has anyone had experience with the helidirect parts for the lepton?

It looks like decent stuff but, what can you tel from a picture.

I mean, how bad can a carbon boom be?

Well i have an answer for that carbon boom " Flimsy" not very thick material, threw mine away. I use the flybar rods though, because they are stiffer then the stock Hirobo Lepton ones. I have most of those parts for crash replacements and they all seem to fit on the Lepton.

Well, I don't know about the flybar rod either... I broke one inflight where the peddle attached. I was just hovering and the peddle flew by someones face.

Heli Direct advertised 23T pinions - I ordered 3 - but they turned out to be 24T
Heli Direct would not refund me, dam unreasonable if you ask me...
Neadless to say, I avoid purchasing from them now...
