Align T-REX 600N 700N > T-REX 600N Need new paddles

So, I just got back from flying my 600N after doing a few upgrades. And I spent a little time getting everything tweaked out like it was, blade tracking, tuning, and trimming. Then I checked all the screws, yadda yadda, all the safety important stuff. Anyway, once I was satisfied with it and trusted that it would not explode once I went to idle up, I flipped the flight mode switch and off I went. I started practicing tic tocs and then I saw something fly off. Fortunately, it was just the sticker on the paddles. This is the second time it's happen in about 5 or 6 gallons or so. But, I'm ready to get rid of them and upgrade them to something better. So, what paddles do people recommend for this helicopter? I'm looking for something reasonably priced, I'm not trying to pay $50+ for a pair of paddles

Thanks!

If you don't wanna spend the money for the CY stubs, then the Align Carbon paddles fly really nice. Good price too.

Align or Raptor... Ive flown both and like the Align better

V paddles SUCK in QUALITY I think..... Clear does not cover the paddles and the finish is BAD.... NOT worth the 30 bucks

also flying the align carbon paddles, they fly good and seem like they would survive a crash better than the stubz.

I like the 80mm v paddles the best. They are quick and track like they are on rails.

I fly one 600e with 80mm Vpaddles and my other 600n with the Align carbon paddles and the Vpaddles seem to be more consistent through manuevers, but the Align paddles feel great for quick 90 to 180 degrees throwing around. Both have the same head speed. Just my .02 cents.

i have the curtis carbon stubz, and there diffinatly a very quick paddle,and the heli seems to track perfectly fine as it did with the stockers, maybe even a little better, oh and the finish is very very nice and seemless

I like how the stock paddles fly, but I hate changing the stickers. I tried the v paddles, but I am going to switch back to the stock. The stock ones seem quicker to me. Have you tried the TT "greenies"?

Love my stubz they're fast, track fine, improve cyclic power,...
and oh if they say they aren't as stable as other paddles, screw them I found even more stable.

another vote for the align carbon paddles.. can't fault them. or KS paddles which aint too bad, very cheap but not as good as the aligns..

the green tt paddle are going to be slower than the stock i would imagine. Stock paddles are 16g and the TT green are 20g, the align carbon and stubs are close to 12, so they would improve cyclic speed.

I swapped from the stock to V-paddles, no real difference in cyclic response but the grub screws on the V's seem prone to stripping.

I put on TT Greenies and YOW, the cyclic rates improved dramatically, so thus far I've stuck with them. Very inexpensive, and good for disk visibility too.

Never, ever, ever, ever give up.

the TT greenies may be heavier, but they are longer if I am correct which adds up to faster cyclic..

I also like the stock paddles but got sick of the stickers flying off. Just clean the paddles good with alchohol, replace stickers and then run thin CA around the edges. Works great so far.

I run the Stubz on the other 600 and they are great but I really like the smoothness of the stock ones. Call me nutty I guess.

That makes me as nervous as a Nun in a pickle patch!
