I finally got my MX 450 to fly awesome. It is so locked in. The only problem that I have is the tracking. It is still tracking about a 1/2 in off. Can't seem to get it any closer. Does anyone have any ideas?? I was wondering if anyone was able to rig up an adjustable pitch rod?? the stock one is a fixed length. I was thinking if your could rig up an adjustable one the tracking might be easier to fix. I am running CY 325's so the blades aren't the problem.
Thanks for input.

What I would look at is the following:
I would change over to the TREX feathering shaft and blade holders. Then check the swash and all connections and make sure that in High Idle at half stick you are at 0 degrees pitch and everything is as neutral and level as possible. Also check your dampening O rings and spacers...make sure both blades are free and travel equally. Check the travel of the servos and make sure that they are moving equally.
I did an upgrade from the MX400 to basically a 450 with half and half TREX parts.
It can get frustrating but go back to the instructions and remeasure all of you linkages.
Its a start...may sound newbie..sorry.... but it worked for me.

Well, after much trial and error, I tightened up everything on the head and was able to get the MX450 to track nicely.
