Ali ... what I did was to run a thread inside the tail boom first (eg. a long flossing thread). If need be, I use a flexible wire to help push the thread through inside the tail boom. Then I tied the ends of the floss together, forming a circular thread. I can then still use the thread to tie the end of the wire and then pull the thread inside the boom. With that, I can easily pull all 3 wires, one by one, inside the boom by using the thread. Not too difficult.
A quick and easy way to tell if a shaft's bent is to slowly roll it across a reasonably flat horizontal surface (A piece of glass, Most mass produced floor tiles, Or even something like a laptop screen if you're careful) while pressing down gently about 1 to 2 centimeters in from one end. The surface doesn't need to be 100% perfectly flat, But the flatter the thing you choose to use is, the more obvious any bend in the shaft will be. You want to see if the other end lifts from the surface at any point while it's being rolled. For extra clarity you can shine a light behind it and see if the thickness of the line of light you can see under the shaft changes. I used to use this method to check if an RC helicopters main shaft was reusable after crashing back in the day. I had an A4 sized piece of 5mm thick black acrylic that I'd stuck to a piece of 20mm MDF just for this purpose. It worked great, And saved me a small fortune on my 450's because I was no longer replacing main shafts just because they MIGHT be bent. I even used this method to satisfactorily straightened a couple of main shafts on those occasions I didn't have anymore spare main shafts on hand. I'd test them, then mark the direction of the bend, Carefully tweak it slightly using a vice (With alloy blocks to protect the shaft) and an 24" (600mm) long bar that I drilled down the end to the same diameter as the shafts, then I'd test it again. If it was OK it would be refitted, If not I'd tweak it again until it WAS OK. Many a summer weekend of flying were saved by doing this when new parts were back ordered. :)
Hi Ali, thanks a lot for the video! May I ask, what is the dimension of the HEX driver which you used for tightening of the small ring on the main shaft? (18:35)
HI alish. I unfortunately found that there is no conical washer (between the rotor head and the Main Blade Clip) as an original spare part for the e160. Do you think the one sold for the xk k130 will work? Thanks in advance
Hey bub great video. I was wondering if you would have any input on why my e160 is not taking off the ground after mid stick it’s at like 3/4 stick be for it lifts off. I have crashed an rebuilt prb 6 times but this time it’s not taking off when it should any idea thanks bud
Check you pitch setup and pitch curves. remove motor cables so motor will not start and set your pitches right. if before same pitch setup has been working fine, that means when you repaired and assembled the main rotor head, you have moved the shaft down or up more than it was supposed to and that disturbed the pitches settings. you need to check your assembly again, connecting rods and their lengths if adjustable etc.
Ali ! I need your help brother. I’m about to buy a precision tork screwdriver kit but I’m in doubt. What’s the tork numbers used in this E160 ? T2, T1 🤷♂️?
Thanks so much for the video, very helpful. I have an E119, I control it really well it is not 3D. I want to move to a 3D helicopter. What do you recommend E160?
Hi Alishan ... I would like to ask what is the type and size of the screw head that you used to screw the ball joint to the swash plate at Minute 18 of the above video. I could not find the right screw type to remove or to screw ba k the ball joint. Is it a 0.9 mm hex screw head? My 0.9mm hex screw head is too loose to unscrew the ball link. Appreciate if you can let me know.
I have had to replace the tail boom and disconnected the wires going into the board. It’s been awhile and cannot remember the order that the red,blue and black wires go into the board. Anyone have a picture or know the order?
Hi. My E160 has a fault that makes my heli go into low voltage cutoff before it should, battery 90% charged. I have replaced the esc and still the same. Could it be a motor fault. Hope you can help.
Update my post. I have found it was my main pcb. The one your servos connect to was faulty. But now I can't switch back into 6g mode from 3g in flight. Does anyone know if I need to program the main board, and if so how?
There are so many E160 videos but this is the ONLY one that tells you properly how you could repair one.... Exactly what I needed
Thank you

after watching your vids i have purchased Eachine E160 and e129.
Enjoy it
Every screwdriver set i ever bought came with free advice.
you can chuck the shaft in a drill and spin it easy to see if bent.
good tip
The best reviewer ever and most amazing person on internet. 😍😍
Thank you so much 😀
@@alishanmao you're the number RC reviewer for me. Also i love your extra vlog and making those amazing things.
Fly on brother.
No threadlock?
So I snapped my tail boom, would it be easier to remove the wires from the tail motor instead of the main body since the only thing broken is the boom
depends how you like it. :)

oh buddy I totally forgot :) getting old
@@alishanmao Getting old? You don´t look like it ;) . And can you take a look please? :) If you still have this heli...
this was sold out long time ago :)

Not that I know of
Ali, what size is the set screw for the main shaft ring collar keeper. Nothing in the helicopter kit will fit this set screw??
Where can I order a rear motor with a cable and three needles?
Hey Ali,
What is the difference btwn JJRC MO3 & Eachine E160 v2 etc???
There are some versions 1 and 2 whats so ever. Could u pls ask and thanks.
eachine just puts their sticker on anything they like. thats the only difference.
Can someone make a Video how to replace the tail Motor

The wires of the tail boom are soldered to the connector not glued? Does it require re-soldering does anyone know?
mine were glued. maybe now eachine changed it?
Just put a new center shaft on my e150 helicopter i crashed it my first flight.
Thank you for the videos on fixing things.👍
always welcome
nice vid
Love from south africa wslm

What kind of bits do you use on the metal ball on the back side of swash plate? Torx T2/3/4 maybe?
Totally forgot bud :) hahaha. that is the reason i got that whole set so i never run out of right bits
@@alishanmao Thanks for you answer :-) I guess I need a bigger tool set ;-)
@@bentslattsveen2208 I just tried it and it’s a Torx T3
My engine is too hot once I land. His equal?Do you have any advice ?

I think is not possible to do it in flight. You need yo land and switch to 6g again. It happened to me and I broke the tail boom
First comment woohoo. So packed with info very good instructions. Cool place man
Glad you liked it!
@@alishanmao I did
ini seperti copy dari align 150 ya boss
Maybe :) not too sure
What size is the Jesus bolt I lost mine and didn’t get one in the replacement screw set
which one bud? can you tell time stamp in video? I can try to find out from eachine if they can shed some light on it
alishanmao 12:30 the bolt that holds the rotor head to the main shaft.
I ordered the replacement screw set and they didn’t have one in it.
Did you find anything on that buddy? I have my e160 ready to go except I can’t find that screw anywhere to order from. Thanks
Sorry buddy, still could not find the right size of the screw. the helicopter is not with me anymore.
alishanmao ok thanks for letting me know 👍
I tail boom broke 😞😞 and I don't have no parts for it and is my first time
you can use same diameter aluminum tube
@@alishanmao where can I order it
