RE: Himaxx Motor gear box
I had a few more flights on my 2nd HiMaxx w/ 4.3:1 gearbox.
(My first is getting the gear drive shaft replaced after a broken wing tip)
I managed to bend the gear drive shaft on my second one due to a transmitter problem.
I opened this one up and I can confirm it was closed with factory locktite and it was lubed.
It also has all metal gears.
When I sent in my first one, I ordered a new gear drive shaft - just in case.
Having one on had, I went ahead and replaced the bent shaft on my second one - no problem. All buttoned up again and flight ready.
I also just received a HiMaxx w/o gearbox. I added a GWS compatible custom gearbox
by Chi Won. Perfect fit - no problems.
Happy Flying!
