I believe these are the old version of the tail grips? Should I change these out the V2 as the made a new version for a reason right.
Your input is appreciated,

from Chris
New Tail Blade Grips are now available from Bergen R/C.
The first thing you’ll notice is the black anodizing added to these grips. This will help differentiate the new ones from the old. The other difference is NOT so obvious.
With Malorie's and other pilots input, we have changed the angle of the arm to help the gyro and tail servo do the job of holding the tail. Simple explanation, centrifugal force is pulling the arm, eyelet, and shoulder bolt to a straight out position. The angle we have set is the neutral position for holding the tail still in a hover. So centrifugal force is HELPING to hold the tail still.
New Intrepid Gasser, EB, and Magnum kits will include these new grips as standard. Upgrades or replacements are sold with the radial bearings installed and new plastic links included. Part # is 232A and is $49.95 for the pair.
The old ones work for mild flying ,,but if you want to save your servo and gyro some wear and tear .... yes replace them as it will help them ...beside the bling factor is great :thumbup:
