When I first built the Trex 700 one of the many issues I found was the main gear moves several mm up and down (in addition to all the meshing issues).
I simply put it down to poor manufacturing tolerance and accepted it, but as it turns out this movement up and down is due to poor assembly of the “main oneway bearing assembly”.
After seeing several gears strip at the field in the weekend, this up and down main gear play was debated and someone (Peter – EMHC) explained how they removed it.
This is just another weak link in the chain that is the Trex700 drive train, which can be completely corrected, this is how.
Bearing Alignment Before Adjustment (NOT flush with the top of bearing housing)
Bearing Alignment After Adjustment (now flush with top of the bearing housing)
Steps to correct bearing alignment:
Gear mesh on the 700 is very important as the main gear has a 0.7 mod (fine gear mesh normally found on 50 size heli’s). In order to mesh the gears correctly you need to adjust the main gear to pinon gear gap and also auto rotation gear to tail gear gap. This can be achieved by grinding down the nubs on the clutch block and plastic tail case (see photos). In addition you will need to replace the screws with standard non-specialty button head screws and use the specialty washers from the Trex 600. This will need to be done for clutch block, plastic tail case and engine blocks. This will give you enough play to adjust the mesh.

What do do with your old Align 2n1 Regulator
…because if the controller ribon breaks the regulator fails off
This creation gives you a glow igniter which is fast to charge, has an auto off, battery status, indicates a when glow power is being supplied and when the circuit is connected. Also it has a standard RC connector for a regulated 6v power supply. In my case it’s handy for powering the bluetooth adapter for my Spartan DS760 gyro, but it could really be used for anything, especially during setup.
