Status: offline 		I bought a #35 and was getting ready to fly it for the first time. I plugged the supplied battery into the supplied battery charger and left the room. About 45mins later I heard a massive explosion in the room. When I went to investigate, I had to navigate my way through the odour and a bit of smoke. The wall behind where the battery pack was scorched and covered in black soot. One battery cell took of like a rocket and ended up on the other side of the room (about 6 metres). Another cell had taken off vertically and chipped the picture rail on its way to the ceiling (12 foot) were it left a little skid mark. The other seven cells were so hot I could not touch them and some papers near them were almost burnt.
Needless to say my first experience with the whole Walkera thing was crap. I tried contacting the company in China but ended up speaking to no one yet.
If any person knows who I can contact for the company to send me a battery and charger that would be appreciated.
Thankfully my house did not burn down and I still havent flown the chopper.

Status: offline 		LOL sorry! you mean the thing blew up before you even flew it! . I,d be asking for more than a new charger thats for sure, try the company you bought off as i never had any luck with walkera directly but appear to have some through the distibutor although it didnt amount to much other than gobbldegook.
I guess just to be lucky that your house still in one piece and no one got slugged with aq flaming flying battery.

Status: offline 		I just ordered me one, and looking here, maybe I shouldn't have...But it looks better than the other inexpensive electrics out there. Why all the negatives? Anyone care to tell me a horror story? Or maybe a good story.. (I hope)

Status: offline 		Hey everyone, i new here and just thought i would give my opinion about the Walkera Shogun copy. I got one the other day through ebay, i guess its my fault, but the guy claimed it was a shogun 400...Im tryin to get my money back because they are pretty bad, my battery just like Auspilot's blew up after 30min on the charger, never got to fly it...Just by looking at it it isnt very good, nothing was screwed in all the way, my main blades were too tight, the servos werent in right and none of them could be trimmed right without takeing everything apart....Well theres my opinion...
Good luck to everyone with one...
Richie

Status: offline 		Alright well I ordered this Walkera RC Helicopter off hobbyjapan2000.com and got totally scammed this helicopter is total junk. I was even in total contact with the company before during and after I ordered this product the whole time being told about how there defective rate was super low because of how they fly there helicopters three times before being shipped. Well this was also total BS (Bull S@#$!!). First off let me just say that I would never recommend doing business with hobbyjapan2000 they lied to me the whole time about the helicopter as well as charge me for the return postage on the helicopter after a MILLION questions about how the damage to the helicopter was probably my fault. Anyway I am no idiot to helicopters I fly them for the US Army currently so I might be new at the RC world but defiantly not the idea of helicopters and when I got the Walkera it looked great and I was excited about flying it. So being my first time dealing with RC helicopters I went to the local hobby shop because I new the owner and we put it into a weighted stand and turned it on. As soon as we turned on the radio the servos were acting crazy like moving on there own and adjusting pitch on the blades almost like we were getting radio interference from somewhere so we moved to a different location a couple blocks out of town still the same thing was going on. After about 10 min of just letting them freak out they started to calm down so we felt comfortable about seeing if we could get the Walkera to flight speed. Keep in mind this is still in the weighted mount and it was a good thing to because we didn’t so much as have the helicopter to 1/3 of its flight speed when it started vibrating so bad we thought it was going to flip the mount on its side. So we put it back to idle and called it a day I have packed it up and am now trying to get my money back but having to fight about that also. If we would have let that helicopter get to full flight speed or even half for that matter it would have shaken its self apart it was not only a safety risk but not what I agreed to when I ordered it, so this “ready to fly” helicopter was far from it. My recommendation is to avoid the Walkera as well as Hobbyjapan2000 all together save yourself some time, money and the headache of dealing with a bad company. Hope this helps.

Status: offline 		A good servo wouldn't twitch by itself unless it has absorbed impacts from crashes. Next time if you receive the helicopter with twitching servos which indicate the helicopter isn't brand new. It's probably a demo or returned merchandise.

The other place you want to avoid buying helicopters from is RCMACHINE on eBay or RC-Expert.com.
