I just ordered one myself,but w/standard shipping,came to $132.00 ,great deal.The only thing I'm concearned with is that on the RC Groups board ,people who dealt with Ehirobo did'nt have much good things to say about them,like totally screwing up customer orders and bad customer service. I guess weel' wait n' see.

Nice Ron. I just got one 2 days ago. I went to ShenZhen, China on 24th this month and so nice that the seller told me the bird was just initially release to the whole China market. They had just opened the carton by the time I arrived to the hobby shop[8D]. Sooooo sweeeet.

The bird looks really cool and it is sooo small. So I can play inside my place (I live in Asia dont have a big house as you guys....). The bird is too hard for me to fly, especially compare to my Lama3. I cant even keep it in air for 30 seconds......

But it worth my money still coz I can get a nice toy and play after I work. Just need to spend more time and hope I can keep it in air for longer....

BTW, I crashed couple times but nothing broke yet[>:]. The bird is tougher than what I expected especially.

Have fun.

Just got one myself yesterday from ehirobo. So excited! Have to find a huge gym like place tho as I'm a complete noob. Hope they're not too shady as I used my debit card.

I've already got a fully upgraded df60 [link=http://www.df60.org]df60.org[/link] , but I'm really looking forward to getting one of these little 4#3B's with the metal upgrades! Don't worry about ehirobo, as they've been around for some time now and I've never had a problem with them. The usual complaint is about the shipping costs, but it's coming from the other side of the world and that takes a while. I even checked this bird out on ebay and when you figure in the shipping costs, it's still cheaper to get it from ehirobo.

I know the plastic 4#3 has been around for a while so I'm sure someone has done some upgrading if possible. What's the biggest motor/battery configuration possible on this, or is it pretty much maxed out when you get it?

sketchaholic

With some minor mods you can go brushless. Haven't gotten my 4#3B yet but I have all the gear ready to convert it as well.

ron.khan

Chect out RC Groups,there is a huge thread on the 4#3,and doing the brushless conversion,I believe it is the Losi micro t excelorin motor (1025 kv) if I'm not mistakin' for the top choice for a brushless motor.

How well does Walkera's 2.4 gig radios work?

Anyone get one yet?

islandfire

babyhuey,

I have never experienced any high end radio beside esky kingII stock,so cant compare. But it works pretty well to me.

babyhuey

The old Walkera radios were trouble so had to change to Futaba but if the new ones work I may try a #4 again.

I have also ordered WALKERA 4#3B 2.4Ghz Metal Upgraded Edition Helicopter from ehirobo.
The delivery speed is fast and excellent. It arrived in 3 days by UPS.
The quality of this helicopter is good as well. The flight is stable and smooth. It is a really nice metal upgraded version helicopter.

Deftones123

is it worth the extra for the 2.4gh radio and for the metal parts? and how much does shipping cost using ehirobo in the united states?

zenchal26

Well I just did my first repairs on the 4#3 after countless crashes. I had to solider back together the red wire on the tail motor (it broke in one of the crashes) and pop on one of the links to the fly bar that popped off. This thing is great, it can take a bashing.

ron.khan

Man....I'm still waiting for mine to arrive,I ordered it on may 25th from Ehirobo and still don't have it!!!

Don't own one myself yet but I've been following the 4#3B threats in another forum for awhile now and it seems that these upgrades are well worth the extra cash. Haven't read any complains about the radio and the metal upgrades seem to really improve stability. Hope that helps

Used serveral times for my helicopter. The 2.4GHz transmitter enable a more stable flight .

Hi Guys,

We have just had a full shipment arrive of 4#3B's / 4G1B's and parts.

Have a look at the site - http://www.eastcoasthobbies.com.au

Anybody know if you can replace the receiver/tx with Specktrum DX7? Thanks in advance.

fretman

That would mean replacing the 4in1 and going all separates with a 2s lipo setup. Unless you modify the spektrum rx to work on 1s, which actually has been done by the way, you still have to go all separates.

fretman

The upgrades are definitely worth it, especially for a beginner. The original 4#3 can be made to fly just as well, it just takes some adjustments and tweaks.

4#3b on the other hand doesn't really need any tweaks out of the box. (except if you buy from ehirobo, I've heard many bad experiences) And is very durable. It would take a real beating to break something on the 4#3b. On the original 4#3 one had to deal with constantly breaking the rotor head, blade holder, flybar, landing gear, canopy etc...

I've got a original 4#3, thats been upgraded to be just as stable and durable as the 4#3b. But it took about $200 in parts(new rx, esc's, bl motor etc). My 4#3b, I think I will leave alone for a while.

fretman

Hey Sketch, fancy meeting you here.

asylum56

Look!!! vi22 is on this fourm too! Isn't he a ehirobo employee in disguise?[X(]

fretman

in a bad disguise...
