Hi everybody !

I'm from Switzerland so I hope you will understand my english

My axe 400 tail rotor always blow up !! The tail rotor grips (that attach to the metal hub) always loosened. So I put some thread lock (blue) but now the
screw holding the grip always cut...

That's the eight times it happens... I can't do more than 2 flights until the tail blow up, resulting in a lot of damages...

So I'm bored with this heli.. The parts seem to be of bad plastic quality...

So my question : is it possible to exchange parts from a trex 450 (the parts that fail in my axe 400 -> tail grips, tail pitch slider etc...) ?

Thank you very much for switzerland !!!!

Have you solved it ?

Best regards

No
I don't want to buy the axe 400 tail parts again, I've replaced the tail 4 times no crashes. I might try the blade 400 tail set up.

Hi !

I've changed tail rotor grips...I've bought the trex 450 plastic tail grips and I flew this morning with no problems

The trex 450 part seem to be much stronger than the axe 400 part...

Seems that there should be no more problems in the future.. will see

This bird flies so great with a 401 gyro and digital tail servo...

Regards !

so, wonder if I can change the tail boom and tail rotor all to t-rex. Have you had trouble with that belt bearing yet? located under the canopy.

Ufoman51

you can change only the tail grips (and tail hub that comes pre-assembled with the grips...)

sorry I don't understand what you mean by belt bearing ? Do you mean this ? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVPG8&P=Z

Yes That's It!!! I'm on my third bearing.

Ufoman51

No problem with this bearing...
