Blades, flybar, main shaft, inner shaft. I would get them in that order.


I have not needed the shafts, but the blades and flybar I have gone through 2 sets.


Happy flying!

Also might want to get some training gear, because they gear has a bigger footprint then the diameter of the blades in motion it makes blade strikes less likely. Ive got some avail if you are interested, pm me.

nomobux,

You might want to read through these forums a bit more. My son bought a CX a while back and as many posters have noted neither the CX nor CX2 are perfect flyers out of the box unless you are lucky enough to get a really good one. We have replaced all the head gear from the swash plate to the main shaft with the aluminum parts E-flite sells. But I also ended up buying a replacement tail boom and see some almost indestructable blade systems for sale. My suggestion is to fly stock as long as you can with a new set of blades ready for replacement and perhaps a set of training gear. But once you break any part of the main gear go ahead and upgrade the entire thing.

Just putting on a carbon fiber tail boom makes this heli look much better.

Have fun.
