Blade grips 4mm vs 5mm

[Inspector Fuzz]

I have the stock 4mm blade grips on my Extreme and I noticed that you can now buy 5mm blade grips.. I would like to run 5mm bolts.. Is there any problem with drilling out the stock grips to 5mm?? Are the new ones that are 5mm any different, other than the holes?? I can't imaging that an extra .5mm of material from the hole would matter.. Thought I would ask, just in case.... Thanks,

There is no difference, they are just drilled up to 5mm. The 4mm bolts bend easily with the stiff blades we are running now. I can bend them in 1 flight. The 5mm will last, as I have not bent one........ yet :wink:

Just be cautious drilling the holes to get them centered and straight. A bit tight is better than loose.

When I bought my Fury, one blade grip was drilled 4mm and the other 5mm :shock: I called MA and was told to drill it to 5mm. The blade grips are the same.
