RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

Actually, they simply discontinued the original model and made it better!

Check out the full page ad on the new Blade Runner in Fly RC (p. 72 October 2005 issue).

It now has lights, a foam...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

Nice find with free shipping too!

Even the spare blades are less expensive but it looks to be identical to the Blade Runner. Probably same manufacturer but different distributor.

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

After taking my Blade Runner on vacation to the Outer Banks last month, my brother-in-law managed to destroy the blades beyond repair.

I ordered a new set of Replacement Rotor Blades from Hobby...

Guy,

If you click on this link to Hobby People, at the bottom, you will see a part number 690677 "Alien Blade Runner Replacement Rotor Blades". These are likely the same as your Wild Wheels...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

If you have a voltmeter, measure the Lithium cell voltage after what you think is a full charge. It should be 4.1v-4.2v.

Another possibility is that for some reason the motors are drawing...

The diameter of the main blade is 11.5" and the length from the front of the main blade to the tail end is 17.25".

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

I haven't seen any replacement parts for the Blade Runner...even over here in the US.

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

Hi Gordy,

The Kokam 340mAh cell is about 0.3oz compared to the stock 0.2oz cell. The flight time is about double and it does heat up the motors due to the extra weight and longer flights. It is...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

I tested my Blade Runner with the Kokam 340 cell and discovered that the extra 0.1oz in weight forced me to move the cell aft by about 1/4". My all-up weight is now equal to my initial stock weight...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

I replaced the stock Lithium cell with a Kokam 340mAh cell. The Kokam cell was a bit larger but should provide 2 to 3 times the flight duration.

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

It appears that my last modification was known as the "cat killer" mod. although I doubt if you could even hurt a mouse with that low level of power.

I'll try the Kokam 340mAh cell next to see...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

It was actually the engineer part of me that cut the cover off as I was amazed at its performance and stability. I just had to see what made it work!

Since flying it without a cover, I did...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

This design really is a "living room flyer".

Note that I soldered a JST connector onto the Lithium cell terminals so I can use my Apache 2500 charger.

After only a few practice hovers, I decided that I must see what was inside.

I cut away the plastic jacket "heli body" and reduced the weight from 1.8oz to 1.7oz RTF.

The inside design was...

RE: Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

The Lithium charger is integrated into the transmitter but is fed external power from a wall plug-in transformer. This was a nice design concept that does not deplete the 9v transmitter battery.

Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter

When I first saw the Interactive Toy Blade Runner Helicopter at our indoor fly-in last month, I couldn't believe that it was so easy to hover so I decided to buy one at Tower Hobbies for only $68.
