Not enough linkage balls in the kit :/

[AR90]

So I got my kit this Thursday, and the build has been going pretty smoothly. I was setting up my servo linkages and when I got to the throttle I realized Gaui only included 5 linkage balls instead of 6.

Complete bummer, I suppose I could always rip one off my trex 550, I looked and they seem to be the same size, but I'm not kind of guy to go rip apart my fully functional helis just to get a new one flying.

Is there a specific part number for the gaui linkage balls, or am I just going to have to find something thats close enough and use that?

You don't have any spares off of your 550? I used a spare one from my old Trex500ESP. Just measure the diameter of the Gaui one and use a spare from any heli that is the same dimension. Minor oversight, but I agree, it should have been included.

Unfortunately I couldnt find any spares laying around. And it doesn't seem like Gaui sells them separately (which is weird).

Guess Ill have to order a few Trex 500 ones.

I'm actually talking about the linkage balls, not the links themselves, those they gave me plenty off.

sorry misunderstood you.

Same here, not enough ball links, luckily I had some spare ball links from my Trex 600n.

Is good that you have provided this info here, so others anticipate to purchase or look for additional ball links. Nothing worse that having your heli almost ready and have to wait several more days for things like this.

I hade the same thing I just used some Spares from my trex 500

This should have been mentioned in the "Not included" section of the kit. I have everything I need except for a damn ball that was not mentioned in the parts needed to complete the kit.

I'm really liking this heli even though it hasn't flown yet. I just want to point out a few things that Gaui should correct on a great kit. Please give us the extra ball end!
