Dfc kills sevos, I've put my 500 down twice now counding today on a full charged battery and the links fly off my elf head leaving no damage to servos. 450 dfc, kills 2-3 sevos every crash.

Oh, I agree in a crash the DFC seems to always kill servos on 450s at least. I don't really like DCF heads but seems everyone going that way.

Compass has never had a DFC head.
The Compass/TracX/SZ head is a driverless head, which has flexible links which break in a crash (unlike the rigid links on DFC heads). I have had a couple of hellatious (is that even a word?) crashes on the Compass head, one inverted and in Idle Up-never damaged a servo. Compass did introduce a conventional head with drivers for those who prefer this type of rotor head.

Correct and correct - I believe compass use breakaway delron tubes in their dfc design -
also goblin has gone to the HPS Head....new E700 - conventional.... Are we seeing the pattern?? Looks if your sponsored - dfc is the way to go...... Where do think - 'dfc' - 'DIRECT FROM COMPASS' saying came from? Align? -

After a bunch of reading, I decided to tear apart the logo and decide if I was going to build it based upon how many parts it would need to be in tip top shape. Turns out it might only need a one way bearing and a head button. If that's the case I'll just start slowly buying bits and pieces for it
