CNC Upper Main Blade Grips,Blue:Blade CX2,CX3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok everyone. Let me start out by saying I have two Blade CX2s. I purchased this upper hub for my original (oldest one) I bought this to replace a plastic folding conversion I had bought earlier. While this (being CNC) was of course more expensive, I can surely say its worth it. Looks along make this a better fit than most plastic folding sets.
Pros,
1. More durable than any plastic hub you can purchase (folding or not)
2. If you are moving from a set blade setup (stock) Folding is the way to go, far fewer broken blades / blade strikes.
3. Most CX2s come with a CNC upper hub, an most are blue. Adding this blue upper blade holder really gives you CX a much better look.
Cons,
1. Some folding blades may have to be sanded down on the edges to fit into the slots (Example, I use hardened white blades from Helitek-RC. To get mine to fit well I had to slightly sand some from the handle side of the blades) This isn't a big deal, but something to keep in mind.
2. The "spaces" that fit inside each side holder slips out rather easily during installation. May be a good idea to install this over a colored towel (black would wok well) seeing as the spacers are small and white. Which would make finding them if they fall out much easier!
In closing, I've used Microheli parts before and was not satisfied (tailboom) However, with this one they got it right, and I tip my hat to them.
