Default upgrade suggestions please

hi every one
after some reading i think i will stay with mostly plastic upgrades for my cx2,i wanna stay light as possible

i am ordering the titanium inner shaft from goldslinger and planning to make the carbon outer shaft like in the other threads.

so my main question is what should i run for heads and blades??

these look good.....i like the gears they offer too....

Starion,
I agree with the rest of the guys in that bling and aluminum upgrades are all killers of a great little copter and futher eat up your batteries. I personally put 200.00 in parts and bodies in mine early on and found that most of the additional stuff just is not needed. I did met a knowledgeable guy one day in the LHS and he explained you can use the main gears and shafts from the Lama! The *****en part there is they have the foldaway blades! The basic Lama has several parts that are interchangeable. Back to the blades and shafts, the only thing you have to do as I recall is get the Lama links to the swash plate from their blades, then you use your CX ends so they'll hook to your horns and their ends to the blades. All so the same for the flybar. You keep your flybar but you buy the Lama link and use your end to the flybar and their end to their blades. The blades are stronger and last much longer.

Hope this helps, if I wasn't clear on something let me know.

Good Luck
JPee
