What's the difference between the 70 and 75 durometer dampers?

70 Durometer (Gray): http://www.readyheli.com/H25038-Alig...1_p_32969.html

75 Durometer (Black): http://www.readyheli.com/H25038A-Ali...5_p_32970.html

When should one be used over the other?

The grey are softer and more suited for slower headspeeds (in hopes to eliminate wobble). The black are okay, but the green truebloods are the way to go.

Thanks...I currently have the original gray ones installed, but they look somewhat worn out. I recently picked up the black ones (not realizing there was a difference until after I got them). My headspeed is 4300 to 4400 RPM at 95 throttle flat curve. So, the black ones should make the head more responsive because they're harder rubber?

likely some but i think its going to be insignificant unless your a real stick pounder

i think most people tear up the softer ones in crashes and thats the reason to go harder

.. going too hard though for me on any heli will if its grossly too tight make the tail bob, and if its alittle too tight make the heli feel like its bobbling in a hover or when trying to stop into a hover .. on the softer has been fine for me so far on all my helis up to sport aerobatics where im at and the machines feel more locked in in slower stuff or hovering around ..
