e-HeliDirect HDX 300-600 > These MainShafts are a joke

I just built my HDX300 and was spooling up after I finally got my 401 to not drift and to my disbelief I bent a main shaft just by sitting on the ground .I was adusting my pitch and I did have a real high HS but dam the shaft that came in this kit is crap. You guys know of a decent shaft anywhere other than helidirect? Thanks Pals

BTW why do they even sell these shafts? just to make a easy buck

The V3 shaft is a better option than the original stock shaft. Also check out the threads for the use of what are called injector pins. These are hardened steel pins that are used by the plastic injection molding industry. The associated thread details what is required to convert these pins for use as a heli mainshaft. I've not used them, as I have been doing my own experimentation. But others have used the shafts with very good results.

By the way, I've also lost an original shaft on an initial run-up so as to check blade tracking.
