Boom Strike on an X-cell pro
 

I was really enjoying flying my x-cell pro heli the other day (still learning but progressing nicely) when I lost the tail rotor. I panicked and set it down hard, and from the tailboom mount aft the heli is toast. I later figured out that the bolts holding the upper main bearing in place vibrated out and caused the tail rotor to bind. Anyhow I am going to put this heli up for a while so I can learn on a cheaper heli. My question is what upgrades would make it a real nice heli in the future. I have the rear servo mount for the tail rotor servo, but I think that is pretty much all that is not stock.

The XL-pro should have most of the higher grade components so you shouldn't need much upgrading. Maybe look into the front tail drive upgrade (MA0832). It's a sturdier design and will hold up to hard flying. The CNC tail rotor gearbox is a nice solid piece too. I have had trouble keeping my tail rotor gears meshed properly in the plastic gearbox.

Oh, and make sure you use threadlock when you put her back together:D.

Ben,


Thanks for the info! I have a big bottle of blue locktite and will make sure all bolts have it on them!
