Default Help on T-rex 500 L Dominator

I ordered a TREX 500 L Dominator and started to build it. I am new to the hobby. Before that I ordered a TREX 450 Plus BTF. So I decided move up by building my own so I can fix it if something happen.

I built the tail portion and noticed my kit didn't come with a clear plastic tube to aide in inserting the torque tube into its position inside the tail boom.

I have reviewed numerous videos on Youtube to aide in the building process. So here is my question. Does any one out there order the same kit and does the clear plastic tube come with it. If not, by CA the bearing to the torque tube and placed the rubber bearing holder over it as indicated in the manual would it work. Thanks for any advise on this. From Fresno, Ca.

Hi, glue the bearing to torque tube with a tiny amount of ca is the way to do it.

Just finished my build. Torque tube didn't come with a clear tube... Instructions say to spray some lube in the tube and the rubber guide will slip in. I ended up replacing my boom and torque tube after a tip over (never change your flybarless unit 180 degrees and not go through setup again beastx!).
Anyway, no clear tube in my kit...

Just apply some of the clear grease they send in the kit to the rubber grommet on bearing and some grease in the boom and inset it
Just be careful you don't push the grommet of the bearing

You can use a 450 boom if you have a spare one. I use 'Liquid Wrench' silicone spray. Spray it into the boom, and coat the grommet in the stuff, and then your TT with bearing and grommet will slip right into place!
