two things to watch for...(1) thrust bearing races: large hole inboard, small hole outboard, ball carrier installed to 'catch the grease'... and (2) step-washer: step against the inner race of radial bearing...ken

I am kinda like Rainman....Smart but real dumb! I will have to consult to (heavens oh no!!) the manual to know exactly what you are talking about. I know parts by names like: shiney flat thing with a dong, squishey round thing that goes on first, this stack goes on after that stack...Hehehe I am serious though!

I really would not expect you to explain it any better than you did. It's my demon! I will tame it or kill it...

Off the subject......So, I am ready to drink some morning Joe. The kids finished the milk, my girl finished the emergency powdered cream in the silo sized round drum(coffee mate)...I get smart and think that if I pour the coffee into the drum, I will at least get some cream in my coffee. So I do....Shake a little bit to maximize dispersion and BOOOOMM! lid blows off like an M80 went off inside the drum, I have coffee on my clothes, face....and oh look, It's all over the ceiling!! I had to go reassure my dogs(whimpy but cute Chihuahua's) that ran out of the house via a doggie door, that i wasn't going to hurt them.....

Good morning!

Fly to Chill, check with Castlerock Hobbies. They sell a Danlion motor that is supposed to be the best bang for the buck or so I have been told.

Hi everyone,

What does the group think. I am still using the stock E-Sky battery charger. Am I damaging my batteries using it? I intend to buy a better charger but not in the budget quite yet.

I've used the Walkera G3(?), some other brand, and the E-Sky.....the E-Sky seems to do the better job (IMO).

Hey this is that ol crazy Vet guy Rick again, hope alls well, for this guy not so hot just set a letter to Channel 5TV helpline, asking why jive outfits like Health Partners can cut someone off who not only a low paid public servant, non Officer just lowly f......streetworker can be cut off for missing one pmt. of 70 bucks while on winter layoff, usta be once called back they would just take the cash from payroll, sad thing thing is my wife is a cancer survivor, and diabetic, I am thank God OK, sadly have been a client of this sorry a...outfit many years, if I were an imigrant,or on welfare I could get all the help I need, what the F... is up with America!
Hey I am trying to upgrade my HBK to some extent, if there is anyone who might be able to donate some extra parts, I would appreciate it cause now my dream seems to get further & further away with each paycheck! n Yeah, I'm an ex Trucker too! wish lists: CNC rotor head, better blades, or even an this may be pushin the askin thing a bit but what the heck: a real gas Chopper, what ever I am able to do I'm nameing it the RC Universe Chopper 1. 1 in honor of the the hard core Big Red One, RCUC in homage to you guy's who have helped this thing happen! WE need a TV show like Jesse James did with Custom Choppers, I think this Heli thing is a big deal, much more than I did before finding a link one day, after so many years, I finally got one too! "So now todays a good day!"

Hey Jim, I still use the esky chargers (ten of them) and haven't experienced any negative effects on any of my batteries. The big drawback is when you go to charge the larger batteries it will take forever and a day but I do not believe they will damage a battery.

That's good to know Rusty. Batteries are expensive and I want to treat them the best I can. I just installed a Castle Creations 35 BEC that has a low battery detector. I set it for 9 volts. Hope that is ok.

I personally run mine a little higher for protection, 9 is the lowest they recommend on most batteries. I never fly real big batteries so I set my flight times at 5 minutes no matter how they are flying. I run 10 esky charger on a board and can charge 10 batteries in a little over an hour depending on the battery and at 5 minutes per, it gives me almost an hour of flight time every time I go out. I am mostly running the esky stockers and 1250's and from time to time run the outrage 1800's which are really heavy but have serious power. Other than a few megapuffers, I have not replaced a battery for any reasons other than crashing. I have about 60 bucks in the chargers, granted I cannot monitor a bunch of data but it makes up for it in volume of batteries per hour charged, lol.

Agreed.....a bunch of E-Sky chargers in a row, it's a good thing especially since I have 5 2200mAh 25C's, they take a while.

Anyone got the scoop on the E-Sky 8G servos? I heard they will be discontinued and a crappy 7.5 to replace. These 8G's hold up fairly well (compared to S-75's or HS-55's) and at $7.00 ea...they're great. If they are discontinued....I'll have to find one the same price, and quality as the E-Sky 8G's...I love 'em (use 'em in foamie planks, any heli up to a 450...they're great).
