Mini Titan Modifications...
I wanted to render the tail 'bits' a bit more robust by replacing it as follows..
(Not sure that the photos will appear, so I list it as well..) As the T-rex 450 version II is same size Heli, I thought I could use: - HS1013-2S - HS1064 - HS1108-84 - HS1257 Any suggestion welcome.. :mrgreen:

Cool, let us know if you try any of them and how well they worked.

The tail drive gear probably will not fit in the frames. Just eyeballing mine looks like it will come up a bit short.
I don't know if you flew an original T-Rex before the upgrades were released but that tail drive gear was one of the worst stock parts. The pulley and gear were horribly out of round and caused many vibrations. The upgraded metal pulley and blue gear were released to fix this. The plastic tail gear and pulley are much higher quality on the Titan. I really do not see any reason to upgrade this part even with a much higher head speeds. |

Main reason for trying, is that I'm a newbie and I have a bad 'tail heavy' habit. Each time the tail touch mother earth before the landing skids, the E325 tail fin is so thin that it flexes enough for getting in the way of the tail rotor way. That kill both rotor blades, the tail fin and generally the tail pitch control set as well To limit my daily visits to the hobby shop, I did replace the very flimsy plastic tail fin as follows: http://www.archeli.com.au/gallery/di....php?pos=-3647 But the 3 mm Plexiglass tail fin does not look fantastic So by using the T-rex carbon fiber tail fin I thought it would look better not to mention lighter :wink: In the process I thought I could use the upgraded T-rex metal bits as well. A big improvement was to limit the flybar swing and not getting the gyro or the canopy hit no more as follows: http://www.archeli.com.au/gallery/di....php?pos=-3646 This is my first 'real' mini heli and I'm now hooked to the hobby. TT will release (In June :?: ) the metal bits for the Mini Titan E325 but I'm getting impatient :mrgreen:

That's bad luck Henrik
I still have to take off for the first time with the mini titan, Just the thought of wrecking it or even damage something makes me more nervous , still i know it's something that WILL happen. I managed to wreck something even before flying yesterday..... Had a flat Rx battery, so i searched for another one, and found one. It had a modified plug, three times plugged in no problem, fourth time.. You guessed it..put it in the wrong way fried my brand new Rx... The battery now lives somewhere else, my wife ran off with it while i was trying to kill it with my forehead. Order no:1 a new Rx (I'm not going to manage a spreadsheet, I'll remember every single mistake i make ) Hope the Thunder Tiger metal parts will come soon though, I'm extremely impressed by the level of engineering of this heli. And would love to use parts designed by the same team. Eric

I am using the metal tail rotor on my miniT now, works great. You can't use the tail case because the titan boom is larger in diamter.
