Default KDE Direct's Thrust Bearings Kits for 700 and 600N

OK this review was some time in the making due to.... Well ummmm..... too many crashes? You'll see. Fireup had some bad luck I must say

Anyway here is some reviewage of KDE Direct's new main shaft thrust bearing blocks for the Trex 600N and 700. Have to say they sure are nice but not quite Kevin proof! I had some other guys test these this time for me to get more than just my opinion. It's good bling if you ask me and YES the thrust bearings do in fact make the main radial bearings last longer! It's a fact. Heck this is nothing new by the way Helis like Miniature Aircraft have been using thrust bearings like this for a long time.

Anyway here is a fun little review video!

Enjoy,
Bob

I have tried that! Seems when I am filming him he doesn't crash! Took me 2 years to get a video of him actually crashing.....

I didn't actually watch the video and initially misinterpreted the product as an add-on thrust bearing rather than a full bearing block replacement. I was going to ask whether it would work on a Knight 3D, but obviously not. Now, if KDE would release a set for the Knight, I'd seriously consider getting it.

BOB - that video was hilarious! Thanks again for reviewing the KDE Direct products and my wife and I were cracking up laughing towards the end. Make sure and tell Kevin we greatly appreciate the crash testing he is doing for our R&D work - I can't get my friends to match his level of committment! Everytime I ask them for crash testing, they respond back asking for my credit card number...lol

I've updated the website with links to the installation diagrams and review videos at:

http://www.kdedirect.com/InstallationDiagrams.html
http://www.kdedirect.com/VideoReviews.html

All the links can also be found on each product page, which includes more specifications and details for the design. I'll update the website tonight with this new video and some other links.

Once again - thanks Finless for all the great work!

I got the bearing block upgrade for the T-REX 600E, It is very well made and adds strength to the frames.
Thanks
