  • How often do u service ur heli

    Its been like a year now for my 700 and 600 and they have been flown a number of time but not hard because i dont really do 3d but they both have had some hard 3d flying(not by me)so i was wondering if i should change the bearings as in all of them.


    So when do u service urs and change the bearings
    Do what u do best

      I check parts after every flight and when I return from the days flying but I also check all bearings every week just to make sure as they have caused lots of damage b4

          I generally give the bearings a good check through when i'm doing crash repairs or if i can hear that things aren't quite right. other than that just fly it

              Pre flight & post flight checks don't count really imo.

                  I check mine before flying them & theey get checked when i'm cleaning them down at the end of the day as well. Never had any issues doing it this way

                    I do checks but that ain't a service. I greased up all ther thrust bearings the other week after around 6 months. Oh & i put new bullet connectors on but that's it. I put oil on the motor & shafts regulary but that's pretty much it

                        In the rare event I go some months without crashing, I usually take the head apart, grease the thrust bearings, reassemble. (I probably ought to replace the gear sets on the metal servos on my 500, they have a little bit of play).

                        If I crash, well, the head usually has to be taken apart anyway...

                          Erm, no set schedule here at all.

                          When I think about it really. Do the Srimok more so than the others as it requires certain things oiled and greased regulary but other than that I dont really do much.

                          Normally guys at the field spot a loose ball link hanging out before I do

                          Just done them all as I'm at home for a bit so gone over all off them.

                            Just the normal check overs and cleaning then the rule of if it's not broken don't fix it, kicks in and works for me.
