AAV200560 Torque Tube Crash Kit

[Fixation]

I had my first crash with my Aurora, minor crash (boom broke) but I was wondering what comes in the crash kit... I can't find what is in the kit online and was wondering if any of you knew.
Thanks

Hi Fixation

I also just had my first crash, so I can tell you:

AV00-200-560 is a complete torque tube assembly with ends and bearings:

AV00-200-682
Is the tube alone. - http://www.revolutionmodels.co.uk/ac...nt_Spares.html
You then need to add:

AV00-200-746 : Torque Tube end Connector (*2)
AV00-200-747 : Torque Tube Connector center Plug (*2)
AV00-200-748 : Torque Tube bearing Inner Race Liner (1) (Reference #2725) (*2)
AV00-200-749 : Torque Tube bearing Outer Race Liner (1) (*2)
AV00-200- 214 Bearings (*2)
M3x5 (4) AV00-100-358 (*4)

I am not sure if only the complete Crash kit will be available in the future.

read up on the arrow shaft mods you can do.
IMHO they are superior to the stock Avant shaft, a bit stiffer so less chance of whipping the torque tube in flight. Yet still should give in crashes.

$55 for a dozen Easton shafts and 24 aluminum inserts. re-use the bearings, holders and end pieces.

I might pick up a couple extra ends and bearings etc...

Also John Benario makes a kit that helps align the bearings for 0 runout. I need to cut a check to him.... Been meaning to do it, as I hear it makes the TT very smooth etc...

Found some of the arrow posts already
