Yeah just add 4 or 5 mm to the rear struts and it should life the tail up enough. I used a couple 4mm nuts on the rear when I had the Raptor skids on there and you could go a bit more for a really tilted look if you want.

I just received my 12 tooth pinion and new set of Beam skids today so mine now has the Beam skids back on. I hope these are tougher. I flexed them a bit and they feel sturdy enough but it's hard to tell.

I just got the Align F3C skids and as said, they're a perfect fit and the Beam pipes fit nicely. I've got a 5mm block under the back skid to lift the tail a bit.

I also got two of the new tail belt pulleys, but you can't replace the bottom pulley because it's placed further forward, which would foul the end of the boom? It definitely wraps the tail gear better though...

I haven't seen the new tail belt pulleys I'll have to look out for those. I have not noticed any sign of problems with the original ones.

Next time I have to buy anything else I'll go ahead and get a pair of the 700 F3C skid struts though, just to be on the safe side.
