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.

Also, the Razor power systems guide is a great resource too!
