PROTOS 500 Tail Pulley Parts

[ben_beyer]

I had a bearing for the tail seize on my PROTOS 500 this past weekend. I need to replace the tail pulley since the pin destroyed the part of the pulley it sits in.

What are the correct parts I need to fix it?

Disregard, I got the parts figured out. Just had to find some pics of the upgraded tail pulley.

You went for the metal upgrade part I suppose?
If not do it. That plastic pulley is crap. I had a very interesting landing because of the pin freewheeling it's way through that plastic pulley.

The metal part is solid and as it should be.

Such a good helicopter - such a crappy tail. I start rambling again...

Yep. The pin stripped out my plastic so I went with the aluminum one.

There's not too much information on it so I was just wanting to make sure I got the correct parts.

Well there are different ones for different tail speeds. You want the 18t one if you swing big blades.

Mine isn't stretch yet so I just got the 20 tooth one.
