the way it flies, but it is too small, and fragile for me to enjoy repairing, anyone one want to buy a 200 that needs a couple replacement parts!

But all the firefox parts are like 50% more than the minizoom parts. 4 dollars is better than 10 for sure, but the real mini zoom gear is even cheaper
