Radix blade holes

[zoombolt]

Just had some Radix blades delivered. Got at least 5 pairs now (all 690's or 710's) & I've only just realised that the blade holder hole for all the blades can take a brass filler to reduce the 5mm hole to 4mm.

As I need the 5mm size that must go without the brass filler for my bolts, my question is - it is ok to fly the Radix blades without the brass filler - isn't it????? Are they there to simply reduce hole size or an added strength thing.

I ask this as all my 600 Align blades have the brass filler already installed.

They are just for using with a 4mm bolt fine without...

fine without as posted by jamien..it seem that only radix have this style all others use bushes. i too was confused at first,

So what if I have the opposite problem?? My blade holes are 4mm and my new x cell head blade holder bolts are 5mm?? Can I drill the brass this 1mm out??
