Well, I'm a offical owner of the awesome TDR!! Can't wait to get it into the air!:peace

Hope it's as good as everyone says it is..It is truely a work of art...Now, I've got to learn this Helicommand 3X Treme..

I'm wanting to order spare parts for it in case the unthinkable was to happen...Could you guys advise crash kit parts that I might need for it...Obviously, boom, gears, links, etc, but is there anything "unique" to the TDR that I might need?

There really is no way to anticipate what will need replacing in a crash and have everything you need.

I keep a spare kit and I could rattle off what I've personally experienced, but my guess is that your first crash would break something completely different.

You may thermal the Jive 120 with that motor. The ventilation under the TDR canopy is very poor, so everything will get hot. Might be a good idea to get one of those J-Cooler thingys.

Welcome to the club dude. I like your canopy.

[G200driver]

Thanks guys..got a JCooler...have to figure out how to remove the heat sink that is installed..

[HilliHeli]

Welcome, you'll Love Her !!!

have to figure out how to remove the heat sink that is installed..

By this do you mean removing the Kontroniks heatsink from the Jive ESC's heatplate (?)

I remember someone else posting about this at one point, if this is the case I would definitely ask questions before even trying to do so. I believe that the Arctic Silver adhesive-compound "WILL NOT" let go (without damage).

The last time I saw that machine it was running close to 128 MPH at the 2011 IRCHA Speed Cup :)

Yes, the Kontronik heatsink....Danny, I assume that you put in on with Artic Silver?? I wasn't about to try getting if off unitl I knew what it was bonded with, and then only when someone who has done it can tell me how..

It is bonded with Artic Silver and I do not suggest trying to take it off. I flew this machine a lot of flights including the Speed Cup runs and never had a thermo shut down. If you are flying in a very hot environ all you need is a relatively small hole in the canopy to get some air circulation. IMO the need for active coolers on these things is overblown for all but the hardest flyers.
