      Are they beyond a super glue repair? if not I'd pop to the high st go to the cheapy shop and buy a tube for 99p

      At least it'll keep you going until you have new ones, you must have hit the deck bloody hard, I've had a few hard landings but never broke the skids.

      I'd keep on using the broken ones if there fixable, as you might total a new pair while you learn.

      The E-Flite Skids are £4.50 from these chaps, bloody expensive for two flimsy molded plastic pieces.

          The ones on my cx2 have been broken for a few weeks, (2nd pair) i have ordered some more, but they are very expensive for what they are, I was thinking about taping the bits of plastic so that when they break i have all the bits to glue back together, as they normally break cleanly. Luckily mine just broke one bit so are still useable

            I broke my lama ones, and bought them Flexable ones, they are supposedly unbreakable, i have landed on them pretty hard and they havent broke yet ( paniked and cut off the throttle lol).

            I also bought a spare set, dont wanna wait for more should they break again

              ok so the unbrakable ones are worth the extra money??

                They are better than the normal plastic ones, the site i got them off was so sure they wouldnt break they had a lifetime guarantee, cant beat that.

                  i have found a site tht sells the plastic ones at a cheap price
                  they also do the aluminim swashplate, lower rotor head, the bearing holder and the police body
                  i have been looking at these bits and now my skids have broken is it a good idea to get these parts in the order and are they quite cheap??

                    I've been reading on this site about these contra's and I find it all very exciting, so much so that I have decided that I am going to sell my 50 size nitro Titan, and buy a handful of these contra's because it seems these will be more of a challenge for me to fly

                    Can anyone tell me which is the best first contra I could buy, waiting in excited anticipation

                    Thanks P51
