Woodies Tight in Blades Grips

[J-Heli]

Has anyone else experienced that the wooden blades are an extremely tight fit for the stock blade grips?

[Buzzkill]

Never had that problem my self. I've went through at least 12 sets of woodies so far.

Can You sand the roots?

That's what I do with the T-Rex.

I tried sanding the roots. It's not just a kind of tight fit, I tried to put them on, but I was pushing so hard I was to the point where I stopped because I didn't want to bend something. Maybe they're just defective blades. I'll get another pair and try them.

mine fit very tight too. i had to REALLY sand them. then i wrecked, went back to plastic, and have never looked back :thumbup:

My grips were pretty tight, and the sharp edge in the opening would dig into the soft plastic on the grip.

I lightly sanded them with 400 grit and the problem went away.
