What do u guys use to glue tail rod to balllink?

I roughen the rod surface with sandpaper and CA it with the ball end adaptor, and then crimp down hard on the adaptor where the rod is inside.

what batteries and ESC are u planning to run???

[CKS]

Thanks for the tips!

Intent to use EVO20 (3s2p) and TP2100 (3s2p)

Questions...
Is it recommended to use the same servo horn for all the 4 servos?
And since most of the parts are metal, should we apply threadlock to all the joints?

Few more completed build pics

[CKS]

what batteries and ESC are u planning to run???

ESC is CC45, Motor A30-10L with 18T pinion, aiming to get 1700HS with this setup.

Wish me luck!

[ethinger]

yeah... 1700 hs sounds low for that heli...
is the CC45 normal or HV?

[CKS]

Read from some manual that EP8 flies well on 1700 HS, unlike smaller heli which requires 2200 and above.

Non HV ESC, will do some test soon to test if the ESC is enu

[ethinger]

ahh i c...
am waiting for my Hv45

[CKS]

what kindof setup are u gonna use CC HV45 on?

[genexis]

you probably need a HV45. if you cannot get it anywhere, let me know, i have a NIP one.
