Default Blade CPP2 tail motor problem

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; border-collapse: collapse; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">I have the Brushless upgrade and had it hovering tonight. Thought to myself, I can finally put that Huey body on it now. I go to zip it up and clean it all up and now the stupid tail motor won't work at all. I checked the connectors. Any ideas?</span>

Have you hot wired the battery to the motor leads to see if it will spin up? Sounds like you may have a connection issue. My ESC would turn green and still not operate the tail motor right when it went out, so don't disclude it just because it gave the green light.

I got it fixed today. It was a bad motor. Quite possible the person who soldered it held it on too long and damaged the insides.

Thought it was fixed until I zip tied the bundle of wires again and it failed. After messing with it some more the wires to the gyro from the 2n1 came out. So I guess it will sit now until I can afford to get a 2n1. Anybody got a spare 2n1 laying around?

I didn't think it hooked up to the gyro. Guess I should pay more attention to the wiring on my chopper, eh? Hahaha. Let me know if you want it. I saw your original post said you'd installed the brushless setup, which is why I didn't think you could use it.

You still have to use the 2n1 for the brushed tail motor. PM sent

Gotcha. I thought you had to swap out to the brushless 2in1. I'm still a noob at understanding which parts work where.</p>

In a way, you do swap it out, but you still need it for the tail motor. You can go with a brushless tail motor, but you still have to have a separate esc.
