My Posts This: Topic Forum | I've been flying my EVO for over a year and a half (350 flights) with the stock dampeners. I'm not a stick banger, but I'll push it pretty hard sometimes. No boom strikes have ever occured.
As an expiriment, I asked a friend with a lathe to cut down a set of red Raptor dampeners to the same size as EVO dampeners. I installed them 2 weeks ago and since I have 2 EVOs, I left stock dampeners in one and have been comparing them back to back. So far, I like the results. I thought the CX dampeners made it too nervous and touchy and they just didn't fit my flying style. But the Raptor dampeners are just right for me. They're stiffer than stock, but more compliant than CX. I haven't noticed any wobble or excessive touchiness, but it is crisper when I push it a little.
A really good setup would probably be the metal yoke with 4 red Raptor dampeners!
