no room for blade washers on T-rex 600

[trondhindenes]

hi,
I just bought some new SAB blades. As I was installing them, i noticed that the old ones are 10mm thick, while the new ones are 11. Am I okay running without the washer over/under the blade inside the blade grip, or will this cause any problems?

Thanks

Put a washer under the blade and you should be fine. I've always run just 1 spacer for each blade and haven't had an issue.

I run the Align Super Pro 3D blades and there is no room for washers. I've been flying them all last season and this season without washers without any issues. I fly smooth 3D mixed with a couple hard maneuvers, T-Rex 600, OS55, 2200 head speed.

I don't know if its ok or not, just adding I've had no issues. If its not, I'd love to find out (subscribed) and find a solution for fitting the washers.

They're only needed to fill up space. If there's no space to fill, there's no reason to use them, or worry about it

Yes, but if you are using the blade shims you want one on top and on bottom so they're even with the spindle bolt. Run out to lowes or home depot and find some shims that will allow symmetrical blade placement.
