e-E-Flite Blade CP CX 400-3D > Blade 400 3D BLADE 400 CHASSIE BRAKES AT LANDING GEAR 1 TIME FIX

In my local hobby shop i have over 20 people come in to buy a new chassie [main frame] for the Blade 400 all for the same reason the chassie brakes where the landing gear mounts ,
Then i looked at both of mine to see what i could to fix it before mine broke , to late 1 was already broke [the tab the screw gose threw]
So with being a ex rc boater and owning a machine shop i designed a alumunim renforcment that bolts between the landing gear and the chassie and takes 4 extra 440 bolts that fixed the problem forever.
As a test we took the 400 by the tail and hammered the work bench with the landing gear [ bounced like a wiffle bat ]

If anyone is interested i now make them for 4 HOBBY shops, I will be makeing a personal run on thease soon let me know if you need or want one i will sell for the same price that the hobby shops pay [shipped U.S.A. ONLY .
p.s. if your chassie is broke [ and do check ] you do not have to buy a new chassie you use a short 256 bolt in the ones that are broke.

thank you ~~~Rick R === TRICKY RC

There is MUCH easier fix, and if you do this one before the original mounts break it will also save them. Use the inner set of holes on the landing gear and run two longer screws up into the mainframe itself. (careful not to run them into the ESC or any wires. If you really want to be thorough use 2-56 bolts with nuts on the top.)

Doing it this way adds very little weight, and costs next to nothing.

Blade 400 3D BLADE 400 CHASSIE BRAKES AT LANDING

Sounds like a good deal!! These what I did and I'm pretty sure that with that it will be even better!!



Trex450 landing skids!(they seem to be stronger than the stock ones, that's my opinion) But they are mounted on the original spot!!

is not the fall that breaks the helis is the sudden stop

LANDING GEAR

I just tried the trex landing gear today. didn't last 5 minutes. so i switched back to the superskids I had on previously. The skids are a little bent up, but I can slam the throttle down and they hold up great on the concrete! They are a little smaller than the trex skids, so size doesn't matter!!!

I just drill small holes through a stock landing gear and make a smaller tap hole in main body. using longer screws install the landing gears back on.

Blade 400 3D BLADE 400 CHASSIE BRAKES AT LANDING

What I did was use the skids and the pipes too! the part numbers are HS 1144T-00(bump resistance landing skid) and the HS 1261T(Skid Pipe) the difference in the mounting holes is about 1/16 so I drilled on the inside of the original ones, using the blade original screws.
