Got one battery through the king before the wind came up. Now the King is down for the count until I get a new tail bearing. Good thing I have a BB kit coming

You can replace bearings in your Belt-CP. I doesn't happen all the time, its pretty rare in my experience, but it does happen.

yes i know but i was just wondering if i could just replace them or i had to buy a new cnc tail gear box because i'm lokking at them and i just don't see how to take them off.

You have to take the tail box apart neon, its splits in two and the bearings come out from the ouside in. So to answer your question, Yes you can just replace the bearings without buying a CNC tailbox.

thank you very much for the information
i also noticed today that some screws in my gear box were loosen. should i use loctite in cnc metal parts?

Any metal to metal should be Loctited. Metal to plastic, not really required most times but CA glue will lock metal threads to plastic if needed.

YeahGot 2 flights in the 20 mph wind we're having in Corpus.(Rappy 50) And 5 flights in the garage.(Belt CP) I love having more batteries. Typical day. No surprises. I did little circles in the garage. Very confined area. I may have to get a video ready for Dougs challenge. Later Brad
alignalign charger. It will do one battery at a time. I charge and charge and charge all the time. Its funny...My wife and i just got the lowest electric bill weve ever had. Weve been living in the same house for over 4 years. If anyone has a charger they want to get rid of let me know. It must balance though. I have all align connectors. It can be 12 volt. I actually prefer it. I was thinking of upgrading to something that will charge 2 batteries at a time. Maybe that will cure the problem. Maybe i should just break down and buy the fma charger. Brad
Dont wait for me. Ill get there when i get there

I was trying to keep up with the "Sliders".
I went from 1 to 2 chargers.
HUGE difference!
There's got to be a formula, but once you have 3 batteries, don't buy more, buy another charger.
I have 2 chargers now, but I want to buy another hyperion 610i to link up with the one I have. Then I can charge up to 12s packs or 2 6s packs at one time. Plus I can keep one on the boat during the summer to keep the helis charged there too...

For me, the Triton JR and Equinox are perfect.
I have 2, I don't have to wait for batteries anymore.
If I had the TREX600 instead TREX500, I'd probably need to do something different.
