hey guys, the tail assembly on the V2 is giving me a problem...the little roller thats on top that pushes down on the belt keeps sliding to the right and making my belt mess up. any1 else experience this problem? i have to keep pushing it back in the middle where its suppost to be.

You must be joking! This little roller has been the subject of many a thread around here!

Seriously, you should take your tail assembly apart and remove the roller. You might want to replace your belt as well...

Do a search on your problem. You will be surprised at how many threads you will find!

really.....this little roller causing so many problem? what is its purpose anyways, other than just to be there i dont see how it effects anything....ill def take it off before i fly again.

Bry is right. Most people recommend removing the idler on the tail. I still fly with mine and it has not caused me any problems. However, after hearing of all the stories of shreded belts I am going to remove mine the next time I change my belt. I also use a Gates belt from Tech Model Products and have had much more luck with it than the stock Align belt.

Good Luck and have fun!

I am running a Gates belt as well, FYI.

I have always flown with the rollerskate. No problems. If it works, don't fix it. Finless Bob flys without it.

Yeah, when I first read about the thing, I decided that I wasn't going to take aparrt my tail JUST to remove the roller. However, I bent a tail rotor shaft the other day and removed it then.

It sounds like his is causing problems, though and should probably be removed.

well i just removed it...but not in time i guess...the belt is already started to fray, but im just going to fly with it until i order a new belt...if i crash i crash, havnt even crashed it yet and ive replaced the belt twice, kinda sad i crashed my falcon 6-7 times and it still has the stock drive shaft in it.
