I have ordered a gyro at http://www.cnchelicopter.com/servlet...yro/Categories and am now looking for a cheap compatible esc unit, for the heli max of course. Do you have any suggestions? Gyro below.

use c-12 from Electrofly and Tower hobbies just take out the red wire on the servo plug.

Go to tower hobbies and find thier ESC selection.

Scroll thru it till you fiind the UltraFly 25A ESC and
programing card. Its fairlly cheap and it works
great on my mx400.

AND NO...you don't remove the red wire as suggested
above or it won't work because the ESC supplies the
power for the reciever.

By the way, my son uses that gyro you bought...It
works great.

i found the esc and programming card. The esc has been dicontinued. Can i use the 12a esc above it at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLUS6&P=7 or is it not compatible. Also how and what does th progr5aming card do.

a 30amp esc for an axe cp is a little overkill but you can reuse it if you decide to go bigger. for $25 it works great or you can get the lower amp Dynam's for even less.

I have and ultry fly 25 esc and programing card. But I need help setting it up. It keeps draining my lipo and not giving me a warning for low batttery like I wat it too. Can anyone help please. I am new to electric flight but not rc flying. Please help.

I have the same issue with the CastleCreations Pegasus 35P, the highest setting for voltage cutoff is 8.4v (2.7v per cell), which is too low for most of the 3 cell Lipo batteries we use, (except the $90 Nuke-proof packs). 9v is the recommend cutoff point for most of the common 3 cell Li-ion & Lipo batteries, 3v per cell. Anything lower results in swollen packs, won't charge, or dis-charges very rapidly. I just use a digital stopwatch zip-tied to my TX, when I reach 10-12 minutes, or I'm at 3/4 throttle, I stop flying.
