Blade 450X spindle has got me baffled?

[Bamboo]

So the spindle got bent and off it comes with all the washers etc. Not sure on what order they go back as two are very similar so i look at a u –tube Tutorial and there it is....very useful.
But then all of a sudden two new washers appear in the tutorial and i am thinking they never came off mine and where did they come of his? Anyone replaced the spindle on the 450x and can give me a run down on the washer arrangement.

Going outwards from the rotor hub I believe the order should be spacer washer>blade grip>thrust washer>inner (larger ID) thrust race>bearing cage>outer (smaller ID) thrust race>bolt washer>bolt.

So on further investigation the spacer washer was not on the helicopter ( as its BF). So could this explain the damage it occured on a very light crash infact the blades were still in good condition. Or is it that they thought they could do without it cost cutting maybe on a later model.

The plot thickens

I bet the washer was there, but they stick to the radial bearings when you take it apart hence they're very easy to miss or drop and lose them.

Horizon hobby also have this simplified version of the rotor head.

A mate crashed his 450x today and found out that it was thesame as mine. The two standard washers were not in there..So eithera mis print or they have decided on the later models they are just not needed ?
