Trex V2 head on Mini-Titan

[flameangel]

I have ordered a copterX Trex V2 head from overseas. I am thinking of replacing the entire metal head (from swash to blade grip) of Mini-Titan with a complete trex V2 head but i realise the Trex swash plate is different from the MT swash plate.

How do i go about it?

I just wanted to do the same thing a month ago but decided to abandon that project. You will need to solder a new "stabilizing rod" on the opposite side of the swash and remove the one on the ball link.
A little soldering work with some precision i guess.

Either that, buy a metal mini titan swash, remove the ball links, enlarge the holes for Trex size ball links, and tadah!


It seemed like too much work for me, so I canceled my order. haha

It's the anti rotation that should be bothering you right?? Trex share the elevator servo link with the anti rotation while Mini-T swash has a stand alone anti rotation, and both have the elevator place in the opposite direction..

hehe.. That's the beauty of the hobby.. Think Think Think stress

Can use Mini-T swash plate with the V2 head?? or tap a hole and mount the anti rotation pin on the other side of the V2 swash..

Didn't know so lay chey...

Never do my homework properly. There goes my $100

Eh.. $100 bucks.. Just go get a tapping tool from Art friend while there are many more better places to get these, but I know Art friend do sell the tool.. Drill a hole, tap.. then get a spare Trex ball link with the antirotation pin and mount it.. That's it.. You get what you wanted, you save your $100 you learn something..

Here are a few choices that I done before that u can try:
1. Get a brass plate and wrap around the outer swash plate. Tape a hole for the antirotation linkages.
2. Get Honey Bee CP? swash plate. Ball thread size is the same as TRex.
3. Reuse Mini-Titan swash plate with the small balls...but the linkages on top u use TRex.
