How expensive/competitive will the Warp's parts be?

[FailureToFly]

I'm very interested in this heli and am wondering how the parts will be priced compared to something like the Mini Protos?

Is this going to be an exotic 450 or will the parts be fairly normally priced (compared to Align, MSH etc)?

Well, we don't know for sure yet, the pricing hasn't been released. My guess is parts will be slightly more than Trex 450 Pro, but it is hard to compare, as most of the parts are completely different. All aluminum parts are high quality CNC. It will be a while after release before anyone can really compare crash cost to other 450 sized helis.

Example: Warp head is rigid and designed like large tail hub. You may get many wrecks and not bend it, where the usual spindles will easily bend. On the 450 Pro, the torque tube gears and other gears strip easily in a crash; the Warp should rarely need belt or pulley replacement unless crash it bad.

So we wait until it is being flown by many, and then get a feeling for repair costs.

every time I wrecked my Align 450 pro head, I would ruin blade grips. they were $30 a crash. i hear the warp grips hold up really wel.

You had your blades on loose didn’t ya? I did this once and tightened my blades... never happened again.
