Default set the default rotor speed for idle up switch

Is there any way to reduce the rotor speed when using idle up and the stick is at center? Is it a fixed speed that has no adjustment or what? I know the pitch can be adjusted with the linkages but id like to toy with the rotr RPM a little.

Gitrdun,

Don't know what kind of heli you have, if you have a stock transmitter, I don't believe you can adjust the motor rpm. With a programable Transmitter you can adjust the throttle curve. A stock Transmitter is set internally in the TX and can't be change.

Gitrdun,

Hmmmm, the Blade CP+ comes with a main motor with a 9 tooth pinion. You could spend 10 bucks and get a main motor with 8 teeth. That would slow it down just a tad. Here's a link, it's about 4/5 down the page or so. Or slap in a 7 volt lipo in, if you have one, but it probably wouldn't get it off the ground. If you want more power, get a 10 tooth.

john h., you mean you don't read all the posts? - i thought it was required !!!

gitrdun: check the 4/3-in-1 for being in 1 part, or 2 parts stuck together with sticky tape - if you have a 2 part 4/3-in-1, then you could'a had a dx !!! - hardest part of converting over (besides the price hit lol - dx7 radio and ar6000 is about 400$) is prying the 2 parts apart, the rest is just swapping pins and setting up the dx7
