450 Align dampener for HobbyKing 450 Pro V2 TT FBL

[rjeeves33]

hi

one someone would happen to know the align part number for the head dampeners from this heli

HK-450TT PRO V2 Flybarless 3D Torque-Tube Helicopter Kit (Align T-Rex Compat.)

Have watched Tony's video and replaced as many align parts as possible as he suggests. I then realised I had missed out the dampeners and not sure of the part number. Would be very grateful if anyone can assist

Thank you

Rob

I'm not quite sure where "rjeeves33" is...

Here is the 450 DFC dampers - Align 450DFC Head Damper Set (4) [AGNH45167] | RC Helicopters - A Main Hobbies

Here is the SE V2 80º dampers - Align V2 New Damper Rubber/Black 80° [AGNHS1291] | RC Helicopters - A Main Hobbies

Here are the softest dampers from Align. Not suggested - Align Damper Rubber Set [AGNHS1266] | RC Helicopters - A Main Hobbies

I like the kbdd orange dampeners. I got mine from a main hobbies. Not to costly and they will give you better head stability.

They are a little harder than the stock ones and will hold up better.

Never mind those are for fly bared. But still take a look at the kbdd brand also.

hi Tony, you don't know where rjeeves33 is? That's my mistake using a form filler and not checking what it entered.

Thanks for the information. So to confirm I should be using the DFC dampers? So they will fit in the FBL head okay? Thanks for your help and thanks for making the video on what to replace on the clones. While ago I tried to make a 250 clone (HK) and didn't replace any parts and it was the worst failure ever.

 

[murankar]

That tends to happen more times than not with those. The 250 size is by far the worst of them.

The issue you are going to have with the clone head (I had this issue with teh clone in the video) is the hole in the head for the dampers is just slightly smaller than the Align head. I'm guessing so they can compress that crap they call dampers a little more to hold the blades straight. You will have to lightly sand the new dampers to get them to fit. Don't force them or they will clamp too tight on the feathering shaft. My advice is to just purchase an Align DFC head and Align DFC swash. My stock clone swash had a LOT of play in it. Yours probably does too.

 

[rjeeves33]

Yes, I was just hoping to tak the dampeners on my existing align order. I am still a beginner and this heli will only be for forward flight and the occasional loop at this stage. I think I will use the crap clone head and see how the blade tracking is. If it is reasonable I will use it until the inevitable crash then purchase the align DFC head & swash.

Actually Tony can just check that I have ordered the correct feathering shaft for the clone head? 450V2 Feathering Shaft HS1251 ? Thank you

YOu need this one. Align Feathering Shaft Set (2) [AGNH45021A] | RC Helicopters - A Main Hobbies

There is another one that is not ground down on the ends, but you will have to replace the thrust bearings if you go to that one. Align is making the change now and trying to sell out of the ones that are ground down. So those that I linked above will soon go away.

Thanks very much for your help Tony
