No need to worry about toasting blades during a crash. So no need to carry tons of spare blades. Remember the blade system on TC5 where racers toasted their blades in aluminum spool, then toasted the spool as a result of that. Me personally, I prefer the plastic/composite spool.
Not driving a Top either but I don't really mind using alu outdrives for my spool. When the blades fit good in the outdrive it won't wear or break that fast. After putting the spool in the high position in the old TC5 I drove weeks without messing up in blades (in mod with braking)

Thanks
Try using thicker anti-rollbars both in the front and the rear.
