Is the main gear on the mcxp real notchy when spinning it by hand? I just picked one up and found it to be very notchy. It feels like it might just be a combination of really strong magnets in the motor and the tiny spur gear, but I want to get some feedback form other owners before I spin this thing up to see if it is normal. Thanks.
Yes, thanks for posting this..
Mine was very notchy when new.. I actually thought it may be faulty... but it loosens up after 20-30 flights... a bit of lubricant on the main gears helps also..
the tail rotor will spin well before the main gear starts rotating due to this tightness..
Mine has over 50 flights and they both start together now... the tightness is now almost gone and it is more like the MSR..
