Hello, new guy here

Are CNC/metal parts worth the money?

Hi there,

Welcome

Well they look better on the heli and they make the heli more crash resistant in some places however in a crash they move the weak points to more expensive to fix areas and they still can bend. So for a beginner. its doubtful that they are worth it. For an intermediate to experienced flyer, some "slop" is eliminated so the helis fly a bit better so possibly worth the money once your entering fast forward flight.

Hope this helps.... Azzy

Azzy is correct. when you crash (and you will) somethings got to give, so if your always bending feathering shafts and you upgrade to a larger one then something else is going to give like the blade grip ball link holder or something. Just like in my power boat, upgraded the stock prop to a stainless steal one. Well guess what, now instead of just bending the prop it takes out the drive gears! The new stainless steal prop was unscaved.
