Oh dear, it begins... hold on to your wallet

Well, if you're like me you're a sucker for shiny stuff.

Now the 130X is getting shiny stuff... this is bad news for my wallet. Especially since the stock part is actually a poor performing piece.

The Double Bearing Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider (TPS) is designed with double ball bearing to improve stability, durability and overall tail performance on the

Blade 130 X

helicopter. It's directly replaced the stock plastic tail pitch slider. The Double Bearing Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider is machined from lightweight aircraft aluminum 6061 for precision and durability. It's equipped with high quality selected ball bearings to minimize any unwanted slops and plays on the tail control system.
And yet, the Precision CNC Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider Sleeve is machined with high tolerance from Stainless Steel material to achive the best possible precision, prevent wear and tear for long time use.
The Double Bearing Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider design will bring the best overall tail performance and the stylish look to your

Blade 130 X

helicopter.

	Includes
	1 x Precision CNC Aluminum Tail Pitch Slider and Horn
	1 x Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider Sleeve
	2 x Stainless Steel Pin
	2 x High Quality Selected Ball Bearing

Double Bearing Stainless Steel Tail Pitch Slider - BLADE 130 X, MICROHELI

looks nice and if it works out to be about 15-20 pound i wouldn't mind paying that tbh as i bet its worth it in the long run seen as the stock one been what it is looks nice tho :P

I don't even have a 130X, but even I am considering ordering that for when I get one - which will be in a week or two by the way.

**Zeeflyboy** · 30-07-2012, 08:27 PM

I ordered one because I have a problem... I should really go see someone about it.

Anyway, unfortunately it's on the slow boat but I'll post what I think when I finally get it.

**sparts** · 30-07-2012, 08:43 PM

**Zeeflyboy** · 30-07-2012, 08:45 PM

it was $6 shipping for me... I ordered a couple of spare frame parts for the mCP X too. I only had 2 options - slow for $6 or fast for $25.

**bigpops** · 30-07-2012, 08:55 PM

I've ordered one too. Cheap enough for no nasty surprises from the tax man.

**LipolyGone** · 30-07-2012, 08:57 PM

Oooooooh Shiney

**BavarianRob** · 30-07-2012, 09:12 PM

Oooh! Like it, think I might indulge as well.

Its called RUS - repetitive upgrade syndrome!

**Zeeflyboy** · 30-07-2012, 09:16 PM

I think it's called being a sucker lol....

Oh well, if it's good then it's worth the dosh imo.... especially considering the sloppy, rubbish stock one is £10 to replace anyway. This one is about £14 (though I guess once it reaches UK shops it'll be nearer £20), so not that much more pricey considering. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out - please do post impressions if anyone gets theirs first!
