I was flying my raptor titan stock, I was doing extreme 3d...when suddenly i heard I loud bang. Fortunately I was still able to control the heli. When I landed, this is what the tail boom looked like. I was lucky that the belt did not get jammed. What Shall I upgrade? Hard dampers? if yes, where Can I get them From?

Yes, hard dampners, reds, and you should be able to get them just about anywhere that sells raptor parts. Also, if you arn't using CF blades yet those also.

Lucky and boom strike in the same phrase... not sure those were ever intended to go together! :^)

Definately go to the red dampeners but you may want to even look at a metal roto hub of some flavor as well. Chances are you will not be that lucky twice!

Good luck!
