When looking down at the top, the upper blades rotate CCW & the lowers rotate CW. It doesn't matter where the motors are placed, only that they are plugged in to rotate the proper direction.

Drifts to the left as in slides to the left? Sounds like swash trim. If you've trimmed it as much as you can, turn the little servo connectors to readjust your center so you can get back to using radio trim to fly straight.

If you mean rotates to the left, you need to rotate the pot on the receiver to compensate. If you have stock motors, they are notorious for burning out & one may be going before the other. Your best upgrade for the money are ball bearing motors, they'll make your heli fly like a completely different bird! In fact, if you have one of those Colgate Motion electric toothbrushes, open it up & you'll see it has the same motors in it. That's right, your heli comes from the factory with toothbrush motors.

Vibrations can be caused by MANY things, start by looking at your blades since that's the cheapest & easiest fix. See any nicks? Are they bent? Are they tracking correctly? Sometimes they aren't perfectly balanced right from the package. Now check the shafts, both inner & outer. You can check the flybar & weights but typically these will manifest their problems as 'toilet bowl effect' or TBE which it doesn't sound like you have.

Those are GREAT motors. If drifting is the only problem, then it should be an easy fix. Be thorough & let us know how it turned out.
