Synergy R/C Synergy N9 > Watch out for the 107-104 - 2mm Pivot Balls

I got one of them broken off from one of the servo arms on my Synergy while I was doing tictocs. I had to cut the engine mid air and watched it dropping like a brick from 20 ft off the ground. The tail went straight into the ground and the whole tail hub was totaled.

It just fatigued due to too much strain from previous crashes but I'm still quite disappointed

So guys, please watch out for these balls

I'm gonna use the Thunder Tiger balls, which have 2mm screw going through them, on all the servo arms

Wow,sorry to hear this.I've broke some myself and ever since,been leary of these linkage balls.Never caused me a crash though.I changed all of mine to the 107-106.They're much heavier and long enough to go through a futaba wheel with a nut on the back.This has been working quite well for me.

....say goodnight to the bad guy...

Thanks for the heads up, but sorry you had to find out this way.

So.... Rule of Thumb..... Replace pivot balls on servo horns after a crash.

Mental note taken.

After having mine loosen up and one break, I switched them all out to the 3mm thread version.

See the details here- Servo Arm Mod


Well worth your time and money to do this!!!
