Yes Gorilla gear will fit with modification to your existing gear. If your mount tabs on the stock gear are still intact just cut off the bows at the outboard end of the flat portion, align the Gorilla gear, drill holes in the stock gear through the existing holes in the Gorilla gear, and secure it with 2 screws. I managed to break the mount tabs off of the stock gear and had to make adapters out of nylon.
Alternate method is Zip ties, not as clean but it works just fine.
To refit your head these parts work well, HS1070 Main Rotor Holder(XL),
HS1003 Feathering Shaft AGNH1115, HS1184 Flybar Rod/220mm,
HS1191 Flybar Paddle AGNH1120 these are 6.11G paddles and will liven up your cyclic response, Here are the heavy paddles which will retain the more stable cyclic HS1192 Flybar Paddle AGNH1120
Align main shafts fit but are slightly smaller in diameter which shows up in the metal MX400 center mast as very slight rocking on the shaft.
