Does anyone know where to get this thrust bearing? Im having trouble finding it. Have one ordered with Gerd but have heard he is on vacation and Choppershots is waiting on him to get back to restock theirs. FX Aeromodels hasnt returned my email X2. Only reason Im in a rush is a couple of upcoming jobs.

Found this on FX's site. Their part numbers are different but it ends in 62 and is a thrust bearing. Anyone know if its is the same?

J0062 - Axle Bearing B4

Thanks,
Jamie

Well, this was my first Joker build. Did good aside from putting all the bearings into the tailblade grips and thinking that the screw slide into the grips to secure them on the hub. Remember me asking you about that last night?lol

Finally realized that they don't go through the grips, they screw on last before sliding the grips on. My biggest enemy in this hobby is removing bearings. I did the whole "oven" thing for a couple of hours. Heating, tapping, cooling, heating etc.... Got them to the end of the grips but both collars got wedged. This required me to have to punch them out which destroyed my thrust bearings.

There ya go!

Rael got in touch and said they are the right ones so..... just a minor hiccup.
