Im a happy owner of a Blade cp and in the near future I would like to buy a 400 size heli. Im thinking of the Belt cp for the next step but part support is a concern. I much rather have something I can get parts for from my LHS, and none of them carry Esky products. Are most of the belt cp parts compatible with other manufactures like Align or Eflite(400)? These are the popular brands I see in my area. Thanks, -Karl

Parts

Parts are cheap and you could stockem or wait for them to come. I use heli direct and have not had a problem. If they are out they will notify you as soon as they come in. Shipping is super fast and very reasonable.

I hate to say this but I think you need to talk to slider about a 450 size heli. The king is the best in its class but slider can tell you the best heli in the 450 class.

The King in my opinion is a 375 class.

When you buy a heli one of the most important things you need to consider is parts supply... If you like to buy local then the I would have to say the trex 450 is the way to go. If you buy everything online like alot of people do here, then you can go with the king or belt cp and stock parts in your shop that will break or bend in a light crash... Unfortunately parts are the driving factor in this hobby, as you will need them sooner or later...

everytime you crash you will have to buy some parts xp and you should have some in stock so you dont have the bird stopped while you wait for new parts
