This is awesome, thank you Diego and Dima for putting this together! I'm still chasing vibration issues on my Specter nitro and I'm going to redo the engine and clutch assembly using this video...

[@mikejordan2741]

Video quality of the maiden was outstanding

[@Sage4859]

Great video Diego. Keep nitro heli alive !

[@Diego3dm]

Thanks Peter

[@calank923]

Assembled mine today. Had an issue though they sent my 3rd bearing block with 8 3x20mm screws rather than 6 3x16 and 2 3x20. Gotta dig around and hope I have some in my parts bin or have to call heli direct and hope they send me some.

[@nycatt]

Great video guys. It that a new clutch? I just ordered a new one from Heli Direct and it looks like nothing like that one.

[@Diego3dm]

That's the old clutch, I believe the new ones are silver

[@nycatt]

So the one I just received from Heli Direct is black. Did they send me the old clutch.

[@seanoc3533]

@@Diego3dm same here. I have an older kit and it was black and I recently ordered another clutch it also came in black. Chasing a vibration issue that appears to be in the clutch stack/ engine shaft

[@Diego3dm]

​@nycatt just confirmed with xl , both clutches ,silver and black are identical, no difference other than the color

[@Diego3dm]

​@@seanoc3533is your fuel forming in the tank ?

[@luisrios6686]

​ @Diego3dm I've also been chasing vibes with a considerable amount of foaming in the tank. Clutch stack has been balanced but I continue to chase vibes. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

[@Diego3dm]

Which main hub do you have on your heli, the one with a hole on the top ?
Is the engine fully broken in ?

[@luisrios6686]

@@Diego3dm My hub doesn't have the hole on top. Engine was reused from a previous nitro heli and worked fine. Thanks for your response.

[@Diego3dm]

@luisrios6686 ok , with the old hub, I would dial indicate the head , make sure it is 100% straight .
Some guys, what they do is static tracking. The new hub with the hole on the top are 100%
Also, check if you have any wobbles on the swashplate.
Spool the heli without blades and look at the antirotation pin . Should not move at all

[@alwaysflying6540]

Thats a big rx batt. Does it need the added weight?

[@seanoc3533]

I run the same battery. It doesn’t need the extra weight but it doesn’t hurt this heli either, nice to charge less often

[@Diego3dm]

I run 5000mah cause I fly most of the time with no canopy
I run 3600mah with canopy

[@alwaysflying6540]

@@Diego3dm whaaaaaaaaat that canopy is so sexy tho!

[@Diego3dm]

​@@alwaysflying6540super nice canopy
