Question Trying to convert it!!

I just bought a Eflight Blade 400 and put it into a Huges 500E body. I would like to convert the main rotor to the 5 blade system but unsure it will work or if it possible. I have read that guys are making it work for the T-Rex 450's but has anyone tried it on a Blade 400??

Thanks in advance.

If the main rotor shafts are the same size, which I think they are, the trex 5 blade head will fit. You might have to do some mods to get it working correctly with the linkages etc. Just depends on how determined you are to have the 5 blader on yout heli.....

The TRex 450 has a 5mm mainshaft, and as mentioned, if the B400 does as well, it's a bolt-on (at least as far as parts are concerned). Multi-blade heads open a can of worms in other issues, but they are not insurmountable...
