There really is not much of a need for aftermarket parts for the Warp. It is well made and flies well right outof the box. The parts that should be made from CNC aluminum already are, so there is not much to upgrade.

Hawk R/C has a set of CF tail case sides, which have a support between them, behind the pulley. I have one of these and it is very nice. I have not installed it, yet.

Compass makes the thicker boom, the brace for between the idler pulleys, the new motor can, and a metal tail bellcrank mount.

I suspect you will see more in the way of tail pushrod supports, from the aftermarket. A friend of mine made a really nice one on a 3D printer. The next time I have to work on the machine, I will be installing that.

Some people are looking for metal canopy mounts, but the stock ones break off in a crash, saving the canopy, so that one might be better off left alone.

It's not the plastic tail grips that bother me, but the lack of a thrust bearing in the grip I don't really like. I have seen some success with folks running the 450X aluminum grips as a drop-in replacement.

Yeah but the tail is very snappy I'd be a little afraid to lose some of that.

I don't believe that thrust bearings are necessary. The bearings in the stock tail grips are fairly large, they can take the load without issue without the need to further complicate the design with thrust bearings.

If the radials were smaller, then I would totally agree.

Default blade

The biggest issue I had with this bird other than the stuff that they already replaced was a crappy tail which I replaced with the blade 450 X aluminum tail grips and hub, way nicer now.

Default direct fit

Yes they are a direct fit but you do lose a little bit of throw. As far as weight goes it's actually lighter than the stock blade grips/hub.

+1 for the visual appeal.

Now get some Edges on that and the previously mentioned tail case upgrade.

I didn't mind the tail, but I wanted a smaller disc as I kept ripping up my tail blades on landing (I hit TH which gives full negative at low stick)

At any rate, I did the same mod, it works very well...

Combined with the Hawk-Creation tail cases we're carrying and a set of Edge 60's ... I have get to shred another set of tail blades. I'm going to change the tail fin next as the pointy one digs into the ground too easily.

Any pics of the hawk creations tail case? Is it lighter the same or heavier than stock? A link maybe, didn't see it on your web site.

Hope to see mine early this week. Ordered last Saturday so I would guess it couldn't be much longer now.
