tail slider wedged

[Vovets]

Hi!
I always had slightly inconsistent tail on my Warp. I tried MKS 8910A+, Futaba S9257 and finally BLS257 which I liked the best. But then I found that slider rubs on the shaft. I polished the shaft and the slider. After two flights it's completely wedged. Luckily I noticed that on the ground.
Did anybody have any problems with rubbing slider? What do I do, just replace both slider and the shaft?

did you lube the shaft?

I was having an issue with mine. I pulled the bushing out of the tail slider assembly and slid it on the tail shaft without any load on it and that smoothed mine out. I think I had crushed mine on one end. The brass bushing is pretty soft.

No, I didn't. But I didn't do it on any of my other machines either. What do you think if I lube it with tri-flow superior dry lubricant? Or better go with liquid oil?

I used to use triflow an and it worked well but did not last long grease works too but right now been using dry silicone that I use on the belt it dries fast and does not come off. may not be needed but it sure does not hurt when you have metal on metal same with the main shaft.

Thank you Fooferdoggie, I'll try both and see how it goes.

The Warp is the one heli I've found which doesn't like the tail pitch slider to be run dry. I've mostly used a couple of drops of silicon spray applied with the blunt end of a toothpick.
