600 CNC pitch slider

[cupracing]

Do they make a strong CNC pitch slider for the 600 such as the microhelis ones for the 450?

[cupracing]

ive found this one, its for the 600e but I assume its the same part. Any good?

That kit doesn't replace the actual slider though right? It's just the links from the slider to the grips and also some extra bearings for the grips. I never had a problem with the slider on my 600N though for what it's worth -I'm not sure how common it is for this part to fail???

I've used a couple of CNC head parts for a 600N from sportsmoto. The quality was fine. I think the stuff they sell is made by Sonnix. To be honest though I don't really see why it's necessarily any better or worse than the Align parts -I just bought them at the time because a) they were cheaper and b) I liked the colour.

Yeah those parts look good from the pics. Are they the exact same design/shape as the align parts? I'm tempted to get the mixing arms and seesaw holder for £9 each (instead of aligns price of £17 each).

Main and tail grips and tail box for £59 looks like a bargain too!

The sportsmoto assembly looks a better buy than the KDE Direct as obviously it comes with the pitch slider plus the links are ballraced at both ends unlike the KDE offering.

Just a thaught the 700 has a metal tail pitch slider and from memory the shaft diameter is the same as the 600 maybe this will do the job...

80% of the 700 tail shaft is larger in diameter mate, It is stepped/reduced at the end to the same diameter as the 600 shaft though to allow fitment of the 600/700 Metal tail grip units which are the same for both machines.

The 700 pitch slider & tail bellcrank are huge compared to the 600 items.
Me and Busterboy tried to fit the 700 parts to the 600 last week after I snapped my tail control arm after an enthusiastic landing and didn't have a spare. Not a chance And there endeth my flying day

hey all,

Just wondering if you thought this the £59 main grips / tail grips / tail hub deal was worth a go? My tail is all plastic and is becoming sloppy as hell. There's even a split in the plastic where the bolt/ locking nut is, so I need a replacement/upgrade quite urgently.

Are they compatible with ALIGN parts? Ie will the align metal slider and L bracket work with that bundle?

A lot of the sportsmoto parts say they are for the E version, such as:

and

Will they fit the N?
