| ok..lets just see....Plastic head...it won't last forever...will get loose, nature of the beast..
65's on a King? Man, that's like putting a V-12 in a VW, I woulda (and did) go with something with closer dims to the originals..I use 3114's. Makes fitting the link mod so much easier...but anyways, those should be ok.
Ditch the plastic blades. They are junk.
Turnbuckles don't help tracking???...see comment immediately above, that's most likely your culprit, not the turnbuckles. I can get mine to track to about half a blade. If you had the CNC head you could most likely get them dead on and stay there...but again plastic head..it will hold...for awhile.
Batwing AND the 43t? Most of us run one or the other here. Personal batwing fan here, if you're concerned about blade clearance to the ground, swap out the vertical fin with a T-Recks one. The fin hits the gound before the blade will. This is the only way to go IMHO.
CC 25? With the HDX 3800 you should be in the 30A range, that's why you're seeing the heat issues. Might want to go up a level. I use a Dynam 30A. The BEC will help, but I run a BEC with mine anyways.
401 on a HBK? Man....you are a nut..or a nut with money. Again the V-12 comment applies here as well. I run a 240 and that's expensive enough.
OK I'm done "commenting", but if you're running with a basic T-Recks setup, c'mon face it you are, you should realize the HBK isn't a T-Recks. If you're looking for Align performace from stock plastics it just won't happen. You will get lucky sometimes, but it won't last, not with the plastics. If you have this much money wrapped up in her, go with a CNC head and swash setup, this may do justice to your setup. The HBK is smaller, therefore, it's always gonna be more "squirelly" than a 450. That's just physics, we can't change it much. Don't take this the wrong way, you have reported/told about some issues on yor blade/swash tilt, ect. earlier,and that is a concern. I'm just trying to let you know now that as much as you do to the HBK platform (in its current state), it will never be a Recks. There are others here that have and still are (me included) trying to squeeze as much out of the platform, but it is still and always be a HBK. I'll admit it, I wish it was Align, they seem to get things nicer, but the HBK (for what it is) is not a POS by any means....You just have to realize it is what it is....
Again, this was not a "poke" or a "slam" at you, please don't take it that way.
Best Regards,
