Lama 2 parts seem a little more common - and perhaps better quality - than lama v4 parts... anyone know if lama 2 parts can be used on lama v4? blades, skids, inner shaft.

I just got a lama 2 from the hobby store i work at that was defective. I ended up using the blade cx2 parts on it. The inner shaft is an exact match. I ended up switching everything above the swash to blade cx2 parts and it flies great.

You have to start somewhere!

Thanks for the reply altima!

Interesting to know that the lama 2 parts fit on the CX - I've been wondering that too, as I have a CX2.

But the v4 seems to require different parts than the CX2. For one thing, the blades grips alow the blades to break free if they hit something, like the blades on my bcp, whereas the CX2 blades are fixed in place and have different rotor heads.

So I'm wondering if the parts you swapped are functionally the same or not? And if not, it seems like maybe you could build the Lama 2 or CX2 parts onto the lama v4...

Regardless, this is actually for my brother and he ordered lama 4 replacement parts anyway.

The thing flies pretty well! I like the CX2 setup a little better, but not much of a real difference in flight characteristics.

Yea there is enough of a difference in the hub that it requires you to use the cx2 blades also. Of course the ball link sizes are different also. That is why i switched everything to the cx2 parts above the swash.

I switched everything to the cx2 because that is all we carry in parts. I agree the cx2 flies better but for what i got the lama for i couldn't say no
