I have tried fitting an RJX flybarless head to my TRex 450Pro but the blade holders lock up every time I tighten the bolts into the feathering shaft.
I have tried 1, 2 and 3 shims behind the thrust bearings but no difference.
Anyone got any tips please.
Post Edited Tuesday 14th.
Just to go on further:--Another day wasted today.
I have tried every combination of shims. Including no shims.
I have used an Align feathering shaft, rather than the RJX supplied one.
I have used longer and shorter bolts, all to no avail.
The blade holders have been off an on at least 40 times and I'm ready to throw it all out of the window.
The Align head might be a bit delicate on the blade holder ball link hole which is why I am trying something different, but at least they assemble correctly and easily every time.
To make it worse the RJX head does not use the standard Align 3G push rods. I have had to find a pair that are 10mm shorter.
That means every time I need to replace a rod I have to buy the Align 3G ones for the stronger ball links and also a complete set of flybar head push rods.
Whoever designed this head at RJX wants shooting.
Why can't it be assembled without shims like the Align.
Why don't they include a drawing.
Why don't they tell you that the push rods are not standard.
Why don't they include some pushrods if they are not standard.
Really brassed off.
Never again will I be touching anything RJX
