I recently upgraded my Blade CX2 with the SL71 motors from BLADECX.COM. The performance was little short of spectacular. However after running a couple of batteries through the heading lock gyro in the 3 in 1 unit (eflite P/N:EFLH1023) quit working and the CX2 became hard to control in yaw. The next day my brother, who had gotten a different motor upgrade from somewhere else, experienced the same failure. Has anybody else had this problem?
I replaced the 3 in 1 and drilled cooling holes in the case. I also relocated it to below the the tray (same level as the battery) to try to get it away from the heat of the motors which , incidentally, have a heat sink installed.
