I have an MX400 which I'm working on. I also purchased another one for spare parts. Can't beat the $60.00 price tag. Well today I ordered the CF CCPM Conversion Kit. I want to basically assemble it from the ground up.

My question is... Does anyone have a source for detailed instructions for complete disassembly of the head assembly? I want to take it apart and reassemble it in the CCPM frame making sure what should be loc-tited is and also the experience of doing it will help me in the future. I imagine there will be some instructions with the conversion kit but I don't think it will cover the head in depth.

Thanks in advance,

Lew

I don't know of any. You don't have to disassemble the head to redo the frames, though.

NB, I posted a bunch of pics when I did the CF frames here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=870

I know I don't have to. I wanted to do it to make sure everything was secure and for the experience. I went ahead and removed one of them from the frame already and will experiment with it.

Thanks for the link to the pics.

No prob. By the way, I mentioned in the post I linked that the main bearings in the Boca kit for the MX were the wrong size. Once I emailed them about it, they turned around replacements immediately and updated the kit contents to have the right ones- great company, so don't want to leave the wrong impression.

Osterizer,

Do you have a part number for the Boca bearings and the kit with the red washers? I tried searching Bocas site but came up with nothing on the bearings for the MX400.

Thanks,

Lew

The bearing kit was for the MX450, part number H13-010. I don't know how much overlap there is between it and the 400 for the smaller bearings, I only mentioned it because I had noted the part mismatch in the original post. If you wanted to try it for the MX400, I'd first go over the parts list and make sure how they compared to the parts the heli needs.

The washer kit came from Heli Warehouse (http://www.heliwarehouse.com/proddet...od=PHNX1188RED), part number PHNX1188RED- it's a washers and tubes kit for the TRex 450SE. I didn't use the spacers, just the washers.

Thanks for the info.
