Having read through most of the threads, there's a few swashes and main shafts that people are swapping in the Swift.

Can you list which swash and/or main shaft you are using?

Did you have to do any modifications ?

Thanks!

... But honey it was only $$$

23 views and no replies ?

I am assuming that leaving the stock swash in is the best option.

I was under the impression that there are people using other swash plates.

I will be sticking with the stock swash then.

I was one of the 23 views.

I haven't heard of anyone using an aftermarket swash.

I did a search and found some people with stock swash issues.

I guess with the Swifts it's hit and miss with the spool up/down vibes.

How about main shafts? Readyheli's sold out of their hardened main shafts.

All in all, I see the Swift as a great deal for the money spent.

I have a Readyheli hardened main shaft, was one of the first to get one, and still haven't installed it. I hope I just didn't jinx myself! Anyway every part on my Swift, newer yellow canopy one, is original and non shaking. I guess I got lucky, real lucky!

I can't believe how well it flys specially with me flying it!

I think it's safe to assume that the new batches (with yellow canopy) are "dance" free... However, I will get the readyheli shaft once I crash.

Hopefully they pump out some more as they are sold out.

As one of the original 23 I thought someone else would reply

.

I'm using a Logo 10 mainshaft which needs an additional collar on the bottom as its slightly longer than the stock Swift and the centres of the holes are father apart. The shaft is much harder than stock, I couldn't drill it without annealing it first, and looks to be made from solid bar, centre bored and outside ground. The wall thickness it greater than the Swift shaft as well.

I'm looking for a shaft that I don't need to modify heavily.

The readyheli one looks good, but have to wait.

I would think the logo10 alumn swash would work

Raven Swash, and the Logo 10 or 14 swash fits very nice as well, much better than the stock crapper, pics in gallery of Swift swash issues.

This is an Xcell Swash

This is a swash from a Raven

...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins...
