Only 35 degrees here at 5:15 A.M..... That would seem like a heat wave compared to ya guys getting hit by that Arctic Express...LMAO... I love going out from the house temps and then letting my 450 adjust and then seeing the belt is looser, and the mains in the blade grips are even looser from the soft Microheli CNC shrinking up a tad from the cold... Its a amazing the diff on the belt on the temp changes. Drives me nuts.... The 500's Torque Tube sure has been nice lately for that...

Oh.... here's the new 450 from Align with the Torque Tube... Another Jason Krause design :

Its pretty cool.... First chance I can get to throw on a TT kit on my 450, I'am on it ! Its REALLY amazing how free everything spins... A quick flick of the 500's blades, and she'll spin around a good 10 times or so... Maybe next time I'll flick em' on the next video, so you can see... I was going to do it on the last one but forgot... I think it has a good part in why my components run so cool on the 500, but can't say for sure as I've not ran the belt on it before... I've scuffed my rear tail blades in the dirt a few times and the TT is stronger than I had thought. I even had to land in tall grass one time at a friends house and the tail and crown gears held up fine as I was hovering above the tall stuff about a foot and hit throttle hold and watching the tail blades do there weed-eatin' duty...
