Default Upgrades - worthwhile??

What difference does the swash plate center ball really make to the hovering stability of micro helis? I'm learning on my Jabo 2 & it's certainly challenging! It always seems much more stable when you get it above chest height but it still wanders around a lot. I haven't installed the swash plate center ball yet, but I'm considering it. Helihobby has zero stock of everything so where can I get one? I want the whole assembly as I don't have access to any tools & I don't want to drill anything. There's a lot of flex in the plastic components, I wish I could replace the parts with CNC parts but it's so expensive!

One more thing (sorry), my Jabo 2 seems to have a shaft collar already on it from the factory?? It's the new type with the
OOO
OOOO shaped battery (3 on top - 4 on the bottom, not hexagonal shaped). Anybody else got the same chopper? Where can I get some upgrade parts? I use www.XMseller.com for the standard parts. We had an earthquake last night but luckily, the training gear saved it from sliding off the shelf!! 2 uses in 1!

Thanks guys.
