That thing looks awesome for a nitro. They did a great packaging job on the heli.
And if you ever wanted more power, you could probably find a .21 or .25 to fit in there!! Kent

Before making it too powerful or fast,remember,it is still a Walkera.lol....
It looks like a good place to start learning nitro stuff. After I found this someone showed me that a Raptor .30 RTF is only another 10 bux.So.......

Wow. I didn't realize the Raptor 30 was that cheap, either. The paraphernalia will cost you when you first get into nitro. Things like a flight box, starter, starter battery, glow plug ignitor, fuel pump, etc. I know as I flew nitro planes and I do still have a .60 sized heli, too. All of the equipment that I have is so old that it is useless. I flew all those things over 20 years ago!
I still have a 1/3 scale Byron Christen Eagle biplane with a Saito 2.7 cubic inch 2 cylinder four stroke engine. I never flew it and it sits on a ceiling shelf in my bedroom. My wife thinks it's a work of art. My brother thinks we're nuts to have an airplane in your bedroom! My really old .60 heli sits over my front door! It still has an original Futaba servos and gyro in it! Those sure were very expensive crap in the old days! I never could fly that thing. It's a Kalt Baron 60. Zero parts for a very long time are available for it, and the OS 60 motor is seized up.
