i stripped the gears on my 450 pro

hi guys

after spending good quality time setting my 450 pro up and on my first few flights i strppied the 2 small gears that are turning the tail ..how it happened

well i landed on a soft grass and the tail landed first thus digging it self on the ground.i mean that was unbeliveable how am i supposed to land .!

this heli flys really easily but landing it seems like a bitch to me . (hopefully its only downside)

i ordered this item Trex 450 Pro Tube Front Drive Gear Set H45040T Torque From Heliguy.com actually the 45055.its the same just you get another pair.


anyway can someone please please tell me how i am going to go about to put this in? as i dont wanna rip it all up.

thanks guys you guys are very helpful!!!

Its easy

Remove the boom clam, gyro mount, and then the 12 screws that hold that front tail box together.

Pull it out and apart, then replace.

Take the old bearings off (best way to get the old one off nearest the 'umbrella' is to get some side snips and cut the rest of the gear then pull the bearing off.

Put the bearings back in, then close the front tail box back up (minus umbrella gear), now push the gear through the bearings.

It will be easier when you see it.

Well from what you have described you have stripped the rear umbrella gears, and your clicky link is for the front set of gears?

thanks

but i lose you there when you said 12! screws.

[3Dheliflyer]

[3Dheliflyer]

[sacko]

Front TT gears, or rear?

Oops, I meant 8.

[3Dheliflyer]

[3Dheliflyer]

[sacko]

Follow the above, they are usually the weaker ones.

Get the manual back out .. but its honestly easier than my description.

[3Dheliflyer]

ok so what did you buy the same ones?

they shud make steel ones!!

[sacko]

Yup, they are the correct ones for the front.

[3Dheliflyer]

hey how do you land coz its just gonna happen again to me if i land on the grass

[del19_82]

Dont forget to disconnect the tail control rod as well, will make it easier to work with the boom if its not attached to the heli!

1ft up from the floor, flick throttle hold on and land making sure its a bit nose first.
