well, I used to love the CF gear (mainly the look) on my profiles, but have had bad luck lately breaking them very easy. Since this get's very expensive over the time, I just decided to buy a pair of crazy legs. I do not really like the color to much, but like the way the mount and work and are plenty strong. The price is also very attractive compared to the CF gear. I think I will stick with those from now on.
Just wanted to see what you guys think ? Do you use or prefer CF, Crazy legs or perhaps the Dubro gear ?

I like the way the CF gear looks too... but the Crazy Legs will outlast them till the cows come home.....

Depends on what you want.... For me, I like the Crazy Legs.

I guess I'm just livin' right!

My poor ol' CF gear have survived numerous close encounters of the thud kind, and just keep on kickin'! The last "hard arrival" even broke the bottom bolt, but the gear are still just fine.

I did, however, recommend to a couple of buddies with CG Extreme 330's get some Tetherite gear for them.

ChuckAuger, covering all the bases!!

Let's see...

I broke the auluminum gear on both of my profiles...

I moved to the Dubro stuff on the Sledge.

First off, the part that mounts to the Sledge fuselage is about 1/3 the size of the stock stuff or the carbon fiber stuff. Mounting holes are about an inch apart...

The Dubro stuff is also very heavy, even compared to the auluminum. Probably 6 ounces for it all...

Then I broke them when I did one of my famous crash n' goes.

I've glued it back together and will wait for it to snap off again...

I've heard the CF stuff breaks easily. If this heavy stuff (I think it's made out of cement) breaks again, I'll have to find something new.

Anybody got a link for the Crazy Legs?

Do the crazy legs come in different sizes? (thinking TACO gear).

I to have broke 2 pair of jeff's gear now one set was a complete mystery why it broke so easy(Jeff offered to replace that set), I did put the stock OMP gear on my ff540 and there was no difference in flight performance and those wires don't bend easily, but they don't look near as nice as Jeff's gear.

Jeff any chance of a redesign (wider at the top)?

can you post pics of #1 and #2 so I can see the diff?

ChuckAuger

My Feedback: (12)

I can't see how..guys were asking specific questions about your product, so you answered. Not like you just jumped in tooting your own horn. I'm glad you posted the info.

tetherite

Here's the tapered. Lengths are the same - only thickness varies between "Lite Weights and "heavy Duties".

tetherite

These are the "standards".

akahoverit

My Feedback: (2)

Ok now I get it, thanks. what do the lightweight tapers weigh? Lightweight standard weight?

And I also agree about you posting info, if it wasn't you it'd be someone else and since you make them you probably know best.

Thanks, and can I have a price list?

tetherite

"Lite Weights" run 2.5 oz.'s, standard & tapered
" Heavy Duty's" run 3.25 oz.'s, standard and tapered.
If you'll e-mail me direct, I'll be glad to provide details!

I'll have to pm you, my email is down (satilite problems).

I voted for the Krazy Legs. That was the only thing that Gator didn't really test on my Ohio FF. Well, maybe a little bit.

I don't think a person should get slammed for answering a question. Blatant advertising, YES.
Give the the answer Ray.

I vote for the KrazyLegs. They are strong and cheap.

Hey Ray, I like the TopCap.

Actually, it's mine (note the pilot) and that's a 15-4W APC on a Saito .91 and it still has 4 inches of clearance. With the stock gear I was coming close to grinding props.

I haven't done a stress test yet, but, like everyone else, I sure have bent my share of aluminum gear. These guys seem plenty strong.

I'm Krazy about Krazylegs!!
Really, I put them threw h*%%!
Once, I was hovering and the motor died! Just enough room to drop the nose, and pull out .
The fuse squatted to the ground and the Krazylegs sprung back to original shape! That was last year and I'm still using them. Before I sell the Top Cap, I'll put the originals back on!

Ray (Mr Tetherite),

I just sent you an email with a couple typos in it...

Anybody else broke the Dubro gear? Am I that good?

Daryl Martel

My Feedback: (3)

Broke 2 sets of Dubro gear - 1 black, one white. Didn't think I was stressing it that hard either. Will buy some Krazy Legs.

Ray,
When are you going to offer the Krazylegs in black? Or maybe some red, blue, yellow, etc.? Yes, this is a hint!

We could do colors, but the pigment takes away from the nylon content! Rustoleum, Krylon or auto enamal works fine if you want to paint them.
FYI.
