Status: offline 		I did make a set but I was never really happy with them. If I left the screws loose enough to allow the blades to pivot, the tracking was awful. When I tightened the pivot enough to get the tracking, I lost the advantage of pivoting blades. I never did try my modified "grip" with Xtreme blades. That might have worked. At worst it's a fun way to spend an afternoon and burn through a bucket of busted blades.
The Esky Lama uses a simple and light-weight plastic grip and they work well. So the concept is valid. I just never got it to work satisfactorily.

I know this is off the subject but I have a problem with my newer CX2. I've been flying for a year and thought I knew everything there was to know about a CX2, but I'm stumped. A couple weeks ago I wanted to do a comparison between my modified CX2 and a stock one to see if my modified one with the Max 180 motors was drawing more current than the stock out of the box version. So I anchored each to the bench and did tests of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full throttle and measured the amps drawn. The modified one with the Xtreme 180 motors drew about 10% more current than the stock. Thought that explained my shorter flight times.

OK the next time I went to fly the stock machine it wouldn't even lift off with full throttle! Checked with another fully charged battery. If I watch the 3 in 1 led it turns red just above half throttle. Is that normal?Do you think I burned out the controller by running it at high speed on the bench therefore overheating it. I tried changing the motors to a stock set that I know is good and it made no difference. I'm sure I have no friction or vibrations and the tracking is good.

You've always been a help to me. I'd like to get back in the air!
