Been looking into this for a while,
The original tail push rod is 1.3mm wire, that is pretty flexible, and tbh rattles well on the heli,
So I had seen a few people state side have done it already but was having some trouble getting good carbon tube, with a centre hole,
Went to my LHS yesterday and managed to pick up some 3mm OD tube with 1.5mm ID, all I could find on the internet was 3x2 out x in, so I picked that up, as I did not want to cut up my original as I want it as a spare I had to pick up a couple of links, low and behold they had zero 250 links in stock, after searching through their spares I found a couple of blade links for the 200srx that was the same diameter and all thread,
Picked up some epoxy, and home to do the job,
Cut to length and epoxied the ends in, the full thread of the rods will help with bonding I hope,
Original rod was 2.4g and I thought the new rod would top this a little but in the end came in at 2g dead, just tried it and the high pitched buzz from the original is gone and the carbon rod has zero flex, next to fly it, but will have to wait till later for that,
