Does anyone have a link to the Blade CPP dual tail motor conversion? I think I've bought my last stock tail motor.

i got mine from ebay here is a link to it. just installed it. i used allen bolts and lock washers to hold the plate to where the stock motor would sit. the added hard ware and extra motor has caused my cg to be way way way off. so i cant fly untill i get some lead weights. but from just spinning it on the ground. it has way more then enough power for the cp or the cpp

there is 4 pics you can look it. these are pics from the ebay listing. im to lazy to find the digi, snap a pic, host it, then post it..also the plate it self is metal on one side so it also acts like a heat sink and from what the ebay guy said helps to reduce radio noise..

go brushless tail, you'll save money in the long run

i did it to mine and it works great but it throws the center of gravity way off. I have to get my battery as far forward as possible to try to get it balanced.
I'm going with a brushless as soon as I get done with my mx400.

CNC mounts are very heavy and near impossible to balance. The lighter systems are made from PCB or CF plates. A light setup is solderin the cans together.
This is my dual tail mount.

The CNC twin tail mounts work fine. And as far as weight not a problem dont foreget 2 motors will increase weight. I flew this option for months
before going to a brushless tail. I think the pc boards will probally break after a couple of crashes.
And besides dont foreget the bling factor.....the CNC brings.

They dont break. I've crashed many times. I bought a blank circuit board, drilled holes using a stock tail housing as template and cut to shape. I rotated the housing using the motor shaft as pivot holes to mark two motor screw and cenetr holes.
I'd like to see a pic of a balanced cnc dual tail with a 1000mah lipo or smaller please.

I have done it with a TP910 & TP1320. Its funny here you say you have
a dual tail you love and @ RR you say you love your DD set up. Which is it. Sounds like you dont have a clue. Whats next you have a brushless tail and love it. Giving info to people is suppose too help, not leave them wondering.
P.S. Where is your pic of you even trying a CNC twin tail.

I switch between tails. I do this to evaluate each tail type so that I can give people feedback on whichever tail they prefer. Of course I have my own preference. But for those who inquire about a specific tail type, I can provide first hand experience. I have a belt tail kit coming in so I can cover that area too.
You see Biggame121, I have no motive. Whereas you are trying to make a sale. I am not lambasting your cnc tail. I am just pointing out common feedback that I was provided when people come to me for help. RStacey invited me here for a reason. I come to assist and not get intoanyone's way. So please, hold the attitude.

How do I have an attitude. Did I ruin your game or something.
