Blade grips too tight - 7/2/2008 3:36:44 PM

Status: offline 		I recently purchased a Trex 450 with the CNC head and tail. There were 3 extra sets of blades included with the heli. My problem is that the blade grips are so tight that the only set of blades that fit with any free movement are the Align 325 fiber. The Align Pro 335 blades are so tight that you have to use your hands with some force to get them to move. My question is this: can you open up the aluminum blade grips to where there is a little more room between the top and bottom arms?
Thanks,
Don

Can someone tell me how to post pictures or direct me to a tutorial on RC Universe ?

Status: offline 		Is it an actual cnc head for the trex or is it a replica? I never had a problem on my cnc grips fitting the align 325 pro blades on.
