Can't help you with where to find threaded ball studs, but the Blade 120SR has 3MM balls on swash & blade grip. MicroHeli makes upgrade alum parts for them, but not threaded, press fit. You could pull off the ball studs of and reuse them on your grips.
Question??? What exactly are you aiming to get out of making your own blade grips. I don't really see any problems with the stock ones on the 130X. |

Well I guess somebody had to say it!
Walkera is another source for the "3 mm studded" balls. I am not able to check my build and repair box as it is still in storage, but I believe TAROT also has the studded style. As for sources for either, do a search for the Mfg. There are numerous sources for both all over the Internet. |
