Hey guys I did an auto that wasn't that soft and it cracked the landing gear. I never broke my landing gear on my trex in a auto so I'm throwing some trex gear on there as I feel its superior. Other than the week landing gear I'm very happy with the mini titan.

LITHIUMSTATIC was quicker than me to answer LOL.. But he is absolutely right. The Gorilla gear will let you save your bird over and over again. rchover.com sell them (In the US of A) and they are a pretty good team.
You were lucky that your bird didn't flip on the broken side, taking your brand new carbon blades, a blade grip or two, the main gear and a bend main shaft! Don't ask how I know!
And if you have have any doubt on what LITHIUMSTATIC and I recommend, look a Bob Finless video on the subject..
Happy flying.

There's not much mass in the head and blades on a 450, so to call it a auto....
I saw some t-rex450 auto-rotation videos and I would call it a "Buzz lightyear" landing.
Your going to need the Gorilla gear for sure practising "buzz lightyear" landings.
:wink: :lol:

Well it somewhat resembles an auto LoL. And yeah the bird did tip over when the gear broke but by that point the blades were barely spinning so it didn't break anything. Was also in deep grass. I never needed gorilla gear like I said I have never broken standard trex gear before and I had some laying around and tossed those on there and I like it much better. But I will look into gorilla gear because of the colors!
