Which 600 parts wear the most?

[Flybar-less]

Just wondering which part or parts wear the fastest, excluding gravity surges? After around 30 flights on both 600s, I have found the belt drive pully pin slot gets sloppy, as well as canopy grommets. Another part is the counterbearing itself. I have also bent a number of blade bolts.

The Logo 600 seems to be the lowest maintenance heli I've owned.

On the unusual side I have replaced a main gear and 2 pinions per about 100 flights. One pinion seperated, the other was badly pitted after stipping a main gear then flying a back a few hunded yards. In this particular case, I have no idea why the main gear stripped, but the good thing about the drive system is once the teeth are gone, it is still a friction drive, which allowed me to fly back to a reasonable distance over trees to shoot an auto. I think I was doing rolling stall turn over the other end the field.

I have 61 flights now on my Logo 600-3D, and have none of the issues you've detailed (yet, but I'm checkin' at the end of every flying session). I agree, the machine is very maintenance free. Other than tightening the T/R belt once, all I've done is charge the batteries and fly it. I can't even find any "wear-in dust" around the main gear, like I always found with my L10-3D with a new main gear. I must be doin' something right. :P .....Now that I think about it, I've not had it apart since I've built it, to see if the belt drive pulley pin slot is sloppy. When I crash it, I'll find out.

My experience exactly - apart from the canopy tearing on the bottom lip haven't had any discernible wear and tear

In my opinion, its the most reliable heli ever, especially with vbar. Everyone at my field thinks its unfinished.
The only thing that has worn out after 100 flights was.... the skids!! lol jokes.
Oh and when it went in the first time the only thing that broke was the main shaft, everything else was fine. blades, boom servos are great! Didnt even hit throttle cut before it went in.

I have the vid here somewere, i will post it if i can find it.
