The stainless seesaw screws were a problem area for me as the screws only thread in halfway into the seesaw. I used a longer set of black hardened screws and grinded them to a depth that would not bind the flybar when installed in the seesaw. The screws are then installed and secured with Red Loctite to ensure a maintence free connection.

Make sure you remove the set screw from the pulley to double check that it has been Loctited. Use Red Loctite on the 20mm bolt, or find a longer bolt and secure the end with a lock nut.

As you can see it is another high quality machined part. I interchange between stock and upgrade between my crashes and rebuilds and the performance between the two are identical.
