Also, since they are metal, energy transferral to other components in a crash will be worse. |

Out of square in what dimension? As long as the flange bearings line up reasonably well and the slip/friction fit on the boom is good, I can't really see anything else really mattering.

I would normally agree, but this is a solid titanium shaft. Anybody use the titanium shaft on the MCPX? The problem with the CF shaft is it will split over time.

Ah sure enough, it is titanium, yeah that shouldn't bend
I still maintain that apart from that, something else could give in a crash if the main shaft is stronger. It is a trade off, which some are willing to accept. For the mCPX I think a lot of folks use the solid CF shaft from MH, as the stock CF is hollow. |

The problem with a metal main shaft is that it could have a slight bend and you will never see the problem.....Metal main shafts don't always bend at the top in a crash. Sometimes they bend at the spot where the shaft goes through the swash plate...carbon main shafts are not that expensive....I would rather have a carbon shaft split or break so I know the problem instead of paying extra money from damages caused by a bent shaft which will cause the heli to crash from not flying right...

Yeah, I bought the tail pitch slider as I hear that is a common fail/problem point. I also have the metal A gear, if/when I need it.
It is easy to get caught up in the hop-up game, costs run up quick when you start upgrading parts which for all intents and purposes may not need to be upgraded. |

The metal swash on the MCPX was a must have IMO. I've had hundreds of flights on it with no problem. I do oil it about every 10 flights. Even though I have had no problems with the balls breaking off the 130x swash, I think there has to some flex with the plastic part. The MCPX was a lot snappier with the metal swash.
