Wing mount on flm towers

[squeeforever]

actually they might be. pull it off and check it with a magnefying glass. that might be your problem.

It may be real close. I remember you saying that it did good at first and then started. It may be just barely touching it. After you ran it some it has made full contact. could try a extra couple washers on the screws.

Man that is difficult to see. I do not see any signs of contact, but it is a possibility. When I mount it next time I'll add a couple of washer just to make sure.

We must have been typing at the same time coolhand.

(back on topic) which towers do you have coming? these or these? i looked in the e-maxx section and its the old ones. the new ones look like they have holes for a wing...

Hey I have the older type but that new type looks awesome. I may have to trade out for them. I have to ebay the old ones. It does look to have the wing mount made in squee. I am not sure the type it would take.

Looks like the mounting pattern is for the MBX5 wing

Thanks guys. The towers are on the way, so they will be the new style. I was hoping someone else had already done it. A direct bolt on would be a lot cleaner than something I mod.

I think I will pick up a MBX5 mount and try it out.

Thanks again!

(back off topic) try and tap the shaft with a mallet or something and look at the windings and the rotor. check to see if there is a burnt smell or black in there...

No burnt smell. I did not take it apart. I will let Mike do that.

Thanks again for the ideas!
