So with the non bullet blades, my hp05 mcpx is rock steady until I give it some cyclic input then it shakes. So I got a micro heli swash to fix the issue and ordered it Sunday night and it still isn't here. I hate what usps is doing and I can't wait for them to shut down entirely. First class mail is complete sh*t.

I'll bet a bacon emoticon that the cnc swash is not going to fix the issue...


I had a similar occurrence and the solution was much easier

A bad grip bearings or a cracked main hub will also cause that problem along with a the weights missing from the tip of one of the bullet blades.

Since I've been doing the one-up and two-up main blade mods, I've had a few heli's with a distinctive shake/shudder/wobble characteristic...

Stock brushed mCPX with extended tail and 130X main blades...new head assembly, everything tight, nothing visibly wrong...

And the problem totally disappears with a battery change

It's not the same scenario, but think about it...you are taking the mCPX to a whole new level with a brushless up grade...just as I do with a main blade swap...

So battery discharge becomes a huge variable

It could very well be...

I'm using the Oversky 300mAh 45C and some of the older ones just don't measure up

The best C-rating I've seen in a larger capacity is the Lectron Pro 600mAh 35C

But I've used the Oversky's on brushless conversions and just settle for slightly under 3 minute flight times

Just depends on whether you want a Frank Shorter marathon or a Usain Bolt sprint

lol. ill do intermediate 3d for 4.5 mins on this battery. a 600 45c will probably be about the same and make up for the weight in the discharge power.

Like I said...I doubt you will find 600mAh in a 45C

Yeah I saw that...

"Blade SR" in the title and the listing is pretty much a dead giveaway...
