Sleeve
Never seen them before . I use the one it came with. Iwonder if they are different lengths to accommodate the thickness of the O ring ??

looks like there just selling them in the colors you can buy the landing gear/paddles in, kinda stupid considering you cant even see the sleeve.

I think they're graded like the dampeners but I could be wrong.

Good point Larry . Being the O rings are all Black they may have a different hardness and the colored sleeve is your reminder of what you are using.

Just go for the KBDD orange dampers, no sleeve required, they make the head nice and stiff and are very hard wearing. From my experience they make the heli fly a little better than the stock dampers.

From what i know, the sleeve is made of a hard plastic, and its purpose is not to be hard or soft, its to keep the feathering shaft from going up or down on both sides, it allows the shaft to pivot from the center. So when you do a hard punch out the damps dont take all the force, some of it is absorbed at the center where the sleeve meets the head. Not sure if they changed the design of the sleeve but mine has a step in the middle, its not uniformly smooth the whole length like shown in the pics. |

If you change the thread title to "Feathering shaft sleeve new colors ??" or something like that it will get much more attention. Otherwise it looks like just another "I forgot to put in the sleeve does it matter" thread.

instead of dampener color = X durometer, it could be sleeve color = x druometer. |
