X55 AB position Mods.
-
Hi guys!
I tried made AB detent position of X55.
I tried it at Self-responsibility.It will be less likely to move from about 85% position to AfterBurner detent , by To setting the limit by the hot melt to the rail of throttle.

I was a little Move the throttle Once to make sure it works until the afterburner position, at before hardened.
Wait to harden back to positions of 50%…(This hot-melt has a little flexibility.)
Painted grease to the cured hot melt.
checked the operation.
I am currently testing it.
this is those movies.
Thanks for reading my a poor English.
from Japan. -
The result of the test, this MOD failed.
Part of the detent is shaved, it was found that the loss of function.I’m currently testing the built another Detent mod.
This is going very well.
(This has a need to create a detents part by a TAMIYA’s plastic plate.)This Mod currently there is a detent to position of the 100%. If you push this position is enabled to move to the red area than this.
Now this Mod is on durability testing.However, this is the scope of the afterburner means that very narrow.
Therefore, I believe now those improvement plan. -
This is detent parts photo. those parts was installed to X55.
Those parts was inserting to a predetermined position, and after fixed by hot melt.

Hi Drakko
Thank you for your reply.
my english is poor. You can understand my english?
(This is made with google translation.) Is a short sentence for that.I for throttle detent was needed, I decided this remodeling.
This has a need to make your own, If you wanted this mod.
(But please be careful. These remodeling is a self-responsibility. Also, I do not know whether this is ultimately successful.)
In addition, you need a certain amount of work technology.
I want to explain how to make, But I can’t speak English.
for that I was presents the videos and images.I purchased the material in the models shop.
This is the materials list that I have purchased.Cutter knife about ¥ 400
TAMIYA Plastic plate 1.2mm thickness. about ¥ 500
Adhesive for Plastic models. ¥ 400
Hot melt. about ¥ 2000? (possession. price is unknown.)
Several clips
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zK2Tl3X4x8TlhOb3M4SV9YY1E/view?usp=sharingAnd,
Briefly, this Mod parts are leaf spring.
and detent parts is on surface of leaf spring.
And it is consists of a spacer to be fixed in the gap of the part of the X55.
These are bonded with all the adhesive material.mods-parts (Previous posting)

Those that were removed.
I think that if you look to this understood that the size and structure.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zK2Tl3X4x8d2tMMmRILXJiOGc/view?usp=sharingCurrently, the best dimension with an emphasis on durability, and looking for ways of best installation, because anxiety to X55 body strength of the place to insert this parts is there.

Those movie are with inner workings of detent mods. But this focus was not good video.
Are you there any questions?

Just looking at the pictures, I can’t say I understand how you did it, but from the last video it seems you’ve succeeded.
おめでとうございます!

Thanks for your reply xekueins.
I think this mod has been successful to the installation of the detent.
however there are some problems.
If you have heavier throttle tension setting, not feel a detent.
Also durability is unknown.It is better not to introduce until the problem is resolved.
Drakko
Yes. open is there is a risk.
Therefore is a self-responsibility. I’m four times wiring was disconnected.
I repaired the fifth times cut, a little while ago. ,Oh, I was not thought to installing a detent to the outside that!
Thanks your Idea! It might be a good idea.
I think those also want to try to take into account. Since the break repair is not good. -
I got a new detent idea.
If your X55’s had grease removal mods done, this mods is not necessary to decompose.
In some cases it can be installed in multiple positions. (Example 50% and 100%.).
And, It is easy to install with familiar materials.
Currently It is being tested. -
I removed the old detent mods for the test of new mods. The test is ongoing.

This mods is not less durable. However, it is easy to install. Removal is also very easy.
I think that it supplements it by exchanging on a regular basis. -
Fascinating.

Test movie of Multi-step detents. This case is 5-steps.
However, detents are consume one pitch scale. it seems not practical since the movable range becomes narrower in this case.
Currently this multe detent was remove.

This is a detent that has further improved and wasted space is gone. It takes a large resistance at an arbitrary position, and becomes a small resistance if it exceeds it.
This made it possible to adjust the output in the AB area although it is small.Paste the tape in an arbitrary times of layers, and Cut to T shape.
Paste it like an image at an arbitrary AB-detent position.
