Hey burnout.......I got home from the hospital today.......whew.........man it's good to be home. Now I just have to take it easy for a few days.
Now on to my question, I know somebody that has the Black Dragon motor from Astroid for sale and he only has about 10 flights on it. do you know anything about these motors ? Would it be a good choice for my BL build on my MSRX ? I can get it for around $18 if it would be good for my build. I could send it along with my board to you. But i don't want to buy it to save money if it wouldn't be a good choice for a MSRX. Anybody else that knows anything about this motors please chime in and give me any info you can. Thanks

I woudln't put a powerful motor like that on the mSRx. No point. If you want more response, upgrade to a CP like the mCPx. The mSRx is crashably light and small, a black dragon motor will likely need a really extended boom to get the tail to hold, making it bigger and heavier more prone to breaking.
Really worth it to get the HP03 conversion to save on future motor replacements and get longer flight times/more zip etc, but anything more seems like a waste to me. |

Black Dragon has too much horsepower for this application, as has already been stated.........

I already have 2 MCPX's and 2 MSRX's and had a chance to get that motor for a good price so i thought I would ask. I got my answer....lol But i may still get it and use it on one of my MCPX"s . I am going to do a BL mod on my V1 MCPX also. I think it would be a much better motor for the MCPX after reading your post. Thanks !

ya, I'd pick it up, sounds like a good price.
Am building a mild bl mcpx for now with same motor thats in msrx so that I dont mash my HP05. WIll prolly be getting a bd or comparable once I'm confident enough that I'm not gonna kill it.

I just got done installing the red RKH frame on my V1 with the red microheli swash ( I put the red RKH swash on my other V2 MCPX ) and got everything done and was tightening the little screw that holds the tail boom tight, and I over tightened it and broke the screw off in the tail holder........ It holds the tail I have in there now tight, but if i ever need to replace the tail boom, I will need another mount, so I just ordered another and while I was at it, I ordered a mount that will hold the 3mm cf rod............just in case i ever decide to go that route. I usually am pretty good at not doing what I just did, but I think my mind has still got some cobwebs from the hospital stay......... yea.....that's the ticket, I'll blame it on that !

Hell if you didnt keep the motor I was gonna suggest you buy it and send it to me LOL.
Glad to hear you're back at home man! Since you've been in I picked up two more heli's and a TX, I think maybe I need to check myself in somewhere too LOL.

Am soldering up a battery lead tonight for my new esc, if I can get to it, will flash it tonight.....likely tomorrow if I'm not sidetracked with this renthouse thing
UPDATE - Flashed another esc I had with BLHeli 4.1, with the same settings that BB indicated at the beginning of this thread and this thing is a freakin' demon now. I almost slammed it into the ceiling with only 1/4 throttle!!!!!! Gonna have to wait to fly it outside as it's dark and its raining at the moment (Texas Gulf Coast) The esc I had was one with the plug already installed that I got from new bee, so I'm gonna try to add the wires and plug onto the first esc that I got from Astroid tomorrow and reflash it as well. Dylwad must have put the "main" flash on it instead of "tail" because its night and day (there had been some confusion, my fault, on what flash I wanted when I ordered it). Anyway, that was what the problem was

Also, I didn't do the first part in terms of software flashing, just did the settings on the gui and saved that file for later use. Seemed to work ok, but I havent taken it outside b/c of weather.

Now keep in mind you're running the 13,500 motor... I'm trying to get the 16,600 LOL. I can't imagine but I gotta find out! I'm gonna run it with a dual tail like the mCP X guys do.

Using an xp-7a? What model is the 16k motor? Hmmmmmm....I smell another project (my wife is laughing at me on the other side of the bed). She just asked me how many helis I already have (seven)..........hehehehe
I'd assume I'd use the tail flash for the xp7a as well, correct? You planted a bug in my head............now that bug needs to wait till I have the cash.

Yup, I've already got it on order... I may run XP-7A on BL Heli Tail but I may just double FET my 3A instead.

Finally took this thing out for a spin, 4 packs:
All I can say is that HH should have made this an option from the factory. Half the time when I used to crash this thing, it was for not enough power to get out of a situation....no longer. I was going from spinning up on the ground to sixty feet in less than three seconds. Reminds me of the people that used to stuff a v8 in a volkswagen back in the day. Absolutely crazy.............................................

The plan was to do it EXACTLY like mine and koi's are now. BUT we could always hot rod it up a bit with a 15,800 or 16,600 motor... I'd recommend the 13,500 though to start... it's really no slouch at all.
