New metal main gear creates static

[strokermtr]

Yes metal main does create more static and is much louder.

Now how to deal deal with the static.

I put 6 flights on mine yesterday and it doesn't sound much louder than before. Did you grease it?

[marksmann]

Been flying mine and doesnt sound any different. I did shop around and really thought about what type of lube i wanted. I ended up going with grease this time instead of wax lube. This grease that im using makes no mess.....less mess than the wax and the wax made almost no mess whatsoever. Read the back of the label and see if you can spot what got my attention. I dont have enough flights yet to have a wear report. All i can say is there is no mess at all.

Bingo. I used a small paintbrush to apply a light coating....nothing flung off.

Try flow synthetic grease was used as suggested, is there a static mod that can be done, not worried about the mess of grease.

How do you know its creating static?

[strokermtr]

V bar log, data checksum error.

[504Rone]

That's not always caused by static.

Are you running sats ? Or sbus ?

Can be from motor or also power supply issues (use a buffer pack)

[strokermtr]

Sats, never had a problem with this until the new main gear was put on, checksum was always related stactic in other heli.
