Forget bushings. . BEARINGS ARE BETTER AND SMOOTHER

[RabbitDFFD]

So I've been on this adventure of rebuilding a couple used and discontinued 450 helis. One is an eRazor 450, other is a Helimax MX450 RS. Regardless of what moving parts I've been dealing with, one thing has been uniform . . . stick or sloppy bushings. . . I have since rebuilt both my flybar heads using all bearings. wasn't easy to figure out at first, but fasteddy has an amazing assortment of bearings for anything RC. all you need is a reliable set of calipers to measure the ID, OD, and width you need. I found using a narrower bearing is fine when it's spaced properly for shaft support, or double stack bearings in blade grips, either way. . I have absolutely no slop and amazingly smooth linkages on my cheap helis. throw away those bushing and o-rings if you want true directional pivots and control. with the speeds and responsiveness of today's helicopters and other RC vehicles, this upgrade can't be beat.

Interesting...

Which bushings are you replacing with bearings in your FB heads?
Pix would be nice, we like pix!

hmmmm might give this a shot on my 450 DFC pro just had to order a replacement set of dampers as it was getting a bit loosey goosey..

i tried lynx dampers on my 250 which are plastic, was horrible heli just shook in the wind and bounced on cyclic stops.

Thats my only worry is that it would make the head so rigid it would cause problems.
