450 pro and SE use same spindle?

[burton8012]

does the t-rex 450 pro v3 use the same spindle shaft as the V2 SE cause i have many SEv2 spindle shafts laying around and was wondering if they would work?

No.
The v2 spindle is shorter.

The pro/sport and v3 upgrade head block use a longer one.

I still use it, but you have to fill in the gap with washers or something.. I'm currently flying with that setup too. no bid deal

Fill in what gap with washers? If using the V2 on a pro headblock...you'd need longer bolts. NOT a good idea. There's a big risk the bolts would fail.

If using the pro spindle on a V2 headblock......you'd either shim in between the grips and headblock or the spindle bolts and the thrust bearings. Hmmmm....... Even then.....isn't the outer race of the thrust bearings shouldered onto the spindle?


Got pics or details you could share with this setup?
