RE: has anyone ever used the belt cp head for HBK2?
the only difference I can find between the 2 (other then the shiny links) is the flybar case and arms that screw onto it, but if all you're after just buy these

these must be used together, will not interchange with HBK II, just these 3 parts,

I was looking for a solution of how to get CNC performance W/O risking CNC parts & price at the top end. I've been running these parts for about month now. & can confirm, taken as a set, they’ll drop right in.
What you get for the effort is bearings in place of bushings, & metal to plastic rather than plastic to plastic link joints. After a month’s worth of flying (~5hrs air time) wear if any has been minimal.
The only negatives I see, are one, the flybar center post pivots appear to be no stronger than the original (IMO a high failure point W/ stock setup), and two, the ball screws (particularly the blade clamp ones) are too short & too fine of a thread to be screwed directly into plastic. Would have preferred that they mated W/ a threaded metal insert. But to their credit, to date, I haven't experienced a failure.
