blade grips

[helicol1]

Hi had taken all the bearings and shims etc out of my blade grips, but knocked them on the floor, can anyone tell me what order they go back in? a picture would be good. I AM STUPID!

Im just consulting my crystal ball, the first question i am asking is what helicopter you have (-:
Once i know what heli you got it's over to the bottle for a quick rub and hopefully the genie will play ball
And create a image for me to upload to the website.

I can't say for certain, but I'd imagine that the 300x blade grips are probably a similar design as the 450/3D and 450X

Mikel Graham (Horizon Hobby) shows how to identify the shims and races for these in this video - hope this helps! Go from about 5 mins in ...

Edit - just found the vid for the 300x with James Haley ...

I'm guessing Blade 300x as the question is posted in the Blade 300x forum ....

Well yes, I did kind of think asking the question in the Blade300x forum would be a clue! Seriously though, thanks for the replies. I have watched the videos, but I seem to have more washers/shims than those shown. What I have each side /blade grip is:1x thrust bearing inner outer and middle, 1x gold coloured spacer,1x stepped washer, 2x small shims/washers, 1x large washer/shim and 1x dampner, and not much idea of what order they go in the grips/shaft! Thanks again for the help so far. Great heli by the way!

Have you not got the manuals?

[aloukz]

Dear colin, i had the same event/accident a few weeks ago while replacing the blade grips, but found a extra leaf/paper of diagram with the sequence of washers & spacers in the blade 300x box with the booklet. Check it. If needed I can undo my grips and post a photo for you.
Dont worry, you will fix it & enjoy it this sunny warm weekend.
Regards.
Aloukz.

Check this out.

The above mentioned page is with the 300x Manual as they missed a brass spacer in it.

[helicol1]

Hi aloukz I didn't have that extra page with my manual. Thank you for that, however I seem to have an extra 2 shims and 1 "step washer" each side that is not shown!? If you are happy to take your grips apart and take some photos that would be very helpfull, but please don't do it if you dont want to.

See if this helps. The step washer is with the step to the grip bearing. The brass fat spacer not pictured goes between the bearings in the blade grip.

[aloukz]

Let me know how you get on.
Regards.

Hi aloukz that's great, I can't try til this evening as going out flying now and my servo gears still havn't arrived. Dissapointing as I love learning very mild 3d on this heli! Thanks again will let you know how I get on.

Hi aloukz, having now had a chance to look again at the grip assembly, I still have more washers (or shims) than shown in your photos or in the instructions! Just to re cap I have: apart from the items shown in the photos etc. 2 x 6mm outside dia washers/shims an and 1 x 8.5mm outside dia washer/shim each side. All I need to know is the sequence of assembly for all of these including everything else in the grips.

Im flying with what is in the manual and as Shown in my pics..!! There is no play or slop and it flies fine. I dont think I would be able to suggest anything.
