Venom Night Ranger 2

[colin1]

My mate is watching one one ebay with intention to buy , the add says it is rare but it looks a bit like the honey bee v1. Would like to know if it is a re-badged honey bee and would the parts for the bee fit the venom night ranger . Reason i ask is that parts for this helli on the net are discontinued  , don't want him to get it if no parts are out there .

Many Thanks

Need a link to say for sure.
But the last one of those I seen was cp heli not fp

It does look like it was based on the Century Hummingbird and Feda Dragonfly just like the HBFP V1 (yes it is a clone), It also looks to be discontinued when I did Googled it (it still had the NiMH battery)... Sooo I would stay away from it unless yo ujust like out dated helis that are rare and hard/impossible to get part for....

These are a few links I found for it....

Spare parts are still available at this time   http://www.xheli.com/veniraiihere.html


Just like the Esky Honey Bee, it comes in FP or CP....

Just forget that heli. Get a Walkera Super FP. Spare parts is highly available and you can use the Tx for future heli/plane. It has 15 model memory.

Just tell him to stock up while he can  

I would take a very close look and maybe even try to swap out some parts to see if some are the same as the ones on your V1.... Might be good to know....

Had a quick look at the venom tonight and it looks pretty close to the v1, the boom on the v1 is about 1 inch longer than the venom but the tail motor & housing looks the same. Looking at the rotor head on the venom looks to be very close to the v1 but like i said it was a quick look, although the skids are the same layout they are smaller/ lower down  than the v1 but the rotor head stands higher so looks like the main shaft could be longer    . Looks a nice Helli to be fair with a nice canopy and i feel he may get away with the v1 parts / well some of them i think , if it gets him into the hobby then it will be worth it and he is well aware that it is a long hual to get flying right  and not a 2 minute job.

I was wandering if you could swap out the center hub and up, they look different but may still work... Plus they are cheaper



 

[colin1]

Not over sure but it did look the same as the v1 to me but the whole shaft and rotor head stood a bit higher . Tell you what , the next time i see him i will take a close up photo of the venom rotor head and post it here , that may help . should see him at the weekend

That will work, plus when he crashes it, you will get a chance to try things, probably soon
