Not sure how many of you know, but Bergen uses arrow shafts to make it easy and cheap to replace yout tail drive. Cheap reusuable and simple. Gotta love that!! This one in the pic was used in a Fury for quite a while.

I have a bergen TTube in a Xcell 50 but I have the Bergen ends instead of the easily removable MA dogbone. I see alot of stripped setscrews if I need to remove my tail boom in the future! :)

Actually, I've had the gasser apart several times and had no problem at all with the set screws. There's enough there that you don't have to use all of your strength to tighten them. I removed one from a 60 that had red locktight on the tail transmission, and with a little bit of heat it came right off.
I know some people recommend drilling one hole through the shaft to allow one of the set screws to latch on to the tail transmission input shaft.
A really good set of allens (thorpe) really makes set screws perform, I learned that the hard way :)
