Raptor 30&50 parts & Helis
Guys I don't know all what I have here. It's a ton of stuff. If y'all need something I will do my best to see if I have it. I got all this stuff on trade so really don't know what it's worth. A little bit of help would be appreciated. Thanks for looking! $800.00 for everything.

Those are OS Hyper heli engines, worth maybe $200 each new. If used, maybe $100 each. Bearings need to be nice and smooth, and compression good. They both have clutches attached, so that adds value if they are in good condition, maybe $20 more each.

You have several hundred dollars worth of spare parts based on original value for both nitro and electrics. The problem is that Raptors are no longer sold and the general interest in nitro powered helis has diminished a great deal since their heydays in the 90s and early 2000s. Electrics took over. Now, electrics have taken a backseat to quads and other drones. There was a pent up desire on the part of a lot of guys to fly helicopters. They were difficult to fly, even with the evolution of 3-axis gyros, BUT as soon as everyone discovered how easy it was to fly quads, they took over the market. Helicopters are still great; it's just a whole new generation of guys have gone to the quads, and some of us old timers are all that's left. As mentioned, electric helicopters are still here, no engines to tune, but short 3-5 minute flights make then difficult to learn on and expensive to repair. Flight sims are still the best way to learn to fly true helicopters, but since quads are easy right out of the box, even the electrics are losing steam.
Good luck in your sale. I'd try different venues as well as RCU. Write me at [email protected] for more info/opinion.
