450 Helicopter Help

[Dynaglide]

I changed the tail rotor out for an Aluminum one and my tail rotor is now turning clockwise . lol . Do I need to take it off and turn the belt or can I fix this with my Transmitter .?It's a Blade 450 X and Spektrum NX 8 + transmitter . thanks

The tail rotor is driven off of the main rotor through the belt, so if you changed it in the transmitter ( which I don't think you can ) it would reverse the main rotor... you will have to install the belt properly so the tail rotates the proper direction.

Silly question but did you installed the tail blades backwards? Just a thought

Like Randy said, you most likely have the belt twisted in the wrong direction. We`ve all done it. You can`t fix that in the transmitter, so you`re going to have to take the tail apart and retwist the belt in the opposite direction that it is now. Usually the belt needs to be twisted 1/4 turn to the left, if you are looking at the rear of the helicopter.
