RE: axe cp thread
Thank you. I got my start in flying about 2 years ago with a $60 plane that turned out to be an epic failure lol. After my plane lost all ability to fly, I flew on occasion using my brother's plane. I got into helis around November of last year. I decided to put some money into it, so I got an axe cp (big spender, I know lol). Right around January, I got tired of the stock tail motor due to the fact that I burned through three of them by that time and I decided to look into this belt-drive deal that I had been hearing so much about. I ordered the kit from freestyle-hobby soon after that. It took forever to get here, but I'd say it was well worth the wait. Now apart from my all-metal head, I tried to go with the cheapest set up I could find from helidirect. I'm using a 300HDX 4200Kv brushless motor along with a Dynam 25A brushless esc. I don't think I've ever seen any pilot post that as their setup. Must not be something to brag about I guess lol. Yes my motor is pretty aggressive but I think it's too agressive because it's overdrawing, causing crazy overheating that only now is taking it's toll lol. I'm not sure wether or not I was running on hard timing before but tonight I made sure that I switched to soft timing, so granted it's not windy in the morning, I'm gona see if I still have a battery or not. Hopefully nothing catches on fire or explodes haha. Anyway, I hope that fixes the problem and maybe I'll get a few more flights out of that battery.
