I have this highly modified eco with a hacker b50-11L,castle creations 60amp,and a 14.8v li-poly 8000mah with all aluminum frame stiffner and upper bearing support.The problem I'm having is it breaks the bolts on the upper bearing housing and the base plate.WHY?????Replaced main shaft and still did it.All I;m doing with it is hovering.Is there a trick to putting the aluminum 45 tooth tail gear in because it hits the frame.My head speed is set at 1750.here are some pics to help out.

Hi,

I have almost exactly the same setup as yourself -



The main difference being carbon frames, I tried Aluminium frames, see this thread - http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t203534p1/ and had a lot of trouble with splitting around the upper head area, although no problems with bolts.

I think your problem has to be related to a source of vibration I would imagine high frequency so it could be related to the tail. The problem I found with the aluminium frames was that they didnt absorb any of the vibrations as carbon or plastic do so everything has to be fully balanced. After checking the tail setup have a look at the feather shaft I know this has caused people some problems.

You might ultimately look at some form of dampening to prevent the problem, keep working on it as the frames are absolutely fantastic
