been looking around for a slick forum and lucked up on this one boy am i glad just got cx2 baby today got the manual off line and read in cover to cover for a week before I got it my first by the way been into gas boats big time got hooked one day at tha hobby shop got to stay the heck out of that place I"ve got it on charge as I write this I've looked at a lot of the post I know were I'm going with it I will be ordering a few things right away like extreams v3 core landing gear' bodys no bling just going to mod it to fly fast and long this is going to be fun as hop up parts are so much cheaper than gas boats and no pond needed been also looking at carring case know of any good ones well I just wanted to let you guys know another cx2 in the mix will let you know how the first flight went

this is just my 2 cents, but I had the same mind set as you seem to have when I got mine. I started buying the first items I found and didn't do much research, which was a mistake. after doing more research and reliezing I could do most mods myself I felt pretty stupid and pretty broke. If you want to get it flying fast then there are cheaper and better ways then buying the V3 core, I know, I bought that and it sucked.

my current setup is kinda home made but it works and is all a copy of stuff that is forsale. not everything is home made though,
I am running new blade grips

I am also running the cnc frame but that isn't neccesary to get to go fast and have a stable heli, but I would get it if you brake the plastic frame.

the key to really getting these little birds to go is having a extended inner shaft, so you don't get blade strike, and moving the linkage to 3rd or 4th hole on the servo arm. BEWARE: moving the linkage out makes the heli alot harder to fly and alot easyer to crash. I'm sure you will find out what I mean.

I would get these inner shafts to use

what I made is simular to these.

I hope these links get you going in the right direction. the guys at boomtown hobbies are the best you will ever talk to about this stuff.

You realize that we also sell a folding blade conversion? It's up to you what parts you buy, but it seems to me you could save yourself quite a bit of money by ordering everything from one place.
