[QUOTE="stokke, post: 28920, member: 639"] My Spektrum AR7200BX. Receiver with built in BeastX flybarless system. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010427.JPG[/IMG] Nice :D [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010428.JPG[/IMG] What's in the box you say? Manual, bind plug and Rx unit. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010429.JPG[/IMG] Got out all my wiring gadgets. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010430.JPG[/IMG] I'm only using this set-up temporarily, as I'm awaiting some more wiring, switch etc... I only need to power up such that I can find the servos center (or 90° as it were). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010431.JPG[/IMG] Fired up straight away! It's also worth mentioning that all the servos, including the Rx will run directly on 2S lipo (7,4V). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010432.JPG[/IMG] It felt kinda good to add this baby to my model list ;) [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010433.JPG[/IMG] Unlike Aligns 3GX, the BeastX needs the Tx to be set up as it was using 1 servo (90° operation). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010434.JPG[/IMG] Mmmmgood. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010435.JPG[/IMG] Also, unlike 3GX - the AR7200BX requires the Gear channel to be used for tail gain. (3GX utilizes the Aux2 channel). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010436.JPG[/IMG] Temporary hook up LOL [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010437.JPG[/IMG] After connecting power the servos were set at center (Tx mid sticks). Then I mounted my servo horns and started to find the best fit for 90°. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010438.JPG[/IMG] I used the etched lines in the servo horns as a visual reference to find my 90°. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010439.JPG[/IMG] As I have been discussing earlier, the provided Savöx horns does not have the required 27mm hole spacing. So I had to take matter into my own hands. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010440.JPG[/IMG] To remember where my holes were going to be drilled, I used a post-it. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010441.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010442.JPG[/IMG] I then found that a 3mm drill bit fits perfectly trough the center hole of the servo horn. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010443.JPG[/IMG] I then drilled the 3mm drill bit into a piece of wood, then disconnected the bit from my drill. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010444.JPG[/IMG] I found one of the multi horns (which does have 27mm spacing). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010445.JPG[/IMG] Put the horn on my "jig". [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010446.JPG[/IMG] Then put my 27mm multi horn on top of that. Used the holes on the multi horn as a "target" - then proceeded to drill through the bottom horn ;) [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010447.JPG[/IMG] And there you have it. Circular horn with correct hole spacing :D [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010448.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010449.JPG[/IMG] Balls mounted (LOL). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010450.JPG[/IMG] Servo horn mounted. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010451.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010452.JPG[/IMG] The provided JR rudder servo horn to the left (which doesn't fit my Savöx servos). The Savöx rudder servo horn to the right - this guy required no modification. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010454.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010455.JPG[/IMG] Rudder servo horn mounted (I broke off one of the horns because I was concerned it would touch the puch rod). [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010456.JPG[/IMG] Then there's the ESC's turn. Castle Phoenix ICE2 120AMP HV ESC - this will pull my 12S batteries and run my motor. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010457.JPG[/IMG] The ESC is a big guy, and it's supposed to sit right next to the motor - which also is a big guy... [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010458.JPG[/IMG] Had to move the ESC mounting bracket. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010459.JPG[/IMG] Added some velcro. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010460.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010461.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010462.JPG[/IMG] TIGHT! [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010463.JPG[/IMG] After some few modifications, I managed to press the ESC as far back as it would go. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010465.JPG[/IMG] With the provided velcro strap. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/21.11.12/P1010466.JPG[/IMG] I'm considering re-doing this, I believe I still can get one or two millimeters on that mount. I'm going to order bullet connectors for the motor wires, and when I get them I'm going to give this mounting another go. [/QUOTE]
