Hi guys,

Im back.

Hurricane Dennis was a dud, and didnt really do much. But after the hurricane I got sick. Still getting over the crud.

Well, here's some answers.

If you change the main motor out from the stock 10T pinion to either the 9T or 8T pinion motor, head speed and stability will increase dramatically....but you MUST upgrade to a Lipo battery to make it work. The 8 or 9T pinion'd motor requires alot more juice to perform correctly. Since the higher head speed also makes the tail motor work harder to counteract torque, it gets hotter. Which means you MUST put a heat sink on to keep the temps down. When and if you decide to upgrade, you cant go half *** into it. You have to do it right.

Here's what you need for optimum performance.

Symmetrical blades
Main Motor heatsink
Tail Motor heatsink
9T or 8T pinion'd motor
TP 1320mah 11.1V 3cell lipo

You need ALL of the above to make it work right. If you leave out one single part, you'll have problems.

Now about aftermarket parts. All the Esky Carbooon parts will fit the E-flite Blade. Many times you can find these parts cheaply.
