Great videos! Thanks!

Quick question. With the interference fit you need to hear the grips to place them on the bearing stack. But how do you get them off?

Thanks again!

Funnily enough they pull off easily, not sure why!

John,

My Diabolo is on order and I can watch these videos over and over without being bored.

You mention replacing the stock motor mount washers with "tail washers" since they are wider and distribute the force a bit more on the carbon frame. By tail washers do you mean spacers that you would use on a tail blade / grip? Do you have a particular part# or source for what you used on the Diabolo?

Maybe something like this:

Or 9mm OD Fender Washers:
http://www.radicalrc.com/category/Washers-314


Thanks again!

Yep just the spacers that come with the likes of Radix tailblades, they're drilled M3 and seem hard alloy and work well. The TDR has brass washers for this purpose.

Default Canopy Decals

John, I know I've seen a video showing how to install the canopy decals but can't seem to locate it now. Could you please post or provide the link? Many thanks... Ray
