Hey pischla, once you get the belt drive going tell us how the heli performs. I recently received my heli and had problems getting it off the ground. Ended up loosening up the gearing on the tail at both the motor end and tail rotor end and started to get some better movement. After going over the heli before its next flight I found that the plastic cog nearer the motor had started to deteriorate, so I got that replaced. Next the Carbon fibre Tail shaft rod broke. I know it only a $5 item to replace however I already sick of the tail rotor issues that have been plaguing me .

If the belt drive ends up being any good I might invest some $$$$ and upgrade.

Also, has any one purchased any Li-po batteries for their #35. I saw a seller on E-bay (Happy-buy) selling the 1800Ma 11.1v battery and charger for around AUD$65. Has any one bought any of these Li-po's and are they reliable. My stock standard Ni-cads last for 4 Min which is enough for me to check if every thing is OK then they go flat.

Smadadet, I left you this on the 36 string:

I just ordered a belt drive conversion kit from HeliDirect. They are $55 + shipping. It has some CNC parts included with it. Havent got it yet but it loks good. I havent heard of anybody having trouble with the belt drive system-the conversion kit on the #35 or the #36 stock system.
