Dang it.... a NEW gear failure

[Piranha]

Sure Bob, I need a new frame :( new landing gears and mainblades!
Sometimes I'm thinking to change the heli to Trex600 nitro! but I'll not give up:) ANd give another chance for the bird :)

tungym, as far as I know it is impossible to disable lipo LV cut for A123
You can only choose from Hi, Medium and Low option in Align ESC :(

Piranha I have been THIS CLOSE to quiting with this heli trust me!
But I find myself drifting back to working on it again and again for some reason??? WHY I DONT KNOW but I guess it is because I like it for some reason.....
There ARE many better helis for sure but I guess I like to tinker and make something that inst working well into something that does....

I had a problem with the one-way gear coming off mine.
I got a set of Adrians gears but did not install them yet.
After many times of tearing this heli apart I wonder if there is a kit out there that has the full gear train that can be removed from the frame without taking the entire frame apart?
It would be very cool to remove the drive train for the frame as a unit.
If you guys are thinking about a carbon fiber frame maybe you can consider if this is possible.
I'm flying again so thanks a lot Bob & Adrian. :noteworthy

All you need to do to install the 1st gear is undo the set screws in the 1st gears hub near the motor. The shaft will drop down and out of the frame allowing you to pull the 1st gear out the side of the frame.

The main gear is really easy. Just undo the Jesus Bolt and pull the head up to disengage the main shaft from the gear hub. You dont even have to undo the swash links.

F..CK!!!
One more broken landing gear and mainframe due to the autorotation gear failure!!! :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg:

Dang that sucks..... My new gear is going good right now but I have a feeling these may stress over time and eventually crack. My machinest friend things they ned to be hardened better (as they are not hardened very well now). I havent given him one to try yet but plan to.
