Total cost involved for rebuild------16 BUCKS!!! WooHoo!!! That dang Blade CP I started with would have cost me twice that easily.......

armycopter, heres a suggestion to clean up your tail servo wire/gyro wires, and whatever else you wanna do. wrap your wire around a small screwdriver neatly, and pull it tight. tight enough so that theres no slack on it, but not enough to break the wires. let it go, and the wire should be all nicely coiled up like this. cuts down on room to store wires, and looks way cleaner! the servo wire is just simply twisted up, just so i didnt have extra wire floating around. this seems to be better than coiling for the head servos, because it takes up less room, and you dont need to shorten the wires that much.
