TT has ironed out the Jesus Bolt issue a long time ago. These are the bolts that have at least 3/4 shank or shoulder and 1/4 thread and can be found in 3 places. (let me know if I made a mistake)

bottom of the main shaft - holds the one way clutch/main spur
top on the main shaft - holds the head hub
main blade grips- holds the blades

My rap50 came with a 3mm shouldered bolt, do they have problems with this one as well?

The problem will arise if a fully threaded bolt is used in those areas where a lot of shear stress is present.

Ok thanks for the clarification.
I've tried to spray paint my old raptor moulded body before with very poor results like peeling, etc. does anyone have long-term success?

2 gallons? Good for beginners trying to learn hovering.
