Or if i should just get another stock motor. Any input is GREATLY appreciated......TY

I have over 100 flights(hover) no sign of any where on anthing except repairing after crash:DOH

I just pulled the motor out and the bottom bearing is in pieces .......... Yes i am contacting horizon it seems I may have a lemon I have replaced every electronic on the heli except the motor and reciever so far and would rather not put any more $$ into this thing if i don't have to.

Horizon should warantee that, the brushless motor should last for years and years of use 1000's of flights.

OK so i said screw it and i bought a t-rex 450 se v2 ............ since i already have all the electronics I need ............... I'm still gonna fix the b400 but for now I need to get the bad taste outta my mouth that the b400 gave me ........... let's hope the align treats me a little better LOL. Thanks for all of your help!

I just did the same thing. Bought a SA.

ya it does seem that a lot of people are i just went with the se beccause i picked it up for $449.00 free shipping came with motor and esc no battery and has full aluminum head,tail,carbon fiber frame and blades (2 sets) and a aluminum case .................. no need to buy ANYTHING else except repair parts after the very likely crash ...LOL. Thanks again to everyone for all your help with my b400 i'll still be lingering cause I WILL be getting the b400 back in the air sooner than later.:cheers

I just ordered a T-Rex 450SE V2 myself. I found on one Ebay for $225.00 w/o electronics or blades. Got a set of blades at my LHS for $15.00. I'm going to transfer all my electronics motor and upgraded servos over to the T-Rex and see if there is much of a difference. I've gotten pretty good at basic hover and FF with the Blade. I'll check back in from time to time. In the mean time i've ran my Blade on the ol Ebay as a bare bones set up so we'll see what I can get for it.
