OT - I couldn't resist the urge during all the sales, so I bought myself a little present

I have had it about 3 months,just hadn't much time to fly it.Now we need to figure out how to mix reef tanks with rc helis.MTRC has a thread on rc planes and helis.

Start the DIY drop buckets for the heli's and we can use them to feed the fish on fly by's
:nerd:

Here is the helicopter I picked up and been toying with. It's a blast it does well in up to 5mph winds

And the newest hobby I've picked up and doing REAL slow

 

[dzones]

That thing looks more like a UFO lol.

I have a lot of train stuff here that I started getting into about 5-6 years ago and just never had time. It is still in the boxes, I have like 2 full sets and a lot of extra track, scenery etc. Just preparing for when I get a little older and retired lol.

I usted to do a lot of traveling and rc racing with on road and off road cars. I found this place for practice battts and for the play toys. good prices and good quality for the money. HobbyKing RC Plane, Car, Heli, Boat and MultiRotor Hobby Store. those micro lipo packs you guys are running in those helies are like $0.99, Are those helies 3d?

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

They are not 3d. Did you race the 1/10th scale.I had a traxxas 4-trac that ran stock at 75 mph,after switching motors and gearing it was said it should run around 90 mph.Never had a speed gun to test it.

Gotta love the RC hobby. I have to say I will never buy another helicopter with a side mounted rear motor. I can never get it trimmed. Also on the cheaper side, I got the air hogs extreme actives stunt RC car. The little thing is a blast and super quick! As well as their micro helicopter, its about 3 inches long and flies really well.

I have some of the micro turnigy batteries. I will be doing a mod that allows me to use those batteries in this heli. Ok, so the mods are about to start.

I get the same question at work. You think I would mod a brand new RC helicopter?? I mean it is brand new! Ok, so maybe I haven't modded yet because I don't have all the parts. The modifications are coming soon.

 

[TechDiver]

The heli mods have started. Can you spot the mod in this picture?

How about now?

 

[TechDiver]

The real mod is the MSR paddles for better outdoor flight in the wind. I tried it tonight and it does much better.

 

[SNAKEMANVET]

Ok,now you got to upgrade the motor to carry it.lol fly bars look good.I may need to try that mod.

I just cut off the flybar ends and balanced it with the paddles. The motor upgrade will be after I wear this one out. I already have one picked out.
