Have you google it? Why not order from Amain? They are very close to you.

If anyone in Europe needs parts then Acrowood in Germany have them in stock, Dino is a design partner with JS and is developing a new FBL system for them.

Why not just put a JR Vibe 50 head on it?

I pick up a Frenzy 50 and after going through it, I find it to be a reasonably well designed helicopter. I am doing the final set up right now and hope to fly it soon.

The biggest thing I see wrong is a lack of support. Not only is it weak in the U.S. But it seem week World Wide.

I ordered some parts from HobbyKing two weeks ago and no sign of them yet, I check the shipping I selected and it can take up to 45 days to receive depending on customs.

They have resently opened a U.S. Warehouse but the web site shows no mention of the JS Line of products.

Hobbyking is the only place I know that still sell frenzy parts. I talked to Amainhobbies support and they told me that this helicopter is discontinued.

Why ALMOST ALL brands of flybared helicopter are discontinued (Except align and thunder tiger) ! I love them !

[3drcbuilder]

It's a shame that this helicopter has gone by the wayside. But with it taking a month to receive part from Hong Kong I don't see it making it past it's first crash.

I actually got it into a hover this afternoon between rain shows.

I agree with you about the the flybar helicopter going away and I hate to see it.

You have to buy more parts and store them for futur crash. That's what I do. An most important parts are gone first on HK so, when they have it, you have to buy them rapidly. They can be out of stock for a couple of months.

How can it be discontinued when Hobbyking keeps getting parts in stock?

I don't know, but it's not a good sign.
This helicopter was first sold by amainhobbies. They probably know what they are talking about.

[Atomic Skull]

Amain stopped carrying the Beam Avantgarde too, they have a way of carrying non Align helis for a year or two and then dropping them.

[Atomic Skull]

I'm pretty sure now that Amain is full of it and that they just dropped support for it and don't want to say it. The TZ Frenzy .50 and .90 are listed right on JS Model's front page.

Wish they would just set up an Ebay store and sell directly the way Gartt does.

[fantasiiio]

There is no parts for these helicopters on amain website. Ask them if they have parts somewhere else. It's a store, they probably want to sell. I asked them and they have nothing. Maybe they will answer you another thing.

I tried to order some parts from Hobby King, the order was placed January 23, 2014. they somehow messed up the shipping address and the order got turn around ans sent back to Hobby King. As of typing this 4-7-2014. The order has not been received back Hobby King. So, two and half months and no parts and at least a month before I may even see something.

The Frenzy is a nice little helicopter but with the support available the helicopter isn't worth the price of a Dog Turd.

If they could get some decent support in the U.S. The helicopter could take over the entry level helicopter market.

The sad fact is that if a helicopter kit is priced less than $400 people assume it's junk.

Seven months after placing a order, and the order being lost in shipping I received a refund for the parts I ordered less shipping cost.

The Frenzy sets in the corner with a bad clutch and needs a canopy. It looks at me with those puppy dog eyes saying please fix me and fly me!!!!!!!!!!

I Just received an E-mail from Hobby King advising me that the have just opened there second U.S. warehouse and it is ready to start making shipments. However there is still no U.S. support for this helicopter.

I still don't see anything wrong with the design, after all it is pretty much a JR clone with enough differences that the JR parts won't work.

I guess if I looked hard enough I could find parts to make it work. But, I'm at the stage that crashing is going to happen and I'm better off with a main stream helicopter I can get parts for.

Plus the one time I ordered from Hobby King was such a disaster, it's just not worth the effort.

[fantasiiio]

This is why I bought another helicopter that I can easily have parts at my local hobby store. The frenzy is still functional, but it will stay on the shelf. The frenzy is retired.

[3drcbuilder]

I also have other helicopters. But, I am a novices so I would like something that I can fly with a minimum of Regret if I pile it in and be easily fixed for the next exploit.

I've been thinking something simple and have been looking a several helicopters, I also have not done an electric yet. I've been doing a lot of reading of the Raptor 550 FBL. Only time well tell.

You can purchase kits & replacement parts directly from the manufactures web page jsmodel.com

For parts make a list & email them if only a few ask for economy post.
