500 skids on a 450??

[MarkG_R1]

I know this has been done and talked about but the search didn't reveal much

I've been thinking about doing this as I'd like the extra strength and stability for when I get to auto's etc

Anyone doing it? Pro's/Cons?? and have any decent pics to try and give me some food for thought on this long painful night shift??

I used them on my Pro for a while when I was still new to it and flying off long grass. Apart from looking a bit gangly they work very well.

If it's a Pro you're using then you just need to drill a central hole on in each leg to bolt to the frame.

It's a 450 SE v2 so two holes will be required

How gangly?? Got any pics?

[paulsouthport]

Yep, here's the 450 wearing the daddy long legs - the "boots" is black tape after a slight accident!

I don't care what the advantage is paul I've said it before it looks proper mingin lol

[paulsouthport]

Don, just for that I'm going to put them on my MCPX!

Hmmm, is there any way of getting wider skids without the extra height?

Strange request I know but I'd like it low and wide like I like my cars

Not 100% sure, but the 500 pro skids may be a lower profile with the same width. Worth a look

or women?

ewwwwwwwwww


You may be able to widen and lower the 500 skids by heating the bend of the leg and bending it out. Not tried it, but might work. Of course, it'll be really wide then!

I take it back ..... Cool car ;-)........ For a drug dealer lmao

[muscleflex]
