The raptor stock plastic parts were engineered for extreme headspeed in 3d- 3d flying in a 36engine with 550mm blades.

Somehow, the engine got bigger and more powerful, the blades got longer and heavier. Headspeed got higher and higher. The engine limit in r50 went from os46 to the old os 50sxh and tt50 to the hyper and now, even the webra 55. Running 600mm on the r50 stock parts was already quite a load to the heli, now with the new titan, 620mm blades. Back in year 1999(or was it 2000) when the r30 was first introduced, headspeed of 2000 wasn't like the norm, much less the 2100headspeed. Whereas today, the norm is 2000. Bigger engine+longer blade+higher headspeed=???, go calculate urself.

I don't know if they did any improvement to the plastic material, but my old r30v1 and my r50v2 seems to have the same plastic. The very bare minimum upgrade for a r50 doing 3d is a metal head block. That is a must.
