What did you do to your jimny today?

Nipped out tonight and loosened all the front radius arm bolts, luckily they all came loose but had borrowed my dad's long breaker bar which I'm sure helped,

Now nice and loose for replacing the standard arms for 3" castor corrected ones,

Will find out tomorrow. Just been to Homebase to get some 12mm dowel rod :woohoo:

Well I did not quite work. I got the dowelling in and the spacers fitted, and the guard slide one and lined up a treat.

But when I started to knock the bolt through and the dowel out, the stress on the radius arm caused the hole to come out of line. I think its where both the bolt and dowel were partially in, so not a single solid piece throughout holding it all together.

But I did manage to get one guard lined up pretty quickly after that, but I still can't get the bolt all the way through. I have bought a ratchet strap from 'Frauds so I can bring it all in line tomorrow with that and get these fitted.

Atleast your getting there buddy, brute force a flat screw driver and alot of f ing and blinding done it for me

Great little thing has taken some bashing... thanks Russ and also thanks for sorting out all my Christmas shopping in one visit

You might like this then. Not co-axial and it is fixed pitch but for indoor flying in the house it is unbeatable.

Yes I have one and it flies wonderfully. It flies more a bit more like a plank (which I don't fly lol) being fixed pitch. No 3D though!! I must have had about 6 palm sized helis over the years, all CP, the last was a Blade MCPX and it was hard work. This is a dream by comparison and almost unbreakable. For the money it is incredible value too. It is fixed pitch but who cares - it is great. There is a bloke selling them on eBay for 15 notes but you need a radio as his are BNF. I got a FS-TH9XB to use with it and with the 912 and 913 (still FPs) that I have for backyard use but they are sluggish compared to say a Mini Titan. Peeps throw bigger motors into the 913 but I prefer to get the CPs out if I want whoosh like performance.
