Chuck, If it's not installed already, fuse mod. is an absolute must!!! This will save your 4in1 from becoming toast. Other mods and upgrades.... Super Skids, then main motor, then LiPo battery. I would recommend in that order. However, if this is a new heli, just charge batt. and learn with the stock stuff. Save upgrade money for parts.... you will need them... Maybe this helps somewhat. Take care and fky safe.
