Thunder Tiger Raptors 30-90 - Imperio > Blade grip bearing bad???

Ok, here goes another impossibility...

I'm building the rotor head and I am ready to slide the blade grips onto the spindle shaft. One goes on great. However one simply jams right at one of the radial bearings. I remove the bearing and try it alone on the spindle - no go. Then I remove the "good" grip and try the other side of the spindle, it will not fit. In fact, it makes small cut marks on the shaft where it is trying to slide on.

A friend, who is a machinist, told me that the bearing is bad. So, now what do I do?!! Where and how do I get another?

Thanks Rick!

I just sent "Doug" an e-mail re. my problem.
Do they generally reply to such matters?

It sounds to me like there may be a slight bur on the spindle. It doesn't take much. You can take a little emory cloth and clean up the feathering shaft a little and give it another try. A 'bad' bearing won't do that. One other thing, make sure your feathering spindle is straight by rolling it on a mirror, you may have a slightly bent shaft (warrenty issue).

I've had good luck calling them! I know Ace recently moved and do not know if they are settled in yet!
