NY Rebel,

I think I did get some blades from them, a couple types. Some are not pure carbon, some are like carbon painted and some are only partially carbon. So make sure you get the real carbon blades if you want them to be tougher. The real carbon blades can take some types of hits. and can scuff on the ground without breaking. Even the painted ones were stiffer and smoother and flew better. But real carbon blades are stronger for like, hitting a box or couch. But they fly much better, and give more lift. If I fly with training gear I rarely do any damage but without its always more of a risk. If you have a heli that fly's good without traing gear (all the time) I would risk getting them. If your heli is squirly and won't lift up straight (when flying without training gear) I would want to get that dialed in before putting on the carbon blades if I were going to fly without training gear. But I would use the carbon with the training gear if you have little problems because with the gear going up straight and spinning on the ground doesn't do any damage to the blades (you don't tip over and hit the blades). But if you cant hover yet I would wait. If you take a direct hit into the ashphalt or cement they shatter. In any event you will smash them sooner or later. I think I have busted up two or three sets between all my Helicopters.

The best thing I ever got were the X400 platic blades for my EF Showgun, they are indestructable and fly great. I think they are a perfect fit for the Walkera 60. I got them at helihobby.com.
