RE: Trex 450xl vs Hirobo xrb

RE: Silicone Tire Seal

YOu could try it, but I doubt that you'd have a lot of success with it. Are you glueing your tire completely to the rim, or spot glueing it? If you run a continuous bead all the way around, then seat...

RE: Draganfly IV anyone a pro yet?

I've been flying mine for over a year now, and of all the helis I own ( and yes, I have quite a few) the DF IV is by FAR the easiest one to learn on, the easiest one to fly and the cheapest to...

RE: Rock crawler tires

snOwrider, you're right that some guys are using Big Joes for crawling; you're wrong when you say EVERYONE is. They are not bad, but there are a lot of "not bad" tires for serious rock crawling. Are...

RE: What the??????

RE: Locking the TLT-1

Actually, there are more options than JBweld and silly putty. For the center diff, you can replace the balls with traaxas slipper pegs and get the same lock-up as JB Weld, and it's reversable. Silly...

RE: RE: RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

The problem with ground effect is that it is never a stable place to hover, and never will be. In it, your heli behaves like a marble balanced on the upturned bottom of a round bowl; it slips off to...

RE: RE: RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

Good to hear! Now all you need is stick time. Just a suggestion; fly for a battery, then rest you head and your thumbs while it charges. There is nothing that causes "dumb thumbs" faster than trying...

RE: Draganflyer Owners, I Need a Favor!

You should have a similar effect tipping the DF any direction. You may need to have the board checked for a faulty gyro

RE: RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

I would just use zip ties. they're cheap, easy on and easier off, and they can also form another part of your energy absobing system in a crash. They will break at a certain point in a hard landing,...

RE: RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

the circuit board is designed to pop out on hard impact. Think of it like the crush zones on your car; the bumper collapes on impact, dissipating shock and kinetic energy. Then the fenders, hood,...

RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?
