Status: offline 		As I view the options available I get more confused , so can someone tell me what is best.
Xtreme CNC Blade Grips w/ Blades or Microheli CNC Blade Grips w/ Exxtreme Blades ( I beleive I saw 2 different types of CNC Grips they sell)
Then there is also the Microheli Exxtreme Core V.2.0 which looks to be plastic ?
All Microheli I believe are Folding blade type, HELP ! What is better, more durable, or any other input you could provide based on your experience.
Thanks

Mine perform admirly and it seems to me that unless you just want the bling, just replace the other parts that seem to break more............like the lower rotor.........just me 2 cents..............good luck on whatever endeavor you choose!

A wise man spends money wisely.................. Well, you know how that goes. Sadly no one really does much investigating before spending thier days salary to line the pockets of someone who found out early how to interchange pieces and tout them as thier own design. Go to www.bphobbies.com and check out the Dynam vortex parts listing. Look at the flybar, inner shaft and outer shaft with gear, price them and then look at what the other guy sells his "kit" for. Notice the amazing non difference of parts? look at the price difference.....................
If it works for you then I say good for ya but I got the same parts for 15 bucks shipped to my door.

Status: offline 		I've been eyeing the first one (new micro heli's grips) for months, they weigh only 3....somthing grams. My biggest problem is forking over $60 for them. If you decide to get them please please do a review on the forums for us.
I've also tried just the plastic grips on the 3rd picture (extreme) without much luck.(sent them back), But have heard the whole core is better. Try arrows idea.

Status: offline 		rc4 I've been flying the Xtreme blades, grips, Eflite CNC upper hub, swash plate and micro heli CNC lower hub for almost a year now. Great stuff you'll have now problems at all. It does take a bit to get her trimmed right but once you get it you won't ever go back to stock.
