Default Got my Trex 800 Pro DFC built
Just thought I would share I have joined the 800 club finally. The build went great and really impressed again at Align's quality of kits. This thing is so big, I fell like it is my first 600-700 heli all over again hahah. Will get in in the air soon once I get the electronics hooked up. Here is a couple pics next to its little brother

myself and the rest of the team use the stock unit Jamie colin and ben really push these 800 no issues so far you need to grease them with a good grease and i would check the unit after 50 flights and grease as needed if you feel you need it then by all means upgrade it.

I was reading through the 700 section the other day and it seems a few have had this issue. There looks like a good way to repair it if it slips using red loctight and even installing a couple grub screws in the housing. Think I am going to give mine a try first and see how it goes. Maybe mark the sleeve and case to see if it is moving. It would really horrible to loose a 800 because of something like this
