Nice video.  Keep it comming.  I'm working on making the Exceed blazing Star Brushless.  Although costly in the beginning, I'm tired of replacing those pairs of motors that cost alot of money.  I hate it when one motor starts to fail and I get the spinning problem and I have also run out of trim tabbing.  So far, the brushless motors work perfectly.  Well worth the investment.

Can you tell me what is so hot with the Blazing star.I have 2 and  I have nevvr had one from X-hel help me not one time'That I gave UP on X -hell.I just want to tell Ya Look at if you are a new flyer Try  the the new C-Ax 300. You will just crap your PJ's I have two  and the BS is just that  Bull rc helicopters for life.I have 3 rec two than  I lots of parts

Just getting started and have a Exceed g2. Anything on that yet? I have already broken the gear that turns the rear rotor and have the replacement parts but don't know where to start. Any help?

I don't think I'll be doing any video on the G2 but then again the future is uncertain

Do a Exceed Raptor G2 video.  We would all like to see how to replace the belts, deal with fixing the belt gear, tail rotor assembly, etc.  That would be greatly appreciated.  You done the co-axial, the FP, why not the CP heli next   When you have the time of course.

The only problem I see with the setup vidio is that the extent is used for servo throw not to stop rotation the sensitivity is for that and it just is adjusting the motor mixer. Everyone of the receivers I have seen that does affect rotation with the extent gets to be very flakey that probably explains why the #1 dip is in the opposite direction On mine and many others I have seen if you turn the extent very much past 6 oclock position it gets very hard to control even the manuel says that is what the extent is for.

First, I would like to thank Nuttcaze for the very informative video's, very helpful.
Second, I need some help diagnosing a possible bad receiver on my Blazing Star. When I first received my BS it worked fine, however after a couple of crashes the rotors no longer rotate. When I give the rotors throttle nothing happens, but at about 3/4 throttle the green led on the receiver goes red. I have checked the motors they work when I apply voltage to them, and I checked voltage at the motor pins on the receiver, which goes from 0v closed throttle to 5.96v full throttle.  The two servos do respond when activated with the transmitter. Could I have a receiver issue, and if so does anyone know where I can purchase one? Xheli.com is out of stock, is there another receiver I could replace the original one with?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Since you know how to check voltage you must have some electronic skills take the circuit board out of the cover on the back side it may take a magnifing glass but on the other side of where you plug your motors in you will find a circuit tracer about a 1/4 of an inch from the edge check and see if that tracer isn't burned or otherwise disscolored if it is it will eventually burn in half your motor reading should be about 6 to 6 1/2 volts solder it back together. After that is done check and see where the wire's from the battery are soldered alot of the defective one's I have repaired have them soldered to a motor post or to a mosfet they should be side by side on the circuit board. If you don't want to repair it akent got one from xheli that worked out fine for him. Ray

You Rx's MOSFET sounds like it is blown from all the backlashing of the crashes.  When you get the new Rx, consider installing two 5 amp ATO fast blow mini blade fuses.  You will need some soldering experience.  Splice the Pink (positive wires) between the motors and the Rx.  Insert type "F" electrical disconnects.  Then insert the fuses in between.
