Hello again looking for spares in UK

Hi to all. My first post for a very long time. I'm still flying or at least crashing is the better term lol.
I'm looking for a cheap place in the UK to buy spares for a 450 size hell. A lot of places seem to have closed.
I'm actually looking for a belt driven tail box for a 450. I supposed e-bay will be the only place. It's just that it's
a long wait for the bits to arrive from China.
Hope everyone is keeping well and are still flying. Cheers.

Wish I could help u there bud.. China has been the best spot for me to get parts for my Chase.. I order from HawkRC for that bird.. Shipping is expensive, but I usually get my orders from them in about 5 days.. If u pay the premium shipping.. I usually stock up preemptivelay. I think they carry Align stuff too. Well wait a sec.. Isn't FastLad the UKs version of HeliDirect?... They might have stuff u need.

Thanks cml001 Yes tried fast lad but a little expensive and I could not see belt driven tail box. Its a bit on the older side. Most helps are now torque tube.
Cheers

Thanks again cml001 but again very expensive buying there. I will have to wait for the slow boat to arrive from China. It usually
takes about 6 to 8 months for stuff to arrive here when I have ordered in the past but the price is very, very good, Cheers

Wow 6 to 8 months seems like an extremely long time.
Are they sending it by rickshaw?

Thanks Graham. I did see that one, should have brought it but I sent for 2 Tarot ones and I will now have to wait.
I see you have the Align 550. What do you think? I very much like that size of heli because of the battery size.
Thanks again. I never seem to give up flying helicopters or may I say crashing them lol. I always have a rebuild on my mind
lol.

The fun of flying Treff:) we are always crashing:) the 550 is my favourite . I call it my Triggers Brush. Only thing original is the electronics all the rest have been crash replaced. Had a bad one when it went full force tail into the ground and was practically a rekit. But by far a great helicopter very powerful
