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.

The current firmware on the q-base esc is 1.24. I can't find a way to update it more.

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.

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!

Hey inferno, just curious, why you trying to charge them together?

Mike D.

my charger only charges one at a time, will be faster at track to charge both at same time.

I've got an extra charger, a venom pro charger plus that you can borrow if you want.
