Thanks to Ross at SAC for continuing to provide us review items; we at IPMS USA sincerely appreciate your contributions!

This set is, yet again, a simple drop-in replacement for the kit items. The set contains two main gear struts, a nose gear, and the retraction strut for the nose gear. Definitely a must if you are adding a lot of weight to the model; and particularly useful if everyone who views your model wants to “spin the rotor” (too much temptation) and see if it works.

(Office fun if you take models to work: Make your wheels, props and rotors fit real tight and watch the face of the holder when they snap off parts. Of course, there is the repair, but it’s a common theme.)

The usual notes apply to this gear; they fit perfectly, and provide the same level of strength and “peace of mind” with attaching wheels/tires to the axles. No wobbly gear here, and the short stroke of the struts makes it easy to fit them in place. The only problem that I see is you cannot see the gear in the well; it is pretty well hidden by the wheels and how short they are in the wells, but again the strength is the key.

As usual, SAC gear are an excellent investment, worthy of acquisition.

Thanks again to Ross and SAC for expanding his line of strong metal gear for our modeling enjoyment!
