Default RE: Eflite Blade CX

I'm not sure if it holds true for helis given the damaging outcome of a stripped gear mid flight, but in rc cars you tend to avoid all metal gearing since you need something to give before the motor or mounting. Ideally the gear breaks before something more important. Since losing a tooth or two isn't an instant crash on cars though you have a little more forgiveness than in a helo that comes dropping out of the sky out of control. just something to consider. Properly meshed, and barring crash damage, you shouldn't have problems, so just make sure to look it over after any crashes or anything that might have stressed it beyond normal.

I do wonder if any third party companies make gearing for Blades. In the cars there are numerous companies that make gearing for the popular vehicles, with varying degrees of durabilty, quality and selection.
