Already asked what was about too.
Can you be more specific?
Sounds more like some sort of servo glitch.
Run it on the floor but don't try to hoover it.
Go through the controls and make sure the sliders are centerd.
I think what your saying is the HELI itself is making the half turn and not the rotors.
Check out the belt

no the rotors make a half turn

Come on,
Were not mind readers.
Please let us know exactly what is going on.
Your saying the rotors come to a full stop then make a 1/2 turn.stop again then start spinning the other way?
If that stopped that fast then the blades would have to slip in the grips holding them.
Does the heli drop down?
That can only happen if the motor is changing the direction it's spinning ot the 1/2 twist of the belt is jumping on and off the roller.

when the helicopter is at a full stop on the ground usually after a short hover the blades will spin up and go around the heli once the same way that they would go if im flying it it happens often and only started after i crashed it once into the wall they dont keep spinning

Mine did that with the stock transmitter and receiver, but only indoors. For me, it was some kind of interference.
I suspect that the crystal in your receiver is loose from the crash. So, there's an occasional loss of signal that's causing the glitching.
Try taking out the crystal and putting it back in securely.

If your getting glitches from indoors it can be from a room monitior,your computer, dimmer light switches, florescent lights,
Cable modem boxes, the list is endless.
This is why I peak up my tX for the allowed 3/4 watts.
So if something in the air is only 150 mils then my 3/4 watt will over come it.
I have some helis that are down at the bottom of the band and 3 are near the top but the antennas are the same length so I do my own work and make sure my TX antenna is resonate at the right frequency
So much trash in the air waves today I can't even find a clean area to operate ham radio unless I travel 15 miles.
As for his XTAL they usually kick the bucket when jolted but it's possable he may have developed a hair line crack in the RX
Getting paper work for the RX and TX sure would be a big help.
{EDIT} I meant to ask,how would the XTAL cause the rotor blades stop and start a half turn the other way?

I'm really confused now or getting dummer in my old age.
Here is what you said in the 1st post ~~~>once in a while the blades will make a freak half rotation how can i fix this and is their anything else i should check the blades hurt.
Please explain the FREAK part.
From the 2nd post it seems like UR saying after a short hoover the blades make 1 turn and something happens and they don't spin.
I also had that problem.
It was the ESC after it warmed up.
That controls the voltage to the receiver and that has the ESC plugged into it.
I have 1 sitting right here that also changes rotor speed.
I got another ESC and now the blades really spool up fast and hard and head speed is faster.
Set it on the floor with 0 pitch and half throttle and let it get warmed up and see what happens
Also check that small connector that comes off the battery because they do get warm and those small pins get pitted so I went with all DIN connectors.Vegas/

also check to make sure that your antenna on the heli is not wrapped around the boom, and is away from the RF noise of the motor and power leads. Also check to make sure that there are 3 caps on the main motor.

actually that helped because i have been operating it indoors so mabie their is some interference

You can take it outdoors or turn off the main breaker in the house and every thing will be shut down
