Well, I finially put the Himax 2015-4100 on my HB CP2 and what a difference! I don't have an 8t pinion yet so I went with the 9t from the stock 370 motor. The head speed is much faster than the stock motor. With zero pitch the head speed is 2400 at full throttle which I know is too fast. I am going to order an 8t and I am still looking for a supplier for a 7t in the US. Any help with a 7t supplier would be appriciated.
The heli seemed much more stable. I have 0-10 degrees of pitch in normal mode and it boggs at full pitch. I am hoping that the correct pinion will help that. The other problem is I got 3 glitches in 3 flights. I am using the CC Phoenix 10 with the 1.51b firmware. Anyone having similar issues?
I was hoping for increased power over the stock motor and not having to keep replacing burnt up motors.......the Himax 4100/phoenix 10 combo make it a new helicopter. Once I get the glitch problem solved it will be really good.

Did you go full separates or just tie in the BL esc? Are you thinking of BL for the tail?

I just tied the Himax motor and Phoenix 10 with the 4-in-one. I don't have any plans to convert the tail motor to brushless.

The tail's what I want BL. Mine flies fine with the main. Just figure I'll burn out the tail eventually so I might as well be prepared. Already built a motor for it so I can tie it in when I need it.

You mean you hacked into the Rx of the 4 in 1 throttle chanel for the Phoenix 10, right?

What size is the shaft on that motor? Same as stock?

The Himax 2015-4100 has a 2mm shaft which is the same size as the stock brushed 370 motor.
