TT Upgrade

[Planehazza]

Just wondering if anyone has bought the torque tube upgrade for their vision 50? Personally I think belts are a thing of the past and I'm sick of the slop etc, but I don't know if I can justify £100 for it.

EQ-30050 Torque Tube Conversion Kit For Vision 50

its noisey as hell, works ok, but i ended up changing back to a belt in the end!!! its more forgiving, just set the tenson again dude, make sure everything is tight and forget about it

What's the advantage of a TT tail drive?

[psychosaffa]

TT doesn't sap as much energy as as a belt when it comes to autos.
i wouldn't say that the belt drive is dated, as mikado use it with their helis and even the goblin has a belt drive.
between my belt driven 500 and TT 500 id say that the belt just feels smoother. both are exactly the same spec apart from the tail drive

[Desmo Pete]

Thanks for that.

The last 4 helis I've had have been belt.

I never bought the upgrade for those reasons in the end. Couldn't really justify the £100 cost for no real gain.

That's the ultimate mate. The competition had an RRP of £239 but typically sold for just over £200.

The comp was tail heavy with a belt and really tail heavy with a tt.
