Micro Time to revamp The Super Bad Boca Beaings 130x

[heli-maniac]

Going to take it all apart and rebuild it on a new rakon frame
Seeing how the Xtreme frame is split in a few places from the crash
Plus the Xtreme frame is a pain to work on anything I like the frame but if you have to do any work on it its a pain in the BUTT

Whats the plan
new frame
New servos most likely Rotary servos that will work on the 3n1
Move all the good Boca bearings over to the new frame
New landing gear seeing how the ones on the Xtreme frame are C/Aed to the frame
and new main and tail blades

Damn! I wouldn't expect a CF frame to break on a 130x. I thought about buying one but just never fly my 130x so I didn't.

It was more the plastic that held it together that broke

started the reassemble . Just need the servos and they are on the way
I went with the New Microheli servos that just came out 30.00 cheaper than the Hitecs and they plug strait to the 3n1

Jesse what's the frame part number and servos part numbers as well, really interested in this build,

 

[heli-maniac]

The Rakon frame is 130x-454
and the servos are 2 Digital Ultra-Micro Precision Servos and 1 Reversed Servo Set, MICROHELI
I should have my servos by the week end to see how they mount up on the Rakon frame

 

[Slobberdog]

Thanks Jesse for the info, be nice and interesting to see how those servos behave and work with the 3in1 and the frame

 

[heli-maniac]

Well if they work anything close to my Hitecs in the 150x then it should be a sweet bird to fly
What i like is no more junky stock servos

 

[heli-maniac]

Just checked the tracking on the servos and they are out for delivery

Dude that's looking nice and seems to be quick on the reactions, how do those servos feel.

They are faster than the stock servos for sure will know for sure when i get it out side

 

[Slobberdog]

It is very tempting to get that setup, looks really good, and I am so fed up with the cleaning of the stock items, plus sick of the tail boom not sticking well in the Xtreme frame as I can't tighten it enough as fear of stopping the threads,

 

[heli-maniac]

The Rakon frame has a screw to help lock the boom in
Was looking at and im going to have to do some work on it to get the links a little more strait up and down shouldnt be much to do but needs done

 

[EyeStation]

That's a smooth 130x you got there Jesse. Me likey.

 

[heli-maniac]

thanks EyeStation hope to get to fly it out side before the weather gets bad again this weekend

 

[heli-maniac]

Got home with Just enough time to get in one flight on it WOW this is not the same 130x as it was before
The little woman is at work so no one to video
It is smooth and quick in all its transitions no lag you move a stick and it goes
Now to start tweaking on it this thing is Awesome so far
will have to play with the tail gain to see if I can get the small wag to go away

Now is this w a stock 3n1 or a beef'd up ESC on the board?
