Was doing some backflips the other day.... got carried away and did one too many!!! Sent the trex 450 se v2 into the ground... blades and flybar needed replacing... but other than that the feathering shaft was fine and all... but all my servo gears were stripped!! All of them. What a pain.. I had ds 285's for cyclic and ds3400g for the tail.. this is my first crash on the trex... I've decided that I'm not happy with the idea of weak gears and went for the karbonite route... got the hs65hg and will probably get the digital versions when they become available.. the tail stripping is a new one for me!!! no gears available for the 3400 yet so I went with the 9257... running it at 6v(people seem to be doing that just fine)... has anyone else stripped the tail servo?

Of note: I always wear eye protection!! One of the blades actually flew 50 feet right into my face!!! Of all the places to go and hit!!! No injury but a very good reminder about safety!!! Good thing I had on my sunglasses like I always do!! Maybe the blade to the face distracted me from killing the motor quicker and thus the servo gears all getting their share
