USA warehouse now open. Our USA warehouse is now open! Low cost shipping and an ever growing variety make ordering from the US warehouse even better value!
Hello gents.... I have been building models for almost heck what almost, first "chuckie" I built 50 years ago... never used any threadlock find it very hard to loosen fasteners at a later taime.... especially around control surface hardware that constantly needs one or other adjustment.... What I found works the best and even has an aplicator brush..... NAILPOLISH..... after you have torqued the fasteners with the brush apply a drop of nailpolish over the nut or head of the fastener. Works perfect and you don't need pair of vicegrips to loosen it... (just my humble two cents... or at my age probably half cent.... lol cheers all
Anyone could tell me what kind of threadlock I can use with this Linkage Stopper????? Because there is a lot of threadlocks: like low strength, medium, high and ultra high strenght. Thx
you can use any threadlock you want, just be sure it's the strength you need it. Threadlock is more like a glue so there is no threadlock for specific thread.
because there are a lot of kind of threadlock VISCOSITY. I tought it was necessary to use a low viscosity threadlock because these small parts linkage stopper.
There are different levels of strength based on aplication. I've always used the Blue Loctite since its ment to be serviceable. The red stuff is for non-servicable parts, and if you read the instructions on the back, they say you need heat to release the glue, like useing a tourch.
It must use in your servo arms to handle the push rods easily...
No need to bend the pushrod and put inside the hole.. and adjustments of pushrods are quite simple..
you can use it with Servo and control horns. I use it in some models with Servo and control horn and it works perfect. Than you can adjust it on servo and control horn.
* n00lesd: when you use a carbon fiber rod you have to use it on servo and control horns :-)
The weight of a carbon fiber push rod is less than an steel push rod
you might not be using the washes that come with it. if so use them that way there is less rubbing. If you are using the washers I wold recommend some thread lock but I use this no matter what.
i use the same but have no problem whit it.
but i have heard that this can fal off, i was recomended to buy Pushrod Snap Connectors 2mm (5pack) instead.
but u can use thread lock to make sure it wont fal off.
I have been this hobby for well over 3 years and everyday there is something new to be learned.My projects are several scratch builds. However, i would like to get into building a quadcopter. But i am not sure of which circuit board works best for the size build quad or motor.
u can use the HK KK2 lcd board ...as far that is the best board for the price..!
this item wont help in quad... and this is the wrong place to discuss on that...!
the threaded end goes through the control horn (opposite end of the push rod from the servo). The push rod passes through the hole on the side. The grub screw on the end holds the push rod in place when the control surface is lined up
It is an adjustable connector between pushrod or bowden cable and servo arm. You may need to drill out small servo arms to fit snugly. Don't forget thread lock or cyano on thumb nut when fitted. Not supplied with small allen key for grub screw clamp.
The description is not the best. These are designed to be strong enough for 60/10cc I/C planes and so can be a bit of an overkill on small electrics however they work well. You will need to ream out a hole 2mm diameter in the horn. I find a tapered needle file is best to get a perfect fit, not too tight and not too loose. Don't forget a tiny drop of cyano on the thumbscrew when you are happy with the operation. You will need a small allen key for the grub screw.
Depending on the diameter of your rod you may need to drill it out. However, this is relatively simple and does not take much time. They should work great in an apprentice.
you could use these on the hobbyking servos but u would have to use them on a servo arm that has a hole around 2mm wide. i wouldnt recommend using these on micro servos but standard size servos should be fine.
otimo Stopper,uso em varios modelos,no servo de 9g tem que fazer um buraco no braç*o,mais fica otimo!so tem que pasar trava rosca pra nao perder a porca!
Hi there! No it wont fit unless you modify it.
But then you will have weaken the servo arm, but possible if you make a bigger hole in the arm.
hope this helps.
muy buen collar tambien se puede usar en aviones livianos o parkflyers, solo hay que asegurarlo con algo de epoxi en el fondo para no perderlo en pleno vuelo, saludos.
The hole diameter for your push rod allows for 1.8mm wire to pass through. I guess it is 2mm. As for the diameter of the screws, I am not sure what you mean. The heads are resonably large. Larger than they need to be. But I suppose it makes it easier for those of us blessed with large thumbs! I find I need to drill out my servo arm just a little to allow the thread to fit through. You absolutely MUST use threadlocker or CA when done.
I measured one on today. the hole diameter is 2.1mm ,lock screw for push rod is M3x4L,foot diameter is 2mmx5L along with M2 thumb screw.overall height is 11.3mm.
Yes. You will need to slightly enlarge the hole in the servo arm. Alternatively, these stoppers can be attached to your control horn enabling you to adjust from the control surface. A z-bend can be made to fit to the servo. Either way is fine. Adjustment is really precise. I have used these stoppers on the the hxt900 and I use a fine drill bit in my fingers to make the holes larger.
Yes I use them on all my aircraft without weight limits or speed, just adapt the reference on the one hand and create a Z on the other hand make small hole which receives the stopper arm of the servant.
There is no such thing as credit any more for answering questions. People who answer questions for free are true hobbyists and just wish to help people. Perhaps you never received any credit because your answers weren't chosen. Goodbye.
Hobby King, when will these be in? The entry says "arriving from back-warehouse in 3~4 days" but it has now said that for over two week. My order has been on hold for two months now because of these!
Yes, same problem for me, too. I have been waiting for three months. I have begun to wonder how far the back-warehouse is located. Looking forward to re-stocking.
hi when i brought these they were on back order to and said 3 to 5 days after 2 weeks they were finally they got shipped but these little buggers work just fine
A few days ago I received an email assuring me of supply in the future. I had asked for an indication of ETA but was advised they could not be more specific than to say sometime in the next three months. These items are a very good product in their price range and HobbyKing is doing well to provide them to customers. I would recommend them anytime. But I would like HobbyKing to consider the value of giving good quality information about supply times. How about adding a service whereby customers can purchase backorder items in advance AND NOT PAY POSTAGE - instead hold items when they do arriveto be included in the customer's subsequent order and then posted out. We do need a solution to the problem of pre-paid orders being held up for over a quarter of a year pending the late arrival of one small item.
suspect HK refuse to order when demand <100s, the MOQ of this item perhaps 1000s. C'mon guess I am sure you WILL NEED this item in so many projects. Pls help out suckers like me who have to wait > 20days. The bonus is, you will get it much faster than us.
I decided to test myself. The item arrived yesterday. Tested with HXT900 Servo horn. It didn't fit very well - you need to enlarge the hole around 1.4-1.5mm. After that, it fit nicely.
Then, I tested with CF rod (solid) 1.5mm. Perfect! Now I'm going to convert all my foamies with this method. Very cheap and worth the money.
I would guess 2mm, as the threads are 3mm (M3), and the length is 11.2mm. I think I bought some a couple of months ago, but cannot seem to find them right now, so I cannot confirm....
Eric, Your point being - shop at HOBBY KING not the LHS?! :) To HK, I intend on buying 5 sets of these, please get them into stock.

Nice little Linkage Stopper M3x2xL11.2mm (10pcs/set). Thumb nut allows for tightness adustment on servo arm/wheel. Make sure you put a drop of CA glue on the thumb nut threads so it can't work loose.

Great linkage stopper. Little bit higher weight, but robust and well made! Don't forget to use a drop of CA on the screw!

Great linkage. I used this (or the small one) in all planes that I use and never had problems with it.
