Default RE: Official T-rex 450 XL SE Thread

Anyone else with the Xl still using the plastic blades? These tend to brake grips/mixing levers on a crash that would only probably snap a blade. Had a mild crash yesterday where it went over my head and almost hit an obstruction that could have seriously grounded me. I was able to cut power, but could not power back up fast enough to pull out. Had a hard landing as it broke the skids and tipped over and sent the 2 blades flying with the ends of the grips. Also broke one mixing lever. Quick fix, but was missing 1 grip to complete rebuild.
I have a set of the 325 mm woodies that I was dragging to put on, but now they're on. I HIGHLY recommend getting the woodies and the indestructable skids from Heliup called the Gorilla gear. Out in a week or two.
