Hi guys, does anyone make a taller landing gear for the 50 Titan?
Or maybe some kind of riser kit, spacers, etc? If so, would it change the flight characteristics in any way?
Thanks guys

I gave a try one time on a friend's raptor 50. The helicopter did not change behavior in the flight, but was much easier to tilt either left or right when it was in the ground, because the centre of gravity was higher than before. So, we removed it. It was not something that we bought from the trade. We had made a type of spacer with long screws and nuts, but i don't recommend something like that.

I run the QUK heavy duty gear on all my birds (well, maybe not on a 450). They are wider, a bit taller, and available in screaming neon colors. They are such a standard for me that when I showed up with a Stratus with stock white gear I took a lot of ribbing.

I have some Raptor-60/90 landing gear on my 50 right now. I had to drill some new mounting holes but other than that they work fine.

Also, if you want some really tall gear take a look at the Century Condor landing gear.

The spacers are almost an inch tall and add quite a bit of height. I personally like the low rider look so I run lower LG and no spacers on my Predator. I added some small spacers to the rear just to help keep the tail out of the dirt.

That was exactly the whole idea. Just to keep the tail out of the grass and dirt. Maybe just some shims under the back strut.
A thin shim would be more way out at the tail. Hmmm, got me thinkin again. Thanks guys for the replies.
