Sometimes the cool factor is worth the investment on what ever you're working on. But watching JeeUms box stock .50 heli fly got my thinker thinking. Thoughts?
Its like this. If you are running a high headspeed and banging the snot out of the heli, some bling is a good idea. A raptor SE has all the parts you'll ever need. Same with an evo minus the extra bearing block and a couple minor things. It has to do with head design. I would say 85% of heli pilots are over blinged. I know my 90 is. everything is metal on that thing and I know I will not be pushing it to that point. My favorite bling part right now is stainless steel feathering spindles. I went through 3 in one awful week. All mechanical, I never crash
