e-E-Flite Blade CP CX 400-3D > Blade CX2 Top bearing upgrade

Hi there,

I have just purchased all the metal upgrades for my Blade cx2, and fitted them. All went well until I came to fit the top bearing that goes on top of the aluminium shaft. The bearing is somewhat lose on the shaft. The plastic original fits tight to the shaft but you are still able to pull it on and off.
How have you fitted the top bearing upgrade? does it have to be glued on or fixed with bearing retainer, I would welcome suggestions as I don't want to use anything that will stop me from using the bearing holder again when I bend a shaft and have to replace it.

Thanks

Good luck

yes they seem to be a bit on the loose side how ever the top assembly keeps it from flying off and its not enough slop to be a problem for the cx2, something loose on a bigger heli is a different story....dont glue it you will need to get it back off later you could rap it the main shaft with a plastic bag then slip on the upper bearing then pust the inner shaft thru. (in thery that should help some.... anyway good luck and have fun....

Got round this by using green locktight, It has fixed it very well and the bearing is running true which was my main fear. Only time will tell if I can get it off easily.
Thanks for the advice.

Good luck
