After the crash I ordered everything we needed to rebuild the 550. I explain in touch on how to glue your torque tube bearings as well as swap the pushrods and ball links to the 550X/700X

Oh man that’s sick!! I love that canopy! I’m debating on building a 500-550 I have two 450s now. But they are the older v2 FBL one is DFC. I can’t wait to see more.

Thank you! I love the canopy too! I would definitely build a 550 over a 500. I love my 500 but the 550 is a great all around size heli and flys amazing!

I bought align 450lp dominator 6s kit that I will be building tomorrow, I like how you route all your wires internally, I will try to do that. Nice 😊 rebuild thank you for all your tips and tricks 🤝

Awesome! You will love that heli! If you look under my 470 build review video I go into detail about how I run the wires. I cut them and short and all of them so they are direct runs right into the FBL. I run the ESC wire in between the motor and frame and around the bearing blocks. I also explain it in the 470LP rebuild video. I hope that helps you! Thanks for watching!

The 470 is actually an updated version from the 450l , sure thing will be watching that vid before I start my build

Yes it is, they did a lot of changes and made everything bigger and stronger. I like it much better. It’s a strong heli too! My buddy slammed his 470 in and it was under $50 and back flying. Held up really well.

Man i know this is over a year old but i crashed my 550L and freaking PARTS.... Is there a list ANYWHERE that shows interchangeable parts ? I stretched it to a 600 because there are more parts for 600. I got lucky ordering parts and it worked except for the grip arms that connect to swash. About 2 mil difference and caused me a headache!!

How are the drive gears for the torque tube replaced inside the heli? Do the frames have to be split?
@westhobbiesrc80512 жыл бұрын
You have to remove the boom block. The whole boom block will pull out and then you can separate the block in half to replace the gears.

@@westhobbiesrc8051 love you man! Thank you very much. So the boom block and everything will come out and then I separate the torque tube after?

@@brandontodd8603 pull the boom and out of the boom block then there will 4 or 6 screws per side (can’t remember lol) the whole boom block will pull out the back (you will have to pull the frame sides apart slightly) then once the boom block is out the boom block will split in two half’s. Can be difficult but does come apart. Then make sure when you put the new gears in you check for backlash. 99.9% it’s perfect but every so often you will need to shim the gear for a tighter mesh.
