RE: HELI PARTS TO AVOID
I still like my 60, servo's are crap and it did glich but you can say that about all cheap RTF stuff, the heli it's self is quite well built, and the new 2,4 should do away with the need to spray the belt with silicone to stop the glitch,
There not much I would swop my walkera 60B for, not unless you count heli's that cost more than 2 times as much and I wouldn't like trex,

RE: HELI PARTS TO AVOID
BIKEMAD what other parts have you changed on your 60?
If you look i didnt say the heli was bad just the electronics
DO you have any bad parts to add to the list?? that is the hole point of this list
bikeman 2.4ghz is not going to stop that glitch for static electric .it enters the servo wire not radio

RE: HELI PARTS TO AVOID
sorry dude,
your right about some of walkera electronics, specially the servo's, but I think your wrong about 2'4 ghz. my walkera 60 is now 2,4 and the glitch's stopped the day I changed over, I used to get a glitch about once for every hour's worth of flight, I changed over at Xmas and it hasn't glitched since {if only I knew at the time all it takes is a squirt of silicon and a wire from the tail boom to the air frame}
What have I changed on my walkera 60, well it's been the radio + receiver to futaba 10C and R617FS and later the servos for hitec 65MG's, battery's range from 2450mah to 2200mah, all ebay cheapo's
bit's I wouldn't buy again are
cheap servo's, walkera, tower ect, if it can't survive the crashes it's false economy,
copterx 60 amp ESC, soft start is a jock my copterx 450 BA jumps 120 degrees every time it starts up,
RCmod's 280 carbon fibre main blades,
bit's I can't buy any more and would like to see for sale are the foam blades for the 60, it's a safety thing,
ps it's a good idea to do a list,

RE: HELI PARTS TO AVOID/WEB SITES TO AVOID
Got a boat through a vendor. Defective before it hit the water. Ordered parts for it. Tower sent me the wrong parts. Shipped everything back. Got the correct parts after 2 weeks. Got the boat back from Hobbico after 2 1/2 weeks. Hobbico sent wrong boat back. Here we go again. Sending boat back. Maybe I can run it next year if i'm lucky. Tower said parts error their fault, but washed its hands of the boat. Now dealing with Hobbico. Would you be fed up? Next time I go with Hobby People.
