servo ball spacers

[hamstar78]

am i suppoesed to use the little servo ball spacers that come with the kit or , do i not need them? running 610s or are they more for getting the geometry correct if its off

Are you talking about the swash pitch ball spacers? i know some like to run "short" balls on the grip pitch links to increase resolution with Beastx,but pretty sure you need the "long" balls on the servos to have proper geometry from swash to servo horn.

Wow I wrote that and it's hard to understand...

No they r little spacers that look like they go between the ball and servo horn. Yeah in the manual it doesnt say anything about them but in the they were in the ball link bag. 2 small ones and 2 alittle bit bigger, maybe im using them in the wrong spot

[hamstar78]

yeah i figured the 2 longer ones were for the front 2 servos and the shorter one was for the elevator, but im not sure, heres on with and one without, are these what they are for?

I suppose its to get links straight (vertical) to swash.

Im using Align balls, since GAUI ones hit the servo case limiting the total throw on my setup.

I am not at home to look at my bird, but I would use them if it gives me proper geometry on the servos to swash. My guess these are supplied to help with some servo cases being deeper than others.

Yeah ,

U have to mount ur arms on your servos, then link to your swash.

If its not vertical, and kicks out at a angle then u need them. It varies servo to servo.

I just looked at mine. My stock GAUI servos didn't need them. My push rods are perfectly 90 to the swash.
