I was just browsing part prices at tower, and I think if something ever happens to my 3-in-1, and it's not covered under warranty, I'll just buy a 5-amp and 15-amp GWS speed controls (about $25 together) and use a Telebee HH Gyro I have laying around. An $85 repair to return the heli to as-purchased condition just isn't justifiable in my mind when such a cheaper alternative exists. Using the two esc's and a gyro, it would be easier to eventually swap out the main esc & motor for a brushless combo. Anyone know what kind of kV rating is needed?

About my post #36 above, the linkage set for the Axe is on backorder at three places I checked. So I just filled the stripped threads with 5 minute epoxy and screwed the linkages back together. I'm going to give the epoxy a full 24 hours to cure before I try anything.

Also, the crystal I ordered should be here tonight so I can finally set up the Axe in my Fut. 9C.
