700 Dampeners

[Tom Burgess]

Anyone else sick of changing the stock dampers after 10 litres? What brand are you changing to if any?

trueblood dampeners are superb, had them in my 700 for about a month now and they are just as solid as the day i fitted them. I was changing the standard ones after about 5-6 flights in the end.

I found the 700 dampers were very much dependant on what blades you were running.
V-blades use to kill them within about a gallon or 2, 690d's were better lasting 4 x that if not more, but the best i found were radix blades, only changed the dampers once using them, in fact about 2 weeks before i sold it to glen.
Now i know you use the torsions Tom that are also quite stiff, so i expect you will will be killing them quicker

I have just ordered some Truebloods for mine this weekend, whilst mine are not dead yet as it's only had about 14 flights through it, I am sure they wont last long (unlike my Knight ones which lasted a year!)
