Hello Friends
Since I really like my little flying tank, I thought of an small up-grade...Since the plastic stock swashplate developed quite a big slop, I considered a metal up-grade version from X-treme Production...I put some pictures of both old and new, and by flying a bit with the new swash, I feel the heli reacting a bit faster and feeling a bit more "locked" in...You can find the part on miracle mart website that sent it to me for a small review,
here. I think a more interesting up-grade, would be their combo that they also sell, but at the time of this post, it was out of stock,
here.

Now, hopefully my budget will allow for the addition of more metal parts in my Master CP, and later on I will have to see how the metal absorbs shocks in the eventuality of harder touchdowns compared to the stock plastic...
But you can't have it all, can you ? :)
What up-grades do you guys have on your Master CP's ?
Let's share this info, and maybe consider these also...
Take care and happy flying :)
