Status: offline 		Hey Del,

Concerning the TX MODE #1 (right throttle) To change the TX to MODE #2 (throttle on the left) there is also a thread on the Dragonfly #36 forum that explains it. In short take the back cover off, change the hardware spring & tension metal piece from right to left side. Then unplug the two center connector plugs from the main board and switch them. Lastly, move the #5 micro switch on the back of the TX to the right (on) to reverse the servo that was switched. I hope this helps. I have switched 2 #36's, the two #60's I received from HK are MODE 2, which I told the seller when I paid for the units.

I know there are sites out there that explain the formulas and even the Hacker site has formulats and pinion combos.

Oh right I said it backward more teeth more head speed.

I had that motor, (funny when you look at the link the top piture looks red and the bottom one looks that puple pink ish color.) That s the one that burned on me and they sent me the gold one. They said the gold one is more expensive and better. It works good too.

The TX's are different if you have the new 7 channell for the number 60.
They cannot be switched. I had the same problem and they sent me the instructions to switch them but it could not be done.
They agreed and sent me a new TX.

Tp2100 is great battery 75.00 but then you would needto buy a battery charger for 50.

Just stay stock till you decide your hooked for good.

Status: offline 		Hi again,

Regarding the pinion/motor issue.

I'm a bit pissed now.
I got answer from Walkera. They put the wrong motor in the box. The motor I got was the wk-ws-28-005 with a KV rating of 1900 (meant for the Walkera 49 and not the 60).
They should have put the wk-ws-28-003 in the box. This one has a KV rating of 3100. It really shows their quality control - or lack of it.
I wrote back to Walkera explaining that I expect them to send me the correct motor free of charge.
I got 3 sets with wrong motors, so I really expect them to solve the problem.
Now I just worry if the 40A ESC they sent me will work with the new motor.

I am also thinking of just go to a local shop and get the allign 430 motor.
Will the Walkera 40A brushless ESC would work with the Align motor or would I need to get an Align ESC also?

I got another mail from Walkera. It seams that there is a new 60 on the way to the market.
I'm not sure about the motor, as Walkera now claims that the motor I got can be used anyway.

See the mails below and judge by yourself: (Read from bottom and up)

Dear Heine,
Our expert says our wk-ws-003 is being under testing ,it is our new product for special use for our new HM60#,not for your HM60#,so pls don't worry about it.
Pls excuse me for my poor english, make you misunderstand me.WK-ws-28-005 can use for HM60 of yours,now our new product HM60# has not been put
into market.40A speed controller can work with all 380 brushless motor and 180brushless motor,pls don't worry about it.
Thanks and hope you have a nice weekend!
Best wishes!
yours,
Lucy

Dear Lucy,

Thanks for your mail.

I'm sorry to hear you put the wrong motor in the box.
I ordered 3 sets of Walkera 60 with brushless setup.

You sent me the 3 Walkera 60 and the 3 sets of 40 A esc and 3 sets of brushless 380L 1900 (wk-ws-28-005).
So it looks like your factory sent me the wrong engine. It should have been the wk-ws-28-003.

How do we fix this?

I expect you can send me 3 sets of wk-ws-28-003 free of charge. Please also send the 14T, because it was also missing in the shipment.
I can then send the wk-ws-28-005 motors back to you.
You sent me the 40A esc. Will this work with the wk-ws-28-003 motor or only with the wk-ws-28-005?

I am looking forward to your answer and hope for a quick solution.

All the best.

Kind regards,

Heine

Dear Heine,
Good day!
Today i have consult our expert about the gear,the 380L 1900( wk-ws-28-005) brushless motor has 15 teech, not 14 teech.
This number cann't be used in HM60#,it should be 380L 3100 ( wk-ws-28-003) brushless motor.and it allocate 14 teech.
And our expert says 380L 1900( wk-ws-28-005) only used in HM 49#.
It is a technical problem for me,so i don't which one to use,pls excuse me.and also don't know which helicopter you need to use for the motors.
So i tell you about this,hope it can help you in time.
HM60 can use 380 brushless motor.The number is 380L 3100 ( wk-ws-28-003) gear 14 teech,so the gear is right for you,but not the brushless motor.
Kind regards!
Respectfully yours,
Lucy

Status: offline 		Heine, it shoud work.

When Walkera replaced my walkera brushless motor they sent the gold one. Let me know if your new one is gold when you get it. I think the esc they sent was only a 30A esc. But I junked it and bought an $85.00 Phoenix 35A.

I have the computer link for the Phoenix and just felt better about programing it and being sure it was set to brake off and the ability to turn on governor mode.

When I finish building my Trex I'll know how the Align motor is. I got an align esc with it. I have not really looked at it much except to solder the connections on. but it is the new motor they ship with the TRex. I think it is a 4330 Kv or something.

Ok I ordered the DX6 and it should be here wednesday, cool. What do I need to set it up? Did you switch out the servos too? Did you have to program the ESC? Did you just change out the receiver? Any tips you can tell me about setting this up so I will be trouble free? LOL

Thanks all is appreciated.
