I did the same conversion buying the parts seperately...didn't know there was a conversion kit. But that's ok, I'll buy the kit to have on hand!

No design flaw with the current landing gears. There was many people asking us if we would do a tuff strut conversion for the Whiplash. So we listened to the people and gave them what they want!Miniature Aircraft

I converted mine a while back and love the look....give the Heli a very aggressive stance.

Are the original struts a week point? will I hurt my frame if I have a mishap. this is my only concern.

should I do this adoption to prevent problems in the future?

I just installed the upgraded landing gear and although I was apprehensive about the cost, in typical MA fashion, it didn't disappoint me. Well thought-out quality with all the necessary hardware included. I'm glad I bought it.
I'm sure this one-piece design will do more to protect the tabs on the bottom of the carbon fiber frame sides and the flexibility of the struts are a bonus. Built-in shock absorbers are always a good thing for me.

Thanks guys.

Whiplash Tuff Strut Conversion

Can a person buy a Whiplash kit with the "Tuff Strut" option instead of stock landing gear?
