ar7200 new install, vibration issues

[rcflier1]

I have 4 of these and never had this issue. ttx50 with redline 56. 1, 2, or 3 layers of 3 m tape i get vibration jiggling of mostly the tail. it doesn't matter weather the blades are turning or not. ideling or hovering same issue. gain makes no difference. tried a secong ar7200, same thing. all my other helis just use 1 layer of tape.

Try using the Spektrum foam tape that Blade used for all of its helis using the AR7200BX. I've never gone wrong using that tape on any of the birds in my fleet.

3M clear 4910? , 2 layers and strap over the BX not to tight.
The newest firmware is more resistant to vibrations.
Rough running motor? Bearings?

I think bad007 meant 4010 which is the 3M clear tape. 4011 is the normal thin 3M foam tape. I really like the 4010, I use it for sticking anything to my my heli. It sticks well but you can peel it away if you want to, and it doesn't leave any obvious residue.

motor and heli are brand new. 2 tanks thru only

7200 is also new, never flown

so I tried the spectrum foam tape, no change. that I tried a piece of Velcro strap to tie it down and 90 % of the jitters are gone. I always have run os or ys engines. is the issue the tt engine? if only the engine and clutch are turning it has to be the issue?? will it get better when the engine breaks in?tried a quick hover and blade tracking is right on.

Yup 4010 clear, jell like tape. seams to work better with nitro. Walmart in my town used to sell it but no more.The spek foam is a bit to stiff and nitro motors transmit vibes right through it. The strap stops the jell-o shake effect from having 2 or even 3 layers

Try Kyosho Zeal gel tape. That stuff will stop any vibes. Even when bearings were squealing like stuck pigs on my smaller birds, they just kept flying.
