... What are the little rubbery things I see in some photos of helis on the landing gear? I have seen some that are yellow, blue, black. They slide on the horizontal tubes of the landing gear.

Those are just meant to save the landing gear from wearing out so quickly on concrete, or asphalt etc.

They also help keep the heli from rotating while it is spooling up. They tend to make
the skids stick in place pretty good.
