If I really liked a heli and it only had a belt version, I'd still get it. I have nothing against belts, I'm just lazy.

I adjusted one once it was cold then forgot to loosen it when I got home and came pretty close to breaking/stretching the belt or bending the front shaft. You could play a tune on it for sure it was so tight.

I've had better luck with the tubes and I find them easier to maintain.

Never had a static issue but thats another nice thing about them.

I like the head. Nice and clean looking.

There's a TT coming, I really don't mind the belt but I know I would end up getting the TT.

I just noticed they rear mounted the gyro and they put the rudder servo directly above the exhaust. Wonder why? Seems like a bad choice on a nitro.
