It would be nice if we could purchase after market replacement parts made from 'Lexan', a nearly indestructable plastic! 
then the metal parts would be the 'weak link'! Lol

Can't find anywhere selling the plastic moulding only (as suggested in the video), rather than the full Main shaft assembly – ideas anyone?

Thanks beedoc.The video was actually produced by Supernova (Bernie) He is good at it.He is producing more and will be uploaded soon to show more simple fix problems.
As regard required parts,look at this post I just put up on cheap parts,you should find what you need there.

They've been having problems with bad plastic for the gears, so it's very conceivable that they have bad plastic on these and that there is nothing wrong in any design.
Might be a penny cheaper plastic, or just a low-quality crap plastic that is just lower quality and more crap in certain areas of it.
What I want are gears from a 107C to see if they're metal on that one, or just metal-looking plastic.
There's a lot that goes wrong when you crash them a lot or just right...
I am not saying this is a Deliberate design, but it all depends on the person with the controller, learning to fly this little bird needs practice and lots of it to avoid the crash, they are not indestructible !!!!
s107 top main shaft broke
In the first page there's 6 recent. Near the top of the second page there's one from 311 days ago. I don't know.
Deliberate as Supernova said is logical but....
Hi Newbie here too. I've also experienced broken tabs that hold the blades to the main shaft(inner).
The "pins" that drive the blade holder of the upper blades. It happened after only 20mins of fun flying. Syma 107G bought in December. Faulty batch? or deliberate weakness (as suggested by Supernova). TBH took a while to diagnose because it threw one of the connect buckles. Finally found this post on RCforums (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums.....8;page=151). I'd be interested to see how many others are affected.

It could be a weak shear point in design to save the gears ?
I intend doing a video to show how to repair it.
I don't know how buissy you've been, SF, but this is the 3rd or 4th one of these cases where it's happened.
It's not the usual thing to happen, and when they're making millions of them every year over in china, they're bound to get a number of bad parts.
I wonder if it is like the bad gear batch.

No-has not been common-looking into to this-post soon

Hello. I'm new to this but there seems to be a lot of people having the same problem with the plastic tabs breaking off the top section of the main inner shaft. Happened to me on the second day (not a bad crash), and it seems to be happening quickly to many. My daughter has the s111, has used hers a lot more than I did mine (+ a week longer), has put hers through a lot more abuse, and it still keeps on going. Another daughter wants the blue s107 (I have the yellow) but I'm thinking of another s111.
Is this the result of a lower grade plastic?
Has this always been common with the s107's?
