Need help building Trex 500 please

[heli4fun]

Hi,

I just got most of the parts for my T-rex 500 and started going through the manual and also build videos to build it, so far so good, but when it came to the Main shaft which goes through the Washout base (# 52 page 34) and I suppose I should use the "Socket Collar Screw" and the "M2.5 Nut" to fasten it through that plastic piece (through the hole). But for some reason the screw seems to be too long for that piece, you could easily see that on both sides you have piece of the screw hanging out.
I have not put the nut on it yet (just loosely to take a photo) but if you look at the phot you’ll see what I mean, so please let me know if this the way it should be or I am doing something wrong!!

Thanks,

Mine was exactly same......I used it. The manual specifies 5x19mm. That is what it measures.:thumbup:

Thanks Snoopy6,
So, it has about atleast 3-4 mm out on the nut side, not counting the depth of the nut ?

Looks like 3mm to me.
