carbon tail rod upgrade

[aww]

I’m looking to upgrade the tail control rod but the only one I can see is the one for the new 600E. Is this the same one as that fitted to the 600LE V2? I’m also having the same problem for my 700LE. Has any one fitted this upgrade?

If you really need one try Quick Uk, do you think it's a worthwhile change

Daves suggestion is best,the kit comes in bits so all you have to do is replace the carbon or give Budd a call at QUK and he will custom one up for you,Take yours off and measure it from ball hole to ball hole and let him know.No job is to big for Budd.01672 569400

I agree with the Nick and Dave go with quick uk as thts wot i did, i got the trex 700 carbon rod, the trex 550-600 alloy boom clap/ pushrod guide and the ball link holders.
I cut 136mm of the 700n carbon rod which gives a nice lengthon the pushrod, Then i epoxied the end caps onto the carbon rod (make sure you rougthen up the inside of the end cap so its has a strong glue bond) and i also crimped down the alloy endcap slightly so its not just relying on the epoxy to hold it!!, then i slid the whole lot onto the boom and adjusted the pushrod length then tightened up the ball links and studs with thread lock, finally tighten down the boom clamp/ pushrod guide so the rod gets a nice even run with no bends. This was put onto my trex 600le It flys very nice and the tail seems more solid and presice!!

I upgraded the to the carbon tail rod on my 700E.. but to be perfectly honest it makes no difference. IMO, save your money and use on something you really need.

I wore one out on a 700n where it goes through the guides.I have also just put one on the 550 as that was wearing out too...both rods were original parts as well,550's over 200 flights.
