I gave up on the NiHM and brushed motor after the second crash or so, just junk. With the Park 370 motor, ESC, LiPo 1320 battery and a HH gyro, my AXE hovers rock solid. I literally went from not even being able to contain it in my parking garage to landing on the top of an upside down 5 gallon bucket in one flight. ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. The problem with the AXE and Blade CP, is the low inertia, low speed rotor system. If you get that rotor moving 80% faster as I did the AXE is quite the stable flying machine.
