hrm... that is what I was running (and super skids), and I didn't realize what a load that was on the motor until I swapped it out for some lighter blades. That probably wont fix your problem, but it's something to think about. I'm going to be switching to a 8T pinion... I just picked it up today.

I wonder what your battery resistance is? If you have a way to measure that....

Did you say that your batteries work in your friends chopper?

I dunno... there just aren't alot of answers... seems like we've covered just about anything that could be wrong with the heli... so either we've skipped over something, or who knows what the problem is =(

did you find anything out with the dual tail?
