I hope nothing is wrong. CRAP!:arggg:

I flew today and noticed that it wasn't as powerful as before. It could still climb and had the duration for 10mins of flight but somehow it was a different bird. I tried to put the trim up to half way to get some power but no use. Even when I went into Idle up mode I still didn't notice a difference. Could my Lipo be dying already. I only have 15-20 flights on it or less. I only charge at .6 amps each time and but back about 560mAh in a 1250mah pack after about an hour of charge. I didn't charge it after i flew. Im scared its going to blow.

Anybody now whats going on. What should I do? I hope I don't get fireworks next time I charge.:(

Thanks :dontknow :arggg: :(

Do you have the stock motor?

I noticed that the stock moter did not last long and would behave the same when it was going on me.

Not sure if this is it, but it is a thought.

yep my money is on the brushed motor the CX motors only last about 40 flights and there is two of them the E-Flight RTF heli's are made just good enough to get you hooked and then it fly repair fly replace fly repair fly replace always something going out that's why I fly a Trex now it's more like fly fly fly fly crash fix fly crash fix fly you will fix more on them then you will replace gotta love them birds. good luck I only hope it's the motor cause you wanted a BL motor anyway right. :wink:

The 8tooth stock motor is still brand new. Only has 10+/- flights on it. I cleaned it and re-oiled it. When I checked it there is still brushes in there about the half the size as it was brand new. hmm. If i keep flying like this would it damage the lipo?
