Overview
The Blade Tail Rotor Shaft and Drive Pulley (2) is an essential replacement component for RC helicopter enthusiasts operating Blade 330S, 330X, and B450 models. This genuine OEM part is designed to restore your helicopter to factory specification when the original tail rotor assembly requires maintenance or repair.

This two-pack supply gives you spare components to maintain your fleet without downtime.
Manufactured by Blade, a trusted name in RC helicopter design and innovation, the tail rotor shaft and drive pulley assembly is a critical component in your helicopter's control system. The tail rotor is responsible for counteracting the main rotor's torque, allowing your heli to maintain stable directional control during flight. Over time, through regular use, practice manoeuvres, or accidental impacts, these components may wear or require replacement. Having genuine Blade parts ensures perfect fit, function and longevity compared to aftermarket alternatives.
RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Blade component to serve the UK RC helicopter community. Whether you fly recreationally in gardens and parks or compete in organised RC events, having access to quality spares means you can keep your helicopter in peak condition. Order the Blade Tail Rotor Shaft and Drive Pulley (2) today and rest assured you're using authentic, manufacturer-approved components that will restore your helicopter's performance to like-new standards.

Technical Performance
The tail rotor shaft and drive pulley assembly represents precise engineering designed specifically for Blade's renowned helicopter range. As a core mechanical component in the helicopter's yaw control system, the drive pulley transmits rotational force from the main rotor to the tail rotor, whilst the shaft provides the structural support and rotational bearing for the tail rotor blades. Blade's engineering ensures these components are manufactured from durable materials capable of withstanding the continuous rotational forces, vibration, and mechanical stress experienced during regular RC helicopter operation. The two-unit pack format acknowledges that replacement of these components is part of routine maintenance for active RC helicopter pilots. This is particularly true for those who fly frequently or participate in training, where component wear accelerates naturally. The compatibility across the 330S BNF Basic with SAFE, 330S RTF Basic with SAFE Technology, 330S RTF with SAFE, 330X BNF Basic, and 330X RTF variants demonstrates Blade's design consistency across their helicopter range, with this assembly serving as a standard part across these popular models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Blade helicopters are compatible with this tail rotor shaft and drive pulley assembly? — This genuine Blade component is designed as a standard part for the 330S BNF Basic with SAFE, 330S RTF Basic with SAFE Technology, 330S RTF with SAFE, 330X BNF Basic, and 330X RTF helicopter models. It is also compatible with the B450. Always verify your specific model before ordering to ensure perfect fit.
- When should I replace my tail rotor shaft and drive pulley? — These components are subject to wear through regular use and vibration during flight operations. If you notice any wobbling in the tail rotor, loss of yaw control responsiveness, or visible damage to the pulley teeth, replacement is recommended. For active pilots flying multiple times weekly, keeping spares on hand is prudent maintenance practice.
- Is this an official Blade part? — Yes, this is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) component produced by Blade, the same company that manufactures your helicopter. Using official parts ensures perfect compatibility and the reliability expected from an authorised replacement.
- Why am I getting two units in this pack? — The two-pack supply acknowledges that serious RC helicopter pilots may need to maintain multiple aircraft or require spares for frequent replacement. Having redundancy means you won't be grounded when one component requires maintenance.
- Can I install this myself? — The Blade helicopter community finds that rotor shaft and pulley replacement is within the capabilities of most RC helicopter enthusiasts with basic mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools. However, if you're uncertain about installation, RC Model Shop can provide advice or direct you to resources.
- How long will these components last? — Component lifespan depends on flight frequency, piloting style, and storage conditions. Gentle recreational flying may see these last many months, whilst competitive or intensive training use may necessitate replacement every few months. Inspect them regularly as part of pre-flight checks.
