Breaking - In Razor

[buster1]

Been breaking in my Razor - boy, is it solid - no adjustments or trim changes were required - guess I got lucky,
Anyway, was curious - I see black coloring on the one of the tension bearings where the belt drive runs through on the way through the tail-boom.
Is it normal to get some slight wear of the belt (not sure if its wearing, but just some black coloring) or coloring on the tension bearing during the first 5-10 flights.
Wasn't sure, but thought I would check,
Thanks,
Jeff

this is normal. i have to same problem. i dontknow if its a problem but it happens. im breaking my razor too with jazz 55 and 4500mah TPX packs w/ tango 45-08 flies excellant.. do u think its heavy?

heavy , huh? slightly , but it still handle the weight great , a slight heavy machine will always fly good and solid , I like my 90 size machines to weight around 10.8 to 11 lbs , feels good to me , well as I get better with 3D though , I might not like it , but for heavy 3D , this machine likes 2300 to 2400 on the head.

Saitoflyer - thanks for the feedback,
Yes, the heli. is a bit more heavy, but the stability and flight performance make up for that - this helicopter can handle the wind and its sooo smooth. I am using the Hacker A50-14S for some extra power and now going up to 11S for some additional flight time. But I also have a lepton and Mikako Logo 14 and when I fly the Razor - the stability of it is noticeably better. Hands down, the Razor is a great helicopter.
You are also using 4500 packs, come down to 3700 to lighten it up. But you should be getting great flight times with the Tango and 4500 packs.
