Hi guys, please identify this Nitro heli I picked up for 50 bucks. I don't plan to fly it, just as a shelf decoration. Thanks.

I'm not sure, but it looks like the fuselage of a Revolution Hoverstar.

That looks pretty close. However placement of the engine is different. The fuselage looks to be the same, maybe the guy did an engine swap.

Thunder tiger ,Kyosho an a few others had made nitro helis ,an it was common for folks to change the engine to OS , KB or
other high performance engines ,I had I believe to be a Kyosho conscept with a OS 32 at one time ,paid 25 bucks for it in
a yard sale ,but it was missing the controller ,it had about a 36 inch blade an when I fired the engine up ,it was scary ,I resold
it for a $ 150 bucks through the want adds in the paper ,it sold quick for that price ,an even at that ,the folks got a good deal!...

That fuel tank setup with auxiliary tank is very similar to my thunder tiger raptor 50. Th smaller size indicates maybe a Raptor 30.
If you find a collector dumb enough to buy it, please let me know.

The way the belt is attached to the spur and the exhaust is way different from a raptor. I have a raptor, but this heli is not. Thanks though.
