My Posts This: Topic Forum | Well Im back to tinkering again. Ever since I first got the QJ rigid spacers that replace dampers, there has been some play in the grips. I expect some play, as nothing is perfect. But I can pull on the grips and have a 1mm gap either side between the grip and the rigid spacers. Due to this, I can also wiggle the grips up and down, and left to right.
I also have the rigid damper thrust spacers too. All I can tell is that the spindle screw and washer must not be compressing the thrust bearings fully in the grip, like pre-loading a bit.
So Im thinking I need to shorten the spindle to take up this extra play. It wasnt there with the original dampers, but thats normal IMO, as the dampers would compress and expand with movement of the grip. This taking up any minor play.
With the rigid dampers, there is nothing to do this.
Wheres Jimbo!! I know he has these in his heli.
Cheers 
If you bling it, they will come :D |
