Thought I might see who has what upgrades and why, here's mine
I have the following up grades
New One-way Bearing kit, as old one that came with the kit locked up after five flights.
Align Ally Bearing blocks, as I had a vibration that went away if I re-set the plastice blocks after a days flying, but came back. New blocks not had this problem since.
Frame stiffeners, no reason other than to stiffen up the fram on the edges.
90 Head dampners and spindle sleeve, as stock dampners give out after 15 flights. The new ones have improved the head no end and the heli is even more snappy.
Align Metal Fan as stock plastic fan was very poor, it warped.
Quick UK metal tail
All is good with my 600N so far and I am now happy

Got all those upgrades in the box ready to go but the only one I've fitted is the QuickUK tail as I'm happy with the stock stuff so far :)

Are the metal bearing blocks really that much better than the stock plastic ones? Is there any performance reason to switch if you've had no problems with the stock blocks? If so, would the GForce ones with the thrust bearings be a better idea, assuming the thrust bearings are secured in there in a good way (not clear from the pictures and descriptions)?
Just curious as I don't think I've had any problems with my stock blocks. Some play in the main shaft possibly due to the collar slipping but all else is good.
I'm allready using the feathering shaft sleeve with the 90d dampeners and I've ordered the Align metal fan and Align frame braces. Probably won't install the fan until I go in to replace the clutch liner or something.

I changed my bearing blocks because I was getting a vibration, that went away when I re set up the bearing blocks ensuring the main mast dropped into place with no effort and ran smooth, but after a days flying the vib was back, so I replaced them with the ally align blocks and I have no more issues with vibration.

Thought I post a pic of my new quick UK tail on my heli and a pic of the bearing blocks in place.
