130x tail servo

call them, then you can't be filed away under "respond to later"

If you have no flat spot on one end then you have a duff TT for certain. it doesn't look particularly flat from the end by the way - you need to remove the C gear to see it but I assume you've done that.

You could file or Dremel a flat onto it, then use epoxy - mine held for quite a while.

I had the same thing. After 10 or so decent crashes, the rear TT gear no longer had a decent flat on it to locate it on the TT. A 2 minute job to replace (and there was one in the spare parts bag with the machine), and all is well again

It was that pesky fence mate. Dabbed a little ca on it and works fine now. Must get some ca deactivator now..
when does the indoor start again? Moved house last week so not had time to get to the field.

So I had one crash with my new 130x (got a second one). It snapped the peg off the tail slider. So its luck of the draw as I had 10 crashes with the other one before anything serious happened. And what a suprise how much does it cost......... £10. And just to prove that they are being ultra greedy on their prices I bought the Walkera 120D version for less than half that. Fits and works fine, bearing is actually a little better than the eflite. Looks like their gears might work as well.

That's exactly why I won't buy one it cost me £10 for nasty plastic blade grips was a proper stuff in (sorry Slippery)

Parts aren't cheap it would seem, but they seem to be pretty durable.

If you had crashed ANY other heli in that hard and at that speed, it would have cost you a lot more than a tenner

Unless you were Jamie in which case you would just pull the servo arm off and say "look servo arm came off"

Huh.?

[Swashbuckler]

Twas joke from when you had a go on his 700N

Going back to the original thread, my 130X tail servo works fine for a bit then seems to stick causing the heli to piro and once landed (crashed!!) it resets and is fine again....

is it a duff servo?

[Smudgyboy]

Looks like the same problem I'm having, may be a way to test the servo is to plug it into one of the other servo plugs on the ESC.

The problem is which one is which, as you look at the plugs they have colour coding on them, has anyone found out which is which? (being lasy here)

Once the tail servo is swopped with the say the elv, you can hold it to see if it works under load?

If it works then it's the gyro I guess.

I guess I'll try that, thanks
