Convert old Trex 600 nitro to FBL

[waqr]

I`m planning on converting my old Trex 600N to FBL but I don`t know which head to use. Can someone recommend a good head and also specify what other parts I need in order to use this head.

Thanks!

There's two heads I would use, either the older Align 3G head, or the new DFC 600n head, the old 3G head works well and works of the original main shaft the dfc needs it's own lowers main shaft

Thanks!

Where can I find this older 3G head?

i have a RJX head on my 600 its quite good for the price, i got it from FL.

Isn`t possible to buy a new 3G head?

I just found this head. Is it any good and can I use my own swashplate and feathering shaft for it?

I have the old 3G Head, but replaced it with a chunky KDE upgrade (fwiw) - works well.
To complicate matters, it needed the FL main shaft (shorter than the normal main shaft, but different to the DFC shaft).

You will need to use their feathering shaft. But your main shaft and swash will be fine. I have just converted mine to the DFC head and it works great.

If you go for the align head you need the new type swash if you have the old green type. With the Fbl main shaft which is 10mm shorter you need the 700e blade to swash links

Thanks for all your answers

I am basically deciding between the Align DFC or the RJX head now.

If choosing the RJX I only need to buy the head since everything else can be used (swashplate, mainshaft etc.....)

If going with the Align DFC, what do I need except for the head assembly? Swashplate and shorter mainshaft?

shorter main now available I went with align dfc conversion kit and arms, used old swash until they released the dfc swash high costs but it transformed my 600n
now it lives in the boot and flown in preference to my 550 good luck with yours which ever way you go it's well worth the effort

I also have the kde "chunky" head as obi wan calls it. works really well and looks better than the old align head and rjx head.
