Default Swashplate, Plastic or Aluminum ?
I realized that my Plastic Sashplate developed some slop, does anybody know if the aluminum version is more solid and worth to upgrade ?

The plastic swashplate on one of my X3s also developed a slop after a hard crash. I replaced it with the CNC one which costs only 10 bucks more. At least two hard crashes (last one broke a frame) with the CNC swash and still no slop.

No slop in my CNC swash after a number of crashes. Worth the buy.

I've had mine for over a year and no slop, countless number of crashes I bent one of the arms a little one time and was able to bend it back. It's not as pretty as it was when new but performance is still solid.
