Should I turn or resuface a new rotor?

No, they are ready to install. Just spray them with brake cleaner and wipe them off with shop paper towels. It cleans off any coatings used in shipping to prevent rust.

Asked by gene m. What is the turn around for repair if lathe is sent to be repaired?

You want to make sure they are the exact fit, I bought a set and my front right side rotor pulsates and will eventually throw off my alignment off. I would recommend you buy what you can see and touch and compare with manufacturer specifications. It will save u a lot of money and time in the long run.

The bottom rotor maybe slipping, by putting a finger against the cog and gently apply rotation to the bottom rotors if they turn try this : hold the large upper cog and push the bottom rotors (connection assembly firmly down the main shaft - it should become more snug (try the rotation test above) on the shaft and hopefully lift is restored.I think this is a deliberate design to save potential damage or harm from the bottom rotors suddenly stopping on collision, ie a bit of slip on the shaft

I would suggest to take off your old starter. Hold it next to the picture Make sure the way it mounts is the same. This one has two on one side with holes and the other side the same but the holes are open kind of like A fork.Also look at the bendix, the gear that turns out into the flywheel gear. Make sure it looks the same there are several but they look different. Mine went on A 8hp motor about 14 years old. The motor was white in color. If this is the right one I found it to be A great buy. You could take The starter to A lawn mower shop and ask them if it is the same one as in the picture.

I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor. Make sure there isn't any hair wrapped around the post. It's amazing what these things can pick up when flying! 2. Purchase a new rotor because yours might be bent, keeping it from rotating. This happened to us before. You couldn't see the bend but when we replaced it, voila! If you've had this helicopter for awhile, it's possible that it's on its last leg. We have had these for several years and one is finally not turning the back rotor and it can't be fixed. We've gotten our money's worth out of it. However, if it's brand new, return it. Hope this helps! I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor.

You can purchase ceramic pads online for anywhere from $18-$60 and stock rotors for $23 per wheel. Overall, seems like they are charging a "normal" price for a mechanic, but if you can do them yourself you will save a lot of money. Some mechanics make their money selling parts as well, and will not take in parts and put them on for you. I would call your mechanic first and see if they will put on parts that you bought. They might charge you more for labor, and not warranty the repair. See what they say first. Hope this helps! Justin

After a while, just replace the buffing wheel. They're relatively cheap and do the job.

Each rotor (front right / front left) has two pads (inside and outside). So there are 4 pads two for each front wheel. You must replace all 4 pads at the same time.

When you say "twist" do you mean to unlock it in order to change directions? If so mine just took a bit of loosening. I smacked it with a hammer a few times and then was able to reverse the twist with no issue. Ended up working perfectly when I needed to remove the rusted set screws holding the brake rotors on my 2007 Acura MDX. 7 years/75k miles and have never been changed so they were really rusted in there. Two smacks a piece and they came right out!

Raybestos advertises them as installation ready - no need to turn them. I have installed at least a half-dozen pairs of Raybestos rotors and have never had any issues.

If the diameters are correct, flipping wont be a problem i think, but to be sure please send an e-mail to company, mine is on the left.4.7 v8

Unless the blade has become dull or has been in some terrible accident, perhaps slammed in the frame of an entry way door, it should not need replacing. The nut with its sprung collar however is another story... It is possible for this to eventually wear, allowing some play in the centering of the blade. The other concerns are that the motor has some sort of rubber vibration isolation mounts. If any of these have torn, dried out and crumbled, etc., this would allow the motor assy. which the blade is attached, to be very unstable. With the machine unplugged from any power source and no parts mounted to it, firmly grasp the rotating piece the blade mounts to. While supporting the base of the machine with your other hand, try to gently check for movement. You are checking for failure of the integrity of the motor mounts. Does this marriage seem floppy, or firm and tight? There should be the slightest bit of flexibility (like a super tight spring), but if there seems to be play here and you can move the parts around easily, I would suspect a failure in the mounting system.

It was"new", although they are very often rebuilt. Windings bearing were new as far as I could determine. It has been in service since I bought it. No problems so far

Now that I could not say. If you can find the exact replacement tail rotor, I would recommend that, of course. I have several different electric heli's and the parts do not appear to be interchangeable. All of my heli's, right now, are up at my farm in northern Michigan; the snow is so deep, I haven't been able to get up there in weeks where I could check the heli details out for you. Happy flying

For my order, I needed two, one for each side. Generally the rotors wear out together, so you'd need two to order.

The main rotor head is all metal and so is the tail rotor. Other than that not much different and worth the extra money if you dont have problems with it.
