Folding Arm Assembly
The folding arm assembly consists of both injected plastic, and Carbon Fiber parts.
The tiny EzESC is located inside the tube.
The pivot point is a critical structural element of the Vortex arm. These
plastic parts are clamped, and keyed, onto the carbon fiber tube. In a
serious crash, this pivot point acts as a ‘fuse’, and should be checked
for damage, and replaced if necessary.
The arm ‘C’ clip provides the locking mechanism for the arm, and
ensures that the arm only bends in the intended direction.
NOTE: When removing and reinstalling the ‘C’ clips, take care
that the correct screws are used. If a screw which is too long is
used in the area which rubs against the carbon arm, the surface
of the arm can easily be damaged.
