So I have had my first debilitating crash with my Belt Cp v2. Could have been worse, but I wrecked the rotor blades (of course), broke one of the Blade Clamps in the rotor head, bent the fly bar, crushed the tail boom (hit by the rotor no doubt) and broke the Horizontal Fin Holder as well as the Tail Pedistal rods...

My question to the group is, do I begin replacing the parts with carbon fiber and CNC metal parts now? Are they more resilient? Would they transfer the damage to "the next weakest link" (i.e. the push rod ends)? Are CF blades a little more forgiving of "touches"?

I guess what I am asking is, is it better to replace the parts with the less expensive plastic stock parts that may break more easily the next time i have a little faux-pas, or get the good stuff that will withstand the hit, and only need to replace rods or ends and bearings?

Also, I noticed 1 tooth was damaged on my main gear. Replace it right away?

Thanks,
Jackyl71

Def replace the main gear now, as far as replacing the plastic parts with metal parts, the MAJOR difference between metal and plastic is not how strong it is, but that metal is much more precise then plastic and that will translate to a more stable heli. But in a crash you may be less likely to bend metal but more likely to break the plastic links. I always recommend people stick with the plastic parts till they pass the "crash every take off" stage

Hi Jacky,
If you still crash alot I think you shouldn't upgrade to metal parts, because they will transfer damage to other parts. But when you start crashing more rarely you can upgrade to metal parts. And you should replace main gear, but it still can be used in the worst case orange45

GREAT! Thanks for the quick reply guys! Now I am feeling a bit more confident in what I am buying and why.
