I wanted to make a separate thread for the build of my Goblin 570.
Its almost finished now. Just waiting for a 23T pinion to arrive.
Enjoy :)

Canopy is bigger than a Trex 600

I love the packaging. Easy to work through with the manual.

I sanded the frame edges to prevent wire damage.

Cleaned all screws with alcohol and paper towel.

Tail servo mounted

Head assembly

Motor mount. Scorpion 4025 550KV
Drive belt centred on pulley

ESC placement under the battery tray. Bolts were too long, so I ground them flat to the nuts for the canopy to slide on properly.

The tail assembly is unique in having dampers like a head has.
The link are of axis, which confused me. Having checked other peoples, they are the same.

Tail plate and fin.

The BK servos.
I discovered that they don't fit on the frame, with the brass and rubber grommets.
They hit the centre bearing mount. But if you remove the grommets, there is a lot of play in the servo mounts.
I remedied this by placing spacers over the screws made from an old antenna tube.

FBL mount plate.

Rear plate can be used for an RX. I will use it as a place for my Scorpion backup guard.

101_3242.JPG


Head assembly in place. I love the lines to show 0º

101_3249.JPG


Tail assembly attached to boom.
Very easy to put together. Four bolts. Once the belt is on, just pull back the tail to get the tension on the belt and tighten the screws.

Canopy has a nice rubber trim around the edge. I had enough left over to do the motor window as well.

CC BEC PRO under the base plate.

Wiring is all in the back, easy to access. Note the shrink tubing over the tie wraps to avoid damaging the wiring.
The spare servo connector is for the Scorpion BUG.

100_3297.JPG


Had to put some "Align Bling" in somewhere LOL :D
BUG connector in top right corner for easy removal.

100_3301.JPG


BUG in place. This provides 5V to the system in the case of brown outs or BEC failure. This allows you to land safely.

100_3302.JPG


Made my own Y harness to power the IKON with the two BEC leads and the Scorpion BUG.
One BEC lead goes to the Ikon directly, the other one, and the BUG goto the Y lead, then to the Ikon.

Servo wiring.

Blades were perfectly balanced, out of the bag.

I used nonslip mat, under the batteries.

Still waiting for the Pinion. Maiden soon.

WOW I AM IMPRESSED:) that looks very very nice:)

One question, the manual shows a lot of fluid containers and a lot in your build photos. Why so many? and what are they?

Thanks everyone

There are a lot of bottles on my table. I didn't use all of them.
The big one is alcohol for cleaning the screws.
The next two are Blue thread lock.
Super glue next
Light oil for shafts
Green Thread lock for bearings
Red Thread lock (I don't use that)
Thicker oil
Tube of white lithium grease for thrust bearings.

Very nice. Let's see a 600 vs 570 size comparison when done.

Re: Goblin 570 Build thread

Just a bit sad that my canopy is already cracking.
Doesn't seem to matter how careful you are, it still cracks.
