Yeah,...

Your retracts from dreamworks look very similar to the ones hobbyking offers for a lot less money and they don't have great ratings on hobbyking either. I don't know the quality of these retracts but because of the ratings I stayed away from them when looking for upgrades for my HAbu. It's too expensive of a plane to risk on these cheap looking retracts. But that's just my thought. I kept the eflite 15-25 and added the Tamjet upgrades. They are top quality and have the reputation to back it up. All in all,..its your decision to make ! ! Remember sometimes going cheap can bight you ! !
I guess I'll be a guinea pig!

I won my Habu 32 so I have zero $$$ invested


I ordered the retracts ($49.20), for what the Tam units cost I can buy six sets of these... I have a problem justifying a set of retracts that cost almost the same amount as the airframe, besides I fly off of a runway so it shouldn't be an issue.

I have a brand new fresh from the Factory Castle ICE 100 back from the recall so hopefully it won't give me any problems.


After I receive the retracts and fan I will, post some photos
