Default RE: Bdavison's E-flite Blade Assembly


ORIGINAL: fly ride

I have the blade grips with the 2 ball bearings and a brass tube and I assumed I had the 2 bb grips but when I went to the lhs to get the 3bb grips I looked and the package said 3 bb but had the same setup as mine 2bb and brass tube then the other option was a pack of blade grips just had brass bushings.Am I crazy or where is the third bb or did the store mark the package wrong? Do I have the 2 or the 3 bb grips (I would assume only 2)? Also where can I see a pic of the 2 or the 3 bb grips so that I can identify what I have?
fly ride,

I had the same problem. I ordered the 3BB kit from horizon hobby, and it never included the third bearing. The difference between the 2BB grip and the 3BB grip is that the 3bb grip has a deeper indentation to be able to receive the third bearing. Since they now have 3 bearings the shorter brass tube is now needed. You need to buy 2 extra bearings. When I contacted Horizon Hobby about this they waived the shipping charges, buy I still had to buy the 2 bearings. This is an update from the 2 BB grips and I thought they should have comped the bearings also, but no luck. Jerry
