tigerman Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do not bother Rocker ,The Eflite 80mm afterburner kit is crap .I have a Eflite 80mm F 16 with the Eflite Afterburner kit and you can not even see it when you take off ,it is so dull. No one notice I had an afterburner kit on my F16 .Any how you will not find any Model shop in the UK that has one in stock .Like all Efite spare parts ,they are becoming harder and harder to obtain in the UK Apart from the fact there are no Eflite Aftermarket kits in the UK ,you would only be wasting your money .Shame we do not have the choice like the USA does with the Goony and RC Geek doing excellent afterburner kits .You could always see if Goony or the RC Geek would send you one from the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I have look and there are no Eflite afterburner kits in the UK and the models shops say it could be 6 months or more or even not at tall .If you look at the USA model shop they are in stock Horxion Hobby do not like shipping to the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 An Alex Kerr advertises afterburner sets on Facebook - they look bright and are sure to be cheaper than EFlite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Thanks Grumpy Gnome ,but I have order one from KM Rc from the USA. Only £35 ×£6 postage .He can send it to the UK no problem It connect to the inrunner motor by cable ties and connect to the battery via the balance lead and a y lead on the throttle lead .Job done👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
