Will this Trex setup be OK?
Does this look like it will be a glitch problem? Will the zip ties be ok to secure the servos. They are good and solid and
don't wiggle around. I think I read somewhere that the ESC wired should be seperated from the servo wires. Mine are bundled together. Thanks.

I think you'd be better off putting the ESC on the side of the heli for better cooling and I'd put the rx inside the frame for protection. Why would you want to zip tie the servos and not screw them in???

If you are going to keep your rx where it is, I would suggest you putting tape over the crystal to prevent it from falling off during flight.

I agree with Norrmannen. Use screws to mount your servos. ANY possibility of slop must be taken care of, or you will have poor performance. The zip ties may or may not stay tight. I don't know. I DO know that screws will stay tight.

Yeah, I'm going to drill holes for screws. The original holes don't line up with the HS56's. I though zip ties were a good solution yesterday until everyone said to drill holes.

RE: Will this Trex setup be OK?
i must reiterate:
TAPE or GLUE that crystal to the RX!!!!!!! it fell out on me twice. the 2nd time wouldve been a major crash if i didnt go catch it. luckily i only wrecked the mainblades. if i was flying any farther or higher my heli wouldve flew a mile until the battery ran out and i wouldnt have a heli anymore lol.
