T-TREX 550X TAIL CONTROL ROD

large_preview_T-REX_550X_MODIFIED_TAIL_C

Modified tail control rod to address a tolerance issue with the stock control rods. These do not bind at all and swing freely with the bolt that attaches it to the blade grip driven all the way home. Please note I have designed this the way it is so it prints with no supports for a nice quality print.

I would suggest printing these in Ninjatek Armadillo Filament

Armadillo filament is a high performing rigid material, providing 90% higher abrasion resistance than nylon materials. Its toughness ratings are superior to commonly used materials, 86 times greater than that of ABS. It is an excellent material to use for bridging, with virtually no warping issues.

Please use at your own risk and understand this is a 3D printed part. You may need to increase the I.D of the blade grip end control rod hole. I just spin a 4mm shaft on a drill to smooth out the hole so it spins freely. These parts work a treat!
