Outrage 550: Belt broken Again?!

[GravityKills]

OK, this isn't funny. After switching to 95 mm blades, the belt failed shortly after. The old one was dark orange-brown and had lasted a hundred flights or more. When it failed, it, lost most of its teeth, but remained functional.
Then I put in an bright clear orange belt from the standard 550 parts list. It lasted two flights, then it snapped when I test-piroed the heli immediately after takeoff. Fortunately no damage.

Apparently I'm not the only one, whose belt failed after a very short time.
Does this mean that from now on I'll have to play russian roulette with every new belt? If so, my 550 will be scrapped quite soon in favour of a T-Rex.

BTW this belt was very weak in more than one spot. I managed to tear it in two using only my hands, several times. This would never be possible with a Raptor belt, for example.

Mine was fine, fitted the bando belt from new, and running 85mm carbons, did have 92mm carbons on but the tail was to powerfull, alot better with 85mm's

I like how the 95 mm blades fly... the tail just does as it's told. The box says "82-95 mm", so it's within the specs.
With the 95 mm blades it holds OK in tictocs even with reduced headspeed, to get more flight time out of the pack.
Now I turned the gyro acceleration and deceleration profile even further down. The tail feels a bit sluggish, but it doesn't have to work as hard as before.
With the stock plastic blades I managed to lose the tail a couple of times. It was actually quite scary.

you have to check the belt, it MUST say Bando 630XL on it, if not send it straight back as it will snap.

Thanks. I ordered from Fastlad. Let's hope those are the right ones, shipping to here takes one week every time.

BTW, does anybody have experience with black Bando belts?
