well I spoke to the powers that be & they said they might do some tweaking on it
Chellie by any chance would you happen to know what size bearings are in this motor & are they replaceable-TR 35-36B 1300kv Brushless Outrunn

you will have to take the bearings out and measure them, the ID is 4mm, you need to measure the OD and width, and call King Bearing, or look up the bearings on line after you get the measurements, hope that helps, Chelliemaybe here, Use a Digital Caliper, I hate trying to read a metric none digital Caliper

This happened over the course of a couple weekends
I use a junior fm radio.My yak on top had a berg micro rx in it.I think the servo wire just came unplugged.at least it was the only one unplugged when I looked at it after the crash.I'll tape it down next time
The aileron trainer plane on bottom had been crashed once before
When I screwed the clevis back to the pushrod it felt pretty loose.I was hotdoggin' it pretty good in flight.I think it just stripped out of the pushrod.I should have ca'd it in place
Live & learn eh
