View Full Version : things that could make the heli better!

Finally was about to get a few constructive flights with this heli. I"m only running the heli at 2000rpm on a 1500w silverbullet. Decent power with cheap 2500mah evolites. I would dare say good power just like the 600N on 15% nitro. The inverted climbouts are pretty peppy. I have a number of upgraded parts on the heli like frame/battery stiffner and trex tail mod. If and when the newer version is released hopefully the heli will fly much better right out the box.

1.) I would love to see a carbon fiber frame that has bearing blocks that holds the bearings for the transmission parts and head and battery holder to hold a single 6s 3200mah pack. (Looks like readyheli may have us covered on this one)

2.) Better ball links. Gaui ones are crap! It doesn't cover the threads and then you have ream them with a ball link tool to make the heli move smoothly. on all my Trex's I didn't even have to ream any of them.

3.) Mount for the gyro. My logictech 6100t doesn't have a complete place to mount. It has two spots on each side with no contact to the frame. I saw red_z06 made a homemade plexiglass mount which is a good idea.

4.)better canopy mount or mount position

5.)white skidds. prefer white skidds because its easier to see. Tho I guess the black ones look better with a red canopy

6.)more painted canopy choices and the plastic canopy is a joke! Gaui go grab a raptor, trex, or hirobo plastic canopy to get some advice there!

7.) Some servo wheels like what Align has made so we can get it perfected easier.


I'm sure there are many other things that can be done. Maybe if everyone chime in people would notice and things could be fixed up for us. I still like this heli,its awesome for the size and go get this thing to 3D decently is not costly. But it can be better!

I have seen this mentioned several times but have been unable to find the stiffner at any of the shops, could someone point me in the right direction please?

ReadyHeli in Florida, US was selling a frame stiffner.

I'd like to see the tail booms and main frame keyed to avoid any issues with getting the tail rotor straight up and down.
