  • Beast in Trex 600N - servo arm hitting case

    Has anyone else had the problem I'm getting with the V2 Beast. On the Trex 600N, the elevator, aileron and pitch balls / links face the servo casing. To get the 6 deg blue condition (J), I have them mounted at 10.5 mm centres but when I need to set the swash limit (L) I can't get the blue light because the ball links hit the servo casing. Collective pitch set at +/- 13 degrees. I'm using Futaba 2.4 and Align 610 servos.
    Any help would be very welcome.
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    Which servo horns are you using? The round align horns shouldnt hit the servo cases.

    In any case, achieving the 6 degree cyclic pitch is more important than the blue light.

      I'm using the six leg ones as I'd read that these were ideal for the 10.5mm throw. I'm getting the 6 degrees and blue light (J) okay. It's setting the swash limit (L) that's causing the binding against the servo case. (ball links rubbing against servo casing)

        I'd suggest either changing the servo horns or reducing your collective pitch slightly which will allow you to increase the swash limit on elevator and aileron. As far as i'm aware the round align servo horns are fine with the beastx and allow the ball/link to clear the 610 casings.

          Thats what i've got on my 600n, if you keep the balls on the
          inside of the 6 point JR horns but move the balls on the aile
          levers to the outside, its tight! but you should be able to get 13max
          i use spectrum HS6040 servos on all my beast X helis

            Thanks for your input guys. I've managed to solve it. I put a couple of small washers into each servo horn splined hole to give just an extra 0.5mm clearance. This has given the blue light on step J and the red on step L giving + /- 13 deg collective with the swash limit just short of the blue light. I'll give it a go at that.
            Cheers,
            Ian.
