Default Ball Link Conversion For Shuttle ZXX??

I have a shuttle zxx and am looking for some upgrades. Does anyone know where I can get a ball link pushrod conversion for it? And how about a one way starter bearing upgrade?

Thanks,
Matt

Default ZXX upgrades???

I am sorry BG, but you cannot have the ZXX version of the Shuttle. The ZXX version already comes with the top start one-way bearing system. To convert to it would cost you well over $100.00 and to upgrade other items (out of the z-bends to ball joints everywhere) maybe another $20.00. etc.etc.

Been there done that. At the end of it, I followed a friends advice (I should have in the first place) and bought a Hawk IV ($220)with the BB upgrade ($22) and now have a heli that flies a lot better then my Shuttle (with more money then that just in upgrades !!!) and costs a lot less to repair when I get disoriented

Default Shuttle

I am 100 % sure that it is A shuttle ZXX. Says so on the box and everything else seems to point that way. The kit is really old and I figured out my problem. I have a stripped set screw and starter socket. (now that I begin to disassemble it). I will probably get new blades for it and the ball links for now. I don't want to buy another chopper until this is totalled. THen it'll be a hawk or raptor. Still deciding which! Still need to find that ball link upgrade though.....
