Does anyone know if the dampers included in the 500 kit are the "extra hard" ones? Since they don't seem to sell soft dampers I am guessing the ones in the kit are probably the same, right?

If they are softer, is there any concern with running Rotortech 560's with the stock dampers? I've seen some people recommend the hard dampers for larger blades but I'm curious if it's preference or necessity.

Hi they sell them in soft/hard/extra hard. I believe the standard ones are hard. I think if you run 560MM rotors and 92MM tail rotors extra hard would be the way to go.
I run 550MM rotors and 80MM tail rotors with the stock dampers and no problem.

Thanks, I'll pull them out and change them.

I may be wrong but I think the extra hard are for flybarless to create a more rigid head.

5003D included ones are the hard ones, #3092 are the extra hard yes.
