What is the size of the thrust bearings for the tail of an ECO 8? And, Where do you get them? What about for the main rotor?

The feathering shaft is 4mm. The Thrust bearing kit utilizes a special cup washer which extends the length of the feathering shaft to accomodate.

Availible at www.fxaeromodels.com

See the file section at the bottom of my gallery for a CAD of the assembly. This will give you a better idea of my rambling.

Brian. I looked all over the FXaeromodels site and cannot find those bearings.

 It looks like they have removed them from their product list. It used to be product number 689. Give them a call and see if they have any on the shelf.

Did some searching. I have yet to buy anything from CME hobbies but they have been around. Here is a link to the Thrust bearing upgrade:

I bought those

I bought that bearing kit from CME, it arrived in 5 days just as ordered. You can get the thrust bearings from VBX for cheaper, but you won't get the T-nuts or bearing cups that come with the kit.
