Thanks!

Status: offline 		Have any of you seen the cnc blue head for belt cp at www.cnchelicopter.com? Can anyone tell me if it is compatible with the stock esky servos and can you just drop that head straight in?

It's completely compatible and drops straight in. You can also buy the HDX 450 head(because it comes in silver as well) as long as you buy the 450B kit. This kit has the correct swash for the Belt CP. The other heads are the same as Trex(anti-rotation bracket is in front instead of rear of swash).
