A ball raced swashplate retainer (rotating scissors) would be better and requires no service. Vario part Nr. 68/20 (10mm) or 68/50 (12mm) depending on the shaft size.

What kind of mechanics is this?, looks very compact. Direct tail drive safes you a lot of mechanical transmission and weight.

Hello, there will be a "L" shaped foam installed on the carbon plates so the Lipo's can not touch the screw and ALu base frame.

Very interesting video, so you can see really what is happening. I always make a stable and sustainable connection as close to the topside of the mechanics as possible, never had issue's with vibration. Thanks for sharing the video!

Very impressive machine. Lots of respect for the build !
