[QUOTE="stokke, post: 26668, member: 639"] Thanks Guys :D Still a way to go though. ________________________________ Started putting the head together. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/22.10.12/P1010367.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/22.10.12/P1010368.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/22.10.12/P1010369.JPG[/IMG] These balls can be mounted in the inner holes if I'll want more pitch range at a later time. When mounted in the outer holes they should give about 12 deg collective.

[IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/22.10.12/P1010381.JPG[/IMG] Also, the thrust bearings does not have any markings to separate inner and outer parts.
