Carbon Landing Gear:Blade MSR

Reader Reviews
I was hesitant to get this. I thought it would be a trendy item that had little gain. I however have already gone through 4 of the standard plastic landing skids and was tired of replacing them. I'm sorry the other guy had such problems. The only thing I can think of is he's pulling the batteries hot of the charger so they are a bit swollen when he's putting them in. I will say it is a bit of a tighter fit but I like it. I allow just about anyone to fly my mSR to learn on it and have fun and get introduced to RC helicopters. My batteries used to fall out all the time after small crashes and stuff, now they don't anymore. That's just the small gain. The biggest gain is the front pin is so much stronger I've had it for a while now and not had it brake. Not only is that a huge selling point for me, there's more. If it did break you can buy just the supports and battery mount for [...] bucks. That's less then the normal landing gear. Also the post are universal so they can be used for front or back, so I can replace the front one that brakes constantly on the stock model. I really think this is one of the best upgrades for the mSR. And like I said I loan it out to anyone, people who have never flown a thing. It's still together solid. I do see how the carbon could break but mine hasn't. If you get a lot of broken landing skids, I strongly recommend you try it. A couple of notes also. The look is a matter of choice I like it. The gear also has less bounce in it so the heli lands more solid and doesn't have the bounce like the stock one did. It also sits lower to the ground when on the skids, which I think is awesome. Hope this is helpful to some.
