i haven't really been around much as my mcx is down and i have problems with my cx2. my cx2 seams a little week. full throttle the altitude gain is very slow and drops whenever i even do slow forward flight. i have thought it is my bats but i have tried two and the same happens.i think they have 60 flights each threw them since Christmas. also. even when not at full power, the 3 and 1 flashes red then green non stop. i only thought that occurs when you used full throttle. any ideas on whats up? oh,also how do you stay logged in to the forums? it keeps logging me out when i go to a different site. it never used to do that? it would keep me signed in for 2 weeks?

Have you gotten the power issue resolved yet? The flashing lights, or the green light turning red, is an indication that the 3 in 1 is pulling a lot of current. That's why it only does it at full throttle.
Have you tried removing the blades and checking to see if it will spin just the shafts and keep the light green? If it does, try just the lower blades, then try just the upper blades. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but more information would help.
If you do get new motors, the Xtreme ball bearing motors are very good. And for just a few bucks you can get silver brushes. The Silver Brushes deliver a ton more power, but you have to break them in.
Most of the information that's worth reading is in here somewhere.

Note that I just moved the first article so that link is no good. Use this one. [link=http://www.rotortech.ca/CX2/]Soloboss CX2 guide[/link]
We gotta get the list fixed.
