![]() Sounds like it could work but may need a negative going signal which you could pickup at the collector of the NPN transistor on the main board that drives the output FET gate.
No guarantees, Don Quote:

![]() TNT, may I make a suggestion concerning your thread here: Seems to me many people are following this thread and using it to convert their own mCPx’s to BL which is great and we all appreciate your info. The problem is it also seems that many people are not reading the entire thread and missing some important troubleshooting suggestions for when the conversion does not work properly. My suggestion would be to edit the first post where you show how to wire the converter and ESC by showing TWO ways that work. 1. Wiring the converter red/blue to the esc red/black and/or 2. Wiring the converter red/blue to the pos + neg board terminals. Also, stating the symptoms of why the alternative is an option such as intermittent throttle, beep only, full throttle only, no tx input to throttle response, etc may help people self-diagnose the problem.

![]() Thanks for all of the advice on the pinion removal/installation. I got the motor and esc today (still waiting on The Steve, so I guess that means I'll get to sleep tonight :-). Below is my Ghetto Pinion Puller - should be good for a chuckle. Its 2 chain link plates from a bike chain, two threaded rods and a 10-32 screw w/ the end turned down to about 1.4mm. I certainly wouldn't want to have to work on anything much heftier than the teeny helimax motor and pinion, but it worked great for that!
I ended up using the drill press method for putting the 9T pinion on. Chucked a small drill bit upside down in the drill press (so the flat end was down), then put the pinion on the table, lined it all up, and pushed w/ the drill bit against the rear end of the motor shaft, and it slid right on smooth as butter. I really like that method, as you can get leverage for the pressing, but you can feel how its all going, and you can pretty easily see if everything is lined up straight. Thanks again for the advice!! |

![]() That pinion puller is brilliant!
Man, there is always someone with a super creative idea to help out others. Never thought of a drill press.....although I also do not own one...but it sounds like a good idea.

![]() Hmm...maybe we can ask the almighty HF forum administrators to help with that. I thought the thread starter could edit but I might be confused with another forum.
Maybe we should just make a BL conversion sticky with tips and tricks.

![]() I will fly and it seams like alot less flight time then with stock setup that the helicopter will just loose motor power in the air unlike the original setup which would get slower before dying. Is this the battery dying or possibly a problem with my 3in1? I ask that because I tred the experiment on my first mcpx which had a couple of funny behaviors which I assume were due to the 3in1 board. One of the behaviors I am speking of is that the tail motor starts spinning before the main motor.

![]() What kind of flight times are folks getting on the helimax BL setup with the 300mah nanotech batts?
One thing I like about the stock setup is at when I'm doing inverted hovering, slow piro, orientation, etc practice, I get surprisingly long flight times with the nanotech batts. |

![]() I get a good solid 4 minutes of idle up flight. No 3d but buzzing back and forth fast as he'll. The packs still seem like they have good power but I stop at 4 min to be easy on my packs. Not sure as to how much is exactly being used as I have no way to test.

![]() On my C05 BL w/8T pinion and 120SR tail mod I get 5 minutes and put back 230-240 mah and the voltage is ~ 3.8V. The first 4 minutes I do flips, rolls and inverted. Then the last minute just fly around as it is down on power a little.
