RE: New Heli

Maybe the motor is spinning backwards or the blades are on upside down. Either one of these conditions would cause this.

Only guessing but the 2801 is an 8 ch tx. The rx in the 180z is a 4 ch. You are probably wanting the rx (and the helicopter) to do more than is possible. To get the full use of this tx you will...

RE: need a bit of help....

my guess is you need a new tail motor. When they start wearing down you get a slow speed. They are fairly cheap... around $10 plus shipping

RE: Recommended online shops

ClubHeli is my personal choice www.ClubHeli.com/. They treat customers with a great deal of respect. Wow Hobbies is the one I stay away from, because I had a real bad experience from them.
