Canopy Mount Alternatives

[josh mcormick]

Guys do you know any canopy mount kits that will fit this bird well. Screw type or push lock type. I wouldn't imagine they make any bird specific, but didn't know if any body tried any different brands. They always make all the cool aftermarket shit for the trex's. Be nice if the venders that sell these product would give thread size and length of mount. Getting tired of replacing rubbers. Thanks

The rubbers never run out if you shoegoo the back of them to the canopy.

The only thing I will do is to modify the factory Outrage mount on the bottom to accept a Booya thumb screw.

Capi thanks for the suggestion, and I'm sure it would help, but I'm stubborn and decided I want a new set-up.

Backburner, Thanks. Those mounts look nice. Even If I don't choose those mounts I'm glad to hear the t-rex 600 mounts will fit, that gives me a butt-load of options. I was looking at the push-locks from RH, (for the 600) and those look pretty nice to. The only thing that sucks is they only sell 2 to a pack, I guess I'll have an extra:roll:

The push lock ones at Ready Heli are the RC Booya mounts, the ones with the correct length is the T-Rex 600 Electric, not the nitro. All of the different styles of RC Booya mounts for the T-Rex 600 Electric are the same length, and will work fine, the type of release is purely to your taste.

IvanSpb used Velocity 50 style thumb screw mounts.

I hate the thumb screws on my 50, love the push on ones of the 550.
