    Status: offline     		Thanks Art103.

    Not sure if the heart can take anymore hairy t/o and landings my b'day today so I might have to order a cable and get some safe practise in

    Im with you Cheatscalc some of the screws holding the rods are to tight which causes the servos to overwork to change pitch I loosen mine till they're moving smoothly keeping the servos cool and it seems to help with the glitches.

    Then again there are some that need tightening as well

    Status: offline     		where are the metal parts from? are they just shogun or Trex parts? <<<<< They're X-400 (Lichann) Parts modify to use with Walkera #36

    What is the heat sink next to the receiver for? Have they move the MOSFET outside the Rx to keep it cool? <<< That heat sink use to modify the original receiver to unlock it. Because walkera's receiver often out of control when you flying. Example : When you hovering for 2-3 minutes sometimes servo will lock to left side of back side and you can't control it. (For original Walkera Transmitter)

    Status: offline     		the 36 is a mix of shogun and TRex parts. If you go brushless and have the esc completly disconnected from the Rx then you'll get no glitches unless there's a cell phone or bad batts. or interferrence. it also keeps the Rx cooler as it has a lot less voltage going through it.

    Status: offline     		Heres a question from me for a change..

    Does anyone know if a motor pinion gear can be obtained for a #36 to suit an Align 400L brushless motor ?

    I have a spare Align 400 and want to build my bare-bones #36 up using this motor, but it has a 3.2mm output shaft, whereas I think the standard Walkera motors are 2.3mm. Is there such a pinion available, or will I have to buy a Walkera motor ?

    If so, any opinions on if there is a better choice than the Walkera Brushless ? It seems people with the Walkera brushless sound pretty happy, but I'd be interested to see what else people are using..

    Status: offline     		you can get a 3.2mm pinion set from http://www.wattsuprc.com.au/product_list.asp?cid=19&offset=40

    But it looks like they are out of stock

    Status: offline     		You can get a range of pinions (2.3mm and 3.2mm) from

    http://www.modelhelicopters.co.uk

    Their website takes some getting used to, but they have a lot of stuff at reasonable prices.
    (Plus decent pictures of parts).

    P.S.
    I don't know if they ship outside the UK.

    Status: offline     		hey you can get 4 pinnions (9,11,13,15, with grub screws) that fit on this motor perfectly (420LF) yes the shaft is a mm longer but go to GRAND RC and go to heli parts, next go to trex 450X and go to pinnions, look of one that says 11?,13?,15? buy that for $4 and you now have 4 pinnions, don't know why they listed 3 and give four though... in any case it fit's perfectly on the walkera gear and probablythe TRex too. go for it, if you live in the us and us usps you'll get it in 2-4 days as it's a us based company.

    Status: offline     		I have just bought one of these heli's as my first electric.

    I'm generally pleased with it, however i have noticed that the main drive gear is starting to produce a whole lot of white dust and the teeth are looking a little worse for wear. Do i have something set up wrong? I thought i had the teeth on the motor pinion set at the right depth on the main gear, but clearly i don't. Can anyone enlighten me on how this should be set properly so that the main gear doesn't wear through.

    Cheers in adavance.
