I have the MCX2...getting better with it...but I wouldn't try it outside much. The wind sends it all over. Maybe if I changed the tail on it and get better with it.....

a few guys told me if you tape a nickle to the under side its alot easier to handle. makes it a little heavier and stable

cool, I might have to try that out. It's not bad, but it's so touchy with the radio that came with it.
Mike D. 07-07-2011, 11:11 AM i still need a gyro and radio system for the 450. but it will be a while before im ready for that...LOL

Thanks for the help Casey! I'm hoping this will fix the connection problem I'm having with the Mamba.
The current firmware on the q-base esc is 1.24. I can't find a way to update it more.

when you hook it up to the ESC and open castle link it should throw a pop up that there is a update avalible

LOL.... i called sonny yesterday to ask him about the radio for the 450 heli but no awnser, but think i found my awnser, i need a 6 channel, the only way a 4 channel will work is if its a fixed pitch.

He probably didn't recognize your number. I'll talk to him tomorrow and give him your number, remember Chris at CD Hobbies is the ultamate source.

called chris also, lady working said he would call me back with in the hour and no call back. think im getting the dx6i radio and rx.
Good radio, and with all the bind and fly stuff out there it's versatile. When you get into the bigger stuff must people goto futaba.
Mike D. 07-08-2011, 11:34 PM Good radio, and with all the bind and fly stuff out there it's versatile. When you get into the bigger stuff must people goto futaba.
its the same size as sonny's electric one, dont want to spend the money on futaba when i will only be flying it for 30 seconds or so...LOL
Sonny has a 450 electric and a 550 electric and a 600 nitro.
He flew the 600 and 550 at the track, Chris also flew a 550.

Is yours a 450 or 550?
OH, mine is a 450, i thought thats what soony had at the track.....might need to sell it and get a 550:)
I have a 450 that I've tore up momas plants with trying to hover.
Mike D. 07-08-2011, 11:48 PM I have a 450 that I've tore up momas plants with trying to hover.
LOL, whats the biggest heli they make? thats what i want:)
Not sure, but I know they make a 700 kit heli. I believe there are some custom jobs out there that are like 1/5 or 1/4 scale. BIG!
Mike D. 07-09-2011, 12:05 AM this one is 54 inches long and runs on 2- 6S lipos...LOL

You tube has some good vids on large helis.
I googled largest rc heli and found some good ones. Just don't know how to post links or vids from the iPad, or desk top for that matter.

Mike D. 07-09-2011, 12:37 AM does anyone know when you run 2 7.4v lipos in series with y adaptor can you charge both at the same time with y adaptor on 4S setting??
tipperjackson 07-09-2011, 09:06 AM Inferno, I found this information, I don't really understand it, but it might help you with your question.....LOL!

JJ did you say you had a friend?:confused:
Has any body talked with Ice this summer? Is there a chance he will make a race?

thanks tipp, looks like it can be done, just dont know if I have to use the balancer? i dont have one of those fancy balance plugs that comes from 2 and goes to 1
Revo-lution 07-09-2011, 11:48 AM Hey inferno, just curious, why you trying to charge them together?
Mike D. 07-09-2011, 11:54 AM Hey inferno, just curious, why you trying to charge them together?
my charger only charges one at a time, will be faster at track to charge both at same time.
Revo-lution 07-09-2011, 11:59 AM I've got an extra charger, a venom pro charger plus that you can borrow if you want.
Mike D. 07-09-2011, 12:03 PM I've got an extra charger, a venom pro charger plus that you can borrow if you want.
thanks, but i just bought a couple 4S lipos, now i can just charge at home before race and not have to worry about it at track.

That's funny, I was gonna tell you the same thing. I'm broke from paying everyone to talk to me on here.
Well went throu the truggy last night, all diffs new fluid, new o rings and fluid in shocks, adjusted gear mesh, good to go. Well maybe I should change the glow plug? It's the same one I ran all last year, and motor still runs good.
Inferno, talked to sonny today he said call any time, if he doesn't answer leave a message and he'll call back.
