does anyone have any main shafts to get rid of thanks

signal7 · 01-22-2010, 05:32 PM

I have built an HK450, a CopterX 450 and a few Align 450 SE V2's and there was a quality difference in each of them. The HK450's metals were really low grade and stripped easily, the Copter-x were mid-grade, and the Align was clearly the highest of all of them. Best bang-for-the-buck was the CopterX, in my opinion, because at least the quality was decent.

The point is that while they all look alike, the strength of the metals that go into these helis varies greatly. I would bet that's where the manufacturers cut costs and are able to pass on the savings.

I'm with you on that Fatdaddy, I hope the 600 doesn't have weak metals or we may be hearing some horror stories.

Fatdaddy · 01-22-2010, 07:15 PM

I hope we never see anything like is possible as a result a failure!!!!

944, I have some shafts and think I can spare one..Let me check, if not I think I know where we can hook you up...
That is the next thing to have made when there are no more at all. But I think I have a couple..

944own · 01-22-2010, 08:35 PM

I bought a plastic edition and it has not even got here yet this will be my first esmart after having the exi 450 and 250 i think it will be great i always heard the bigger the more stable so right now i really dont know of any parts i need just gonna get ready to get a good stock of parts like i do my other helis this one is coming with some parts but i really would like to have had the all metal head and tail so these items are something i will be looking for soon if i cant find anyone with compete head and tail i will at least like to find blade grips, swash plate and so on but i am really looking forward to flying the esmart and thanks it seems like there is a great bunch of guys here on the forum that will help if i cant find parts. Lets just hope they really start making it again and we wont have this problem

Fatdaddy · 01-22-2010, 08:47 PM

So you don't NEED the shaft to replace one?? With stock this low for everyone, I wouldn't mind helping you out if you were grounded but I'd rather not give up my spares so someone can build up their stock.. Hope you understand..
I'll still look to see where you can get them..

944own · 01-22-2010, 08:53 PM

I understand no problem do the gsmart shafts work for this it looks like pegasus has them

Fatdaddy · 01-22-2010, 09:00 PM

Yes they do!! I just went there to see if he had them and you also can get all the metal head parts..Keep in mind.. The plastic head uses the 5MM feathering shaft and the metal uses the 6MM..The main shaft is slightly different but it will work in fact I think that is what I have in my "E" now!!!
So try Lakeside Helis

944own · 01-22-2010, 09:26 PM

so if mine is the plastic and i want to get a metal center hub and blade grips i need to change the feathering shaft

signal7 · 01-22-2010, 10:56 PM

Yeah, you'll need the larger feathering shaft for the metal blade grips.

Fatdaddy · 01-22-2010, 10:59 PM

That is correct!! However the metal hub is cheap enough and they have it at Lakeside so I would go that way!!

Fatdaddy · 01-22-2010, 11:20 PM

944, also you will hear, on the other forum you go to badmouthing about Lakeside!!
Pay no mind, the site has been updated and should be up to date.If not let me know and I'll take care of what you need. There are lots of sour grapes around..!!

944own · 01-22-2010, 11:48 PM
