Just a little help if anyone else comes across this problem. I was able to get them partially out. What I did is took some Nail Clippers and snipped on to one of the edges and spun it out perfectly. Just wanted to post this because I though I was in a whole mess of trouble with a bent Main Shaft and no way to remove it. If you can't get any of the threads out you can always drill out the little tiny bolt and this will work just as well.

I used to asphalt oval race it at a local track with 13 turn modified and Raceprep stock motor with a 104 tooth 64 pitch spur gear. Since the pro line dirt hawgs I'm using will be significantly bigger than the foam tires I was running for racing I know my gearing will need to change. My question though is what's highest rollout ratio that can be hit with the Hobbywing ez-run 13 turn brushless combo? I'd like to keep the 104 tooth spur gear since it's fairly stout and stood up to the 13 turn modified abuse for multiple racing seasons and finding RC10 spur gears might be fairly difficult for a 26 year old car but going to say a 24 tooth pinion would give me a rollout ratio of 1.6 which I'm wondering if that would cause the 13 turn hobbywing to burn up. I'm thinking to prevent immediately grenading the tranny I'll turn punch down to it's lowest setting. Below are the RC speed calculator numbers.

24 (20) tooth pinions

Pinion spur ratio 4.33 (5.2)
Total reduction ratio 7.93 (9.5)
Rollout 1.6 (1.3)
MPH ~38 (31)

I'm looking for motors and esc's but I wonder if all brushless motors are sold balanced or not. With all my efforts and the help I've gotten from the wonderful people here at rc discuss I cannot get rid of all vibrations. If it doesn't work try try again right? Ok, after that what? I have balance my motors, I have balanced my props, I distributed weight properly, and I have a gopro3 on a 2 axis gimbal and all day long my videos JUST SHAKE the entire length. So I'm grounded until I can make up my mind on what parts to get. I would like to just replace my problem, (a bad esc) but I will need to rework the wiring and solder bullet style connectors for each esc to receive motor bullets and there isn't a single bullet connector on my quad, the motors are soldered directly to the esc, I didn't do this but I must deal with it now that I have an issue.

Can anyone suggest a few motors and or esc'c to look at. I'll pay up to 50 bucks a motor if necessary, but I would like to save some money wherever I can. I have been eyeing the bulletproof and a few other esc's. I really don't know what I'm gettin into with the esc's, this is my first time having to.

I've read that some people take a piece of news paper and determine it that way then tighten the motor screws backup with the news paper in between the Main Gear and the Gear to the Motor.
Should the Main Gear spin freely, because on mine the way it was shipped to me does not. It seems to be tight and from looking at the gear on the motor it looks like it is being worn. Any information on this subject on how tight the Main Gear should be against the Motor Gear would be much appreciated.

I`ve mounted the V959 camera on 2 layers of Zeal and secured it with a strip of velcro (which just fits under the pcb) to see if I could improve the video quality . I am getting a lot less jello effect , even though I haven`t checked the balance of the props yet .

I also added 1 gram of Blu Tak to each boom and I think this has reduced some of the vibration in the video by making the quad less `twitchy` . I`ve had the best results when using the 60% setting on the tx..maybe when my flying improves I`ll get smoother flight on the higher settings .

I need to find him at least a 4 ch that is almost unbreakable. He mostly flies in the house but would like to fly outside.

What would your recommendation be for say something under $50 (maybe $100)?

I'd rather find him something in the 6 ch range but I don't think they make those that are unbreakable (regardless of the price).

It is a fantastic flyer, handles great.
Only one problem. It seemed to cut out on me after just under 5 minutes so I landed it and the battery and esc were so hot I could hardly touch them.
I was using a 11.1 v 2200 mAh battery, flying at half throttle.
Any suggestions.
I have heard that other people can get 6 to 8 min. with this plane.

I see many helis in all of your signatures, from various companies, many of which do not have compatibility/interchangeability between their transmitters.

How many of you own multiple "nice" transmitters for each of the various types (Spektrum/JR, Devo, etc.)? Or do you have one nice TX for most of your helis, and bought the rest RTF?

I know the DX7s I have is a good solid TX for everything it can be used with. How many other "standards" are there? I assume Walkera's Devo is another... is there a third, fourth, etc.? Sticking with modern models, 2.4ghz.

What are the equivalents (to the DX6i, or DX7s from Spektrum for example), and what made you decide to try different ones? Was it one specific heli/quad you really wanted to get your hands on?

Finally, what do you prefer?

I am new to the forum, and have been flying R/C for a bit over a year now. I have progressed from trainers to warbirds, F4F, Mustangs, Spitfires, and a couple of GeeBees and can fly those with no problems. I would like to move up to an EDF and have been looking at the Exceed MIG 15 70mm EDF. I think I could fly it OK based on trying one on the Realflight simulator, but that isn't always a 1 to 1 correlation. Can anyone out there with experience in these jets recommend a good "starter" jet? Would the MIG be it, or possibly another one? I want something that can land on grass fields (cut low), and like retracts, but that isn't essential. I have flown the Nitroplanes Neptune EDF flying wing and loved it, but want something that is scale looking.

Mostly, I don't know where to find some of the answers for the questions that I have. I have looked at the FAQ and found some but not all.

Here is an example. Can a flybar, four channel heli do stunts such as the ones I see on various videos? I am guessing the answer is no. I can't figure out how it would hover upside down.

I have seen a few vids that supposedly explain how to learn or do some stunts. They all seem to assume some knowledge I do not have. For example, one demonstrated a forward flip. The bird he used did not have a flybar.

So, before I dig a hole in the ground, what capabilities does a helicopter need to have to do some minimal stunts.

I've been shopping around for a simulator but would rather spend that money on adding some larger helicopters to my collection, so I come here with hopes that someone can explain it clearly to me.

I have a Master CP with a Devo7 setup at factory specs (confirmed this, didn't just take someone's word on it). I use a "Mode 1" where the throttle is the left side. From what I can tell I just throttle up as normal, trim as normal, then hover at least six feet off the ground while making sure that the "throttle hold" switch is on. Once hovering I'm supposed to switch the top right switch to position 2 to performance / acrobat (or whatever) mode making sure that the left stick is at mid-stick. Is this right so far. Then I start moving forward and then throttle up and pull back on the right stick at the same time? Is this it or am I way off?

Very new to flying model helis, about 6 weeks now. Anyway, my largest ship is the V913 from WL Toys. After an unfortunate encounter with a brick wall -- I swear it was a gust of wind -- it now has some issues and I do not know how to go about tackling them. Forgive me if the information is posted here but I could not find anything.

Here are my issues.

1. There is a noticeable vibration in the rotor now. I am not sure what is causing it. A close visual inspection failed to show anything bent or broken. I replaced both the main and tail rotors with no improvement. How do I go about finding the cause? It does not seem to affect flight.

2. The bird spins rapidly clockwise while sitting on the ground and spooling up. With some cyclic and throttle I can sort of control it once it is out of ground effect. I have tried the electronic trimming with no success. It seems the tail rotor is not turning fast enough. Once up to some speed the tail rotor seems to kick in. Question: Is this spinning normal or a result of the crash? Can it be controlled?

Thanks for bearing with me. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Do I maybe need to go into the settings of the Gyro itself and turn the gain down slightly and see how it reacts then? Or what should I do here? I've upgraded the firmware of the gyro to 4.01. And have all the compensations working in the correct directions now, and have set it to beginner without modifying any of the gain or agility settings from default beginner settings. In the default settings for the tail it shows 30 yaw left 30 yaw right agility and 70 for the gain, should I maybe turn it down to about 60 or 65 maybe and see if it still does the yawing to the left on spool up? ]]> 450-Class RC Helicopters DAL2855 http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49880-question-about-the-Tarot-ZYX-Gyro NOW Hiring: Quad Pilot and Helicopter Pilot for XHeli.com http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49879-NOW-Hiring-Quad-Pilot-and-Helicopter-Pilot-for-XHeli-com&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 01:25:29 GMT Do you know how to fly quads or helicopters?

This morning I was flying on my new 8000mAh battery and for 4 minutes it flew like I expect it to and as soon as my wife opens the door to watch me fly at that moment the quad flips over faster than when I tried and failed to flip it, it was really fast. So after flipping it up right I armed the quad for flight and when all the motors spin at a simi slow speed motor 2 spins slower and without completing a full rotation it continuously spins one way then the other and still not making full rotation.
It is normal for one or even two motors to spin a bit slower until throttle moves above 10% stick, new firmware you must move above 50% before all motors spin at full speed for flight then takes off.
I have tried a little bit of trouble shooting but I cant do much without taking the assembly apart. I don't solder well enough to try soldering anything I'll put in the air and all points before the battery and naza are soldered. I need to know if I should replace the esc only or if I should look into another motor also.

I got flipped over three times and each time I was able to get back in the air with no problems. This morning I went for a fly and I had no problems, the wind is low today, until my wife joins me in front and as soon as she opened the door my quad flipped and landed up-side-down, I was simply hovering at about 4 to 6 feet above the ground.

Turns out a friend of his was also into r/c helis, but got out of it a while back. He still has all his stuff--including a "medium sized" Align TRex, brand new, never even taken out of the box. My father doesn't know anything more than that. I'm assuming it's probably a 450 sized heli.

Going to call and get more information. Not sure if it's a kit or RTF or BNF/ARF. It was implied that if I was interested, it would be available at a discount, along with "everything" that goes with it. Again, this is through the telephone game with my father, so I need more details.

I'm not sure I'm ready for, or want a larger heli yet. I also worried that when I got to these larger (more dangerous? other than to my wallet) helis, I would have wanted to find someone local to help me out, or be there to possibly keep me from doing something stupid.

I'm curious if it has a flybar or not, which receiver he has for it, and if no to either/both of those, what it's going to take to switch over to be able to use my Spektrum DX7s and get rid of the flybar (as far as both work involved and money). I've read some posts about people saying that dealing with tuning a flybar on larger birds can be frustrating, and it seems like everyone is moving away from them as the option becomes available.

I also know there is a lot more maintenance involved in larger CP helis, looking for and minimizing vibrations, locktite down all the parts that aren't supposed to move, and pre/post flight checkups to be sure everything is in order. Whereas my experience so far has been "Hrm... that all looks like it's supposed to and the servos are responding to my input *flips throttle hold off and flies away*."

Other than the availability of FBL systems, have there been any other breakthroughs in this design over the last couple years that I should be aware of? How new are brushless motors, or were they always used in these larger models? I'm unsure how long ago he was into this hobby, or how old the kit is. I may as well just be better off buying a new updated version when I'm ready, depending on how much I'd need to change down the road.

I might be be paranoid with all my above questions, as I've heard the Trex 450 is one of the go-to helis, been around for quite some time, and is proven, with lots of support/information/parts available for it.

I don't believe there is any rush in picking it up, it can sit there for as long as it needs before I graduate into that category, is my understanding. Just looking for information so I can appear to have half a clue with how to follow up on this, or if you think there are any questions I should ask him when I talk to him.

Will post again with more information as I find it. ]]> RC Helicopter Discussions for Beginners Feralcoderx http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49870-This-doesn-t-count-against-the-betting-on-how-long-before-I-buy-another-heli SKILLISM 2013 - Project 10 Botchan Stadium http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49869-SKILLISM-2013-Project-10-Botchan-Stadium&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 14:58:16 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yslDqlKsE0Q In this video I revisited the Botchan stadium, in Matsuyama.

While I was waiting on it I had time to do more research and I'm thinking about getting something else instead. I got the RC Helicopter bug bad after I bought my first V-911 and went bananas with the spending and ordered all of the non-coaxes listed in my signature all within a month of each other. I've fallen in love with each in their own way but I have to reel in my spending and this will be my last one for awhile.

My goal was to get a helicopter that flys like the Master CP but is a bit larger. I'm not flying 3-d at all, just gaining experience daily and will eventually get there. Now that I have a better feeling for what I want, I need to decide if I want to go ahead with the V400D02 or go with a V450D03. I'm constantly in here asking question after question, but I do it because I always get good advice. Both of these helicopters are similar in size and are similar in price. What do you think? Oh, and for what it's worth I'm going BNF with the Devo7 that I already have for now, I may upgrade the controller once I actually get some skill! ]]> RC Helicopter Discussions for Beginners w8liftn http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49864-Received-Walkera-V400D02-Damaged-Have-to-Make-a-Decision Wanting info on LEDs http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49863-Wanting-info-on-LEDs&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 22:58:31 GMT I was thinking of getting some blinking led's for my new plane and wondering how to wire them up and if they drain your battery faster and what kind of led's to get because i heard there was a few kind. ]]> LED Lights Dfinnerty http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49863-Wanting-info-on-LEDs Dynam AT-6 Texan 1370mm wingspan RTF Help http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49862-Dynam-AT-6-Texan-1370mm-wingspan-RTF-Help&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 22:30:13 GMT Attachment 8146 (http://www.rcdiscuss.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8146) I started out with park zone T-28 Trojan ultra micro I have been flying...

Just prior to the outbreak of American involvement in World War II, the U.S. Navy, having heard reports of a superb fighter produced by the Japanese, realized that the current Navy fighters, the F4F Wildcat and the F2A Buffalo, were close to, if not already, obsolete. Grumman Aircraft won a contract to produce a fighter that would match the performance of the fighters produced by the Axis powers. The F6F was the result. By January 1943 the Navy was receiving a steady supply of Hellcats, quickly proving the design while pressing the airplanes into service fighting the many sea battles of the Pacific. Although unable the match the Zero's turning abilities, the Hellcat pilots learned to use the airplane's greater horsepower, speed, and firepower to win battles.

Dynam RC is proud to bring you a scale EPO foam recreation of the F6F Hellcat. It features a high performance 500KV brushless motor and 40amp brushless electronic speed controller. It also comes equipped with a totally redesigned electrical retract system allowing the pilot to tuck the landing system out of the way and reduce drag. The Dynam Hellcat is flap ready with cutout for flap servos positioned to make installation of flaps a breeze.

The Dynam F6F Hellcat is a great looker in the air and shows excellent flight characteristics at both high and low speed. It is made from super durable EPO foam and while deliver hours upon hours of enjoyable flight time.

This almost ready to fly version comes with the power system, servos, and retracts installed. You will need a 14.8v 2200mah battery, a charger capable of charging the 14.8v Li-Po battery, 2.4ghz radio system to complete the build and ready the plane for flight. ]]> RC Plane Discussions for Beginners NitroPlanes http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49854-Dynam-F6F-Hellcat-Build-by-Jeff Dynam Hawker Tempest Build by Jeff http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49853-Dynam-Hawker-Tempest-Build-by-Jeff&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 03:46:12 GMT Get it here: RTF - http://www.nitroplanes.com/60a-dy8959-tempest-rtf-24g.html...

The Tiger Moth trainer model can be regarded as a legend in the aviation history. In the 30-40 years of the 20th century, most of the British and Commonwealth pilots were flying their first plane, a Tiger Moth. The pilots claimed the aircraft was easy to manipulate and felt secure. Some even mentioned that "you can fly it with your eyes closed." The Tiger Moth will always be a remembered as a great plane and can be seen in museums or even out flying in the sky.

This Dynam Tiger Moth is created with a classis appearance with vivid scale details. The wings span 50 inches long and the fuselage has an overall length of about 41 inches. Under the cowl you will find a 650KV brushless outrunner motor connected to a Detrum 40 amp brushless speed controller. The control surfaces are handled by 4 9 gram Dynam servos for precise movement. The entire electronics and power system is powered by a 14.8v 2200mah lithium polymer battery. The Dynam Tiger Moth is stable in flight due to the balanced center of gravity and bi-plane design. Pilot will find this model to be stable yet agile in its maneuvers allowing all skill levels to enjoy its flight. ]]> RC Plane Discussions for Beginners NitroPlanes http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49852-Dynam-Tigermoth-Build-Video-by-Jeff Heli Max 1 SQ low settings? http://www.rcdiscuss.com/showthread.php?49851-Heli-Max-1-SQ-low-settings&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 03:08:25 GMT Hello all..

I changed the frame on my quad and then the naza-m had an update come out. I updated my naza and its seems better but I'm not totally convinced quite yet. After I calibrated the naza for the first time due to the update I noticed that when I change rates the quad would wobbles nearly out of control until I switch the rate back the first setting and the wobble stops. I've been tweeking the rates since but I want to know if anyone else has had this problem.

The rates are changed when I move the 3way switch on tx.... position 1 rates are good for flying but not too reactive at 60 percent, position 2 was a bit snappier, ok for flying but wiggles then wobbles at 100 percent, and position 3 rates are the worst, at 150 percent it's super snappy (all stick movements -throttle) which is fine but the wiggles turn to wobbles and then it wobbles so bad it looks like it'll fall out the sky but the naza amazingly holds the quad in the air. It looks horrible and I can't be sure how long this can stay in the air moving like that but I switch back to position one and bring her down at that point to see what changes will bring better results.
This wiggle/wobble happens higher up around 25 thru 30 feet+. The higher the wind speeds the quicker and more dramatic this effect becomes. When I make changes I focus on position 2 and 3 rates and I aim to have the three evenly spaced. I want to have a setting with higher rates so I can have the quad react immediately since at lower rates there will be a drawl (y'all) in the commands.....
I've balanced the blades and the weight distribution on the quad and I made sure to center the naza this time for accurate readings.
I have noticed that I'm getting 3 solid additional minutes per flight with this new firmware :)) AND the light to shade to light doesn't seem to be affecting the altitude during flight..


If you can help that would be awesome!!!
