E5 tail grips lose
« on: February 28, 2018, 05:21:09 PM »
I have just finished building a new E5 and then I check the tail grips they have some play in them it almost feels like they are missing a shim

I have the thirst bearing in correctly with the larger ID in first and the smaller one to the out side.

Anyone else have the play on the tail grips?

That is completely normal. When the tail is spinning it hey will be out an equal amount.

In the E5 manual page 37 it says to apply grease to the Thrust Bearing Ball Race, the 5x10x3 radical bearings have no grease in them.

Do I apply grease to the Radial bearings?

The radials should be good to go.
