Once again, a great practical video that everyone from beginner to advanced flier can use. Great job Jeff!

Another Incredible Video, Jeff! Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us, the viewers!

great video as always Jeff, thanks you for being such a amazing contributor to this sport!!

Great video and very helpful.

Excellent Video. Thanks Jeff.

Very good information. Thank you Jeff.🧙‍♂👍

Good stuff. Ive used scorpion bearing oil and triflow on everything. Never thought to grease the main shaft and tail shaft. Makes sense. The grease is less likely to fling off like triflow. Ive always flown full gear systems and found using a little parafin wax on those gears helps with the chattering.

Hell yeah, great tips here brother. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for this.

Soooo helpful! THANK YOU! :)

I live in Louisiana and i dont add oil to anything but the head, tail head and 1 way bearing. Oil anywhere else attracts dirt and the parts wear out even quicker at least in my experience.

Very good information

I did not listen to the video… but wanted to say i am sure it’s great… will listen to it tonight and thanks for the video 😊

Great video. Thank you. If you had a helicopter sitting for a year, what components should I focus on or shpuld it be ok with just a visual inspection? Thanks.

In the full scale aviation world, nylocks or nylon stop nuts are usually a one time install then tossed. Now that’s a little over kill for a model but as inexpensive these are by the 100, I change mine after three installs. I mark the nut with a dot from a sharpie after it’s tightened each time. If there are three dots when I take it off, then I use a new one. Kinda anal but 40 years of working on airplanes, from models to fighters you tend to get that way. Your videos are really informative. If anyone hasn’t bought Kubler products prepare for sticker shock. The micro lube is cheap at $30 compared to the bearing grease for my CNC mill bearings. That said, it will last a long time and is the most recommended product in many industries.

We need more, and more Trex 600 Nitro videos please, of course the old one. Btw niice video. :) your Trex 600N is amazing!

great as always - you forgot the swashplate bearing. nice fleet btw !

Wow that goblin 700 look badass

I have used Armor All for tail belts as well! Same exact application 😂 Great video for the newbies and vets too!

Great video but I gotta say, I have never oil any of my belts. It seems very strange to me but I guess if It's silicon it should be ok. I like to use "Dry Fluid extreme heli" on my shafts as it is not a grease that will attract dirt.

Consider why apply ANY liquid lube to bearings. They are partly sealed with grease not oil. Greased for life. Oil would only dilute the grease. If no grease, replace bearing

I know it is not a practice to use any lube on the blade roots but I was really wondering why not. Would it reduce wear on the blade roots and on the blade grips? One aspect I considered is that it would collect dust and make wear even faster but why dont we use DryFluid or other PTFE stuff? It would reduce friction that could cause issues at spool up, like unwanted blade strike on the grips. Other thing is that if the libe film is too thick it would make the grip and the head more “flexible” maybe in a wrong way, but a very thin layer would not cause such problems. So generally if we do not consider dust collection and rigidity/flexibility issues, why dont we do that?

Genial amigo muy buen vídeo El aceite dela correa es para limpieza o algo más ?? Lla que Llo no le echo nada ala mía

Thanks for the video I was really looking forward to this one. Any chance you'll be doing a Nimbus 550 build in the future? After I build my RAW 420 I'm thinking the Nimbus is going to be my next step forward.

Jeff, I'm not famailar with the fabric paint tip. Do you just put a dab on it on the servo plugs after they've been fully pressed in?

Would you do the same to the Blade Fusion 180 and Fusion 360 as far as the shaft, bears, and belt go?

Very cool! In America there are o many great things for helis. I think I was an American in another life. I'm very drawn there. Can anyone recommend a very good RC Heli parts shop in America? Best for nitro

Caution about lube on one way. Consider it is not actually a bearing. It’s a clutch. It works by friction. Lube is nearly for life, stops rust mostly. I used Teflon based lube and regretted it. TOO slippery. Lost power and HARD auto a few times. Totally cleaned one way and applied minimum crappy lube. Never a problem again.

First after a long rest from youtube

why does this guy sound like yoga the bear is it just me LOL

I’m a brand new rc helicopter pilot. I’ve owned fixed wings before. I have a FlyWing Bell 206 V3 and I for the life of my can’t completely get rid of a vibration on shutdown. It used to do it on spool up as well. I’ve adjusted the main blades many times and can’t seem to get it right although I’ve made it considerably better. Please help.

Glad no suggestion of lube main gear. That’s a no no. At least if it’s premium Delrin (polyoxymethylene) like SAB use. SABs own manual advise no lube. Maybe occasional wd40 (which is not actually a lube ) ….that’s just to keep gear cool in hot conditions. All lubes just attract grit, the enemy. If gear looks dirty, I use wd40 just as a cleaner. Wipe up any mess with paper towel

Puzzled by flyers using silicon on belts. No manufacturer recommends it. So called dry lube would still risk attracting grit. Typically cars run timing belts way harder and longer without any product applied.

Many say leave the belt dry, it does nothing to improve longevity of belt and may allow more dirt to stick

Step 1 Leave no screw unturned.

Not gonna lie but the section about lubrication was painfull to watch. Belts are designed to be used without lubrication. An oiled belt will attract dust and wear down faster. The wrong type of lubricant can even attack the rubber components of the belt. The main rotor and tail rotor shaft usually don't need lubrication either. Especially if your tailrotor uses a bronze bushing. And putting any kind of Oil onto ZZ-Bearings is a big No-No. Those bearings are packed with a lifetime supply of grease. Adding oil will change the properties of the grease packing or wash it out entirely.
