Hello guys,

Welcome to the blade 450 bible. In here, you'll find all the information for all aspects of the Blade 450 3D helicopter.

Bear with me as i put all the stuff together. Should be ready soon!

Official blade 450 3D website

Getting started?

Box opening verification This will help you do a quick check to make sure it flies perfect right away!

Tools required to help you do quick fix and repairs!

You don't want to be waiting on your local hobby shop for parts after a crash do you? Check this section on the most common spare parts.

Sooner or later, you'll need to check the head and tail assembly. Why? Sorry to break the news to you, but yes, YOU WILL CRASH and you'll need to put it back together!

I CRASHED!@#$%$%$#%? Now what?

Click here to see the diagnostics sections (still under construction).
- Adjusting the trims/swashplate
- Head assembly
- Tail assembly
- Head assembly
- Link lengths
- Flybar seesaw bearing replacement!
- Motor bearing replacement prodecure

Want to upgrade? My usual rule for upgrading a part is this: If you break it in the normal course of operation, replace it with a better part. If it doesn't break and does the job, just leave it! Here some lists:

Upgrades!

Complete official blade tail upgrades
Complete official Blade head parts upgrade
3rd party tail upgrades
Wbefield's bearing list

Official Blade Youtube channel, with the setup videos

- Finless Bob's Technical Video Library

EightmanVT · 09-25-2011, 12:25 PM

Just another thank you for all the time you're putting into this. It's definitely above and beyond the call of duty.

I see that you are bringing your website content to here... thanks for that. Better than having the site down! Now we just have to make sure we subscribe for that Stick Thread.

turbinejunkie · 09-25-2011, 09:45 PM

I don't know why the website was taken down but I liked it much better than this thread. The thread structure is not as good as the website you had. What seems to be the problem with keeping the website ?? please try to bring it back if possible. Navigating was so much better at the website...much better organized..

Nonetheless...said this before...thanks for the work..

But...

If copyright is an issue better having it here than not having it at all. Thanks for working this out Thalios and stilll find a way to provide the summarized information.

red_1030 · 09-25-2011, 11:11 PM

glad to see you got your sticky....

Thalios · 09-26-2011, 04:02 PM

Added the tail upgrades section, as well as changed a bunch of little omissions in the assemblies.

Keep the comments, suggestions and women coming... Oh wait?

Thalios · 09-26-2011, 04:36 PM

Added the head upgrade section.

Thalios · 09-26-2011, 06:45 PM

added finless bob videos + 3rd party tail upgrades.

Any idea which video shows how to properly level the flybar and paddles? I'm almost done with my repair - and ready to tackle setup.

Thalios · 09-26-2011, 07:12 PM

Don't think there's one but i detail it in the head assembly

Are links to parts okay? I'm having trouble locating the Traxxas body washers you recommend.

Thalios · 09-26-2011, 10:55 PM

Being, Check your PMs.

wbefield · 09-27-2011, 06:33 PM

I got my aluminum flybar seesaw today. Just wondering if I'll have to remove the seesaw bearings to swap it out?

Thalios · 09-27-2011, 06:34 PM

Yes as they hold the seesaw in place.

wbefield · 09-28-2011, 07:58 AM

from what I read, pulling the seesaw bearings and getting them back in is a PITA.
I'll wait until the plastic one breaks before I upgrade it.

I did get my alum tail servo mounts on last nite.. The tail servo will not budge. +1
