Where to get MIK4620 Main Shaft in USA?
Long story short I've been trying to get my 600sx back up in the air for over 2 weeks due to a very minor blade strike. Amazed how much was damaged on the heli. After 2 orders from ReadyHeli and some assistance from a forum member I thought I had all the parts. So here I am this mornjng in my boxers all excited to get logo up and running doing a super nice job. Just discovered the main shaft is out of round.... Are you effing kidding me?!
Out of stock at RH of course... |

Ksmodels in China is the only place I could find the shaft in stock. Maybe you could try the parts swapping sticky and make a trade for the shaft.

My 550 has been down for almost six weeks because no main shafts have been available.

I think RH is getting the big shipment in this week. Fingers crossed!
BTW- if you need a SX mainshaft after the shipment comes in, you better call me. I am tempted to buy them all |

Contact RH and see eta on the shaft. If its going to be a long wait, maybe you and Ryan W can split the 40+ shipping since you both need the same part.

The last crash took out the frames, tail and all of that good stuff, so contemplating just getting a new 550SX kit. That is one way to get the parts I need

RH's response:
Hi Chris, we are also waiting to get this item from Mikado as they are back ordered at the factory. We have plenty if these on order with them and we will get them as soon as they have them available. Sorry for the wait as this is a part many pilots as well as us are waiting for. Rich Update: Asked them for a clearer eta. Hi Chris, Mikado is just now showing them back on their site in stock so we may have them as early as Friday or more likely, next week.

I got my spare shaft from KS Model last week (I only really needed a tail control lever).
http://www.ksmodel.com.hk/index.php?route=common/home Took 4 days to get from China to NZ (they upgraded the shipping to FedEx for free). They have done this twice now. Awesome service! I'm used to paying freight (no Mikado in NZ), which is why I buy other 'just in case spares' to help offset the cost of freight. RH still has the best website ever - but I guess serving the entire USA places big demand on their stock.

2Cants- what is the part number for the tail control lever you are looking for? I have one spare, new in the package. If it is the same part I will send it to you for just the shipping cost.

I'm all good - I got the Mik2447 from KS Model. RH had one but I wanted a spare main shaft as well (for my crash kit) which RH didn't have. Thanks again for kind offer.

I am not affiliated with ReadyHeli and only speaking on what I heard, but I think the latest shipments were to fill previous backorders and maybe some became available for open stock. If I understand correctly, the full stock order hasn't arrived yet.

We have another (100) 4620 shafts on order with Mikado, who're expected to ship them to us Monday next week. Should anyone like to reserve them, simply send our staff a website CRM and they'll happily accommodate your guys needs. -Staff.
