Mick’s Hpi 5t General Lee rebuild

If anyone is on the fence about loctite, this stuff is legit. Anything metal to metal use it.

It's just rebranded loctite.

 

[Mick Boomer]

I have this too. I learn from experience. I build 700 size 3d helicopters as well. Both of what im showing is top notch loctite. Rebagged or not im experienced

So that makes you an expert on rebranded loctite, and one brand of name brand loctite?

 

[Mick Boomer]

You betcha. You ever seen or flown a 700 class gasser 3d machine? They can literally decapitate you. So yeah think I know my loctite. Sensing a bit of assholeness here
With all that said, i love you sean

 

[RcJunkie13]

loctite is loctite for the most part

 

[Mick Boomer]

freaking legit
I actually am scared for my yard

 

[Bizzer]

ALX spikes?

 

[Mick Boomer]

Brp superspikes

Watch this then ask me again what loctite I trust…This is not me but my other rigs I have. Hundreds of screws and if one fails or comes loose your either out 3 grand or worse.

 

[RcJunkie13]

what ever happened to the orange loctite?

 

[Mick Boomer]

Orange loctite is for 1/4-1” sized bolts

That is wild! Love watching the 3D helo stuff. With the level of the learning curve and cost of a crash I think I’ll just watch. I do appreciate the what goes into it though.

No, i had a 450class and recently got some air time with a drone at work. Not really into flight. Cost too much when you screw up. But I did enjoy the drone, was kinda surprised the camera guy let me fly it and i didnt catch any crap from ny manager.
No, I don't care what rebranded loctite you trust, nor would I reccomend a rebranded loctite either. You have no idea what specific compound it is, or even what company makes it. It's blue loctite that Taylor rc sells, so it's good. Sorry That's not much to put faith in. There's are several "blue" loctite compounds, and several companies that make their own version of said compounds as well. You never know what your getting with a rebranded product. That's nearly 20 years of heavy equipment, machine shop, and now roller coaster mechanic speaking.

I dig these kraken arms.

 

[Mick Boomer]

Should do work.

 

[Clubin]

How is your weather? Snow here. Rc season now includes snow bashing. Is that the kraken wide arms?
I put the bb expended ones in my 5t. Quality looks top notch.

 

[Mick Boomer]

No snow here. Just mud. Perfect time to build. Yes kraken extended arms. Had to dremel the ends of the arms a bit for the flm ball joints to except the xxx steering knuckles for near zero camber.

 

[Clubin]

Don’t the flm front upper have an angle in them?

Front ball end kit.
I bought a set but haven’t installed them yet.

 

[Mick Boomer]

Yes but they don’t 100% agree with the xxx bubs I think.
However the flm ball joints do not bottom out in the kraken arms without slight dremeling.
The xxx knuckles may be my certain issue but the flm balljoints are 2mm shorter than stock so .

 

[Clubin]

Which shocks are you going to run?
