RE: Slash vs Stampede vs GraveDigger for 5yr old

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I sanded down the blades and allowed them to rotate more easily - seems to have fixed the issue!

RE: 450 Trex V - tail bouncing up and down...

That is possible; although I notice this at the beginning to end of a charge on the battery. I have two Kong Power packs and the tail wag happens on both (although both packs are a year old).

RE: Horizontal tail jumping on 450 - why?

Thanks for the replys all. Took my servos apart and found a tooth missing on two of the teeth on one of the gears. I think this was causing the motion.

RE: Horizontal tail jumping on 450 - why?

Yep, my fault, I wrote the reply while auditing at work - so much for multi tasking. I did mean a vertical up and down - sorry guys[:@].

RE: Horizontal tail jumping on 450 - why?

I do not believe it is the gyro as it is not a side to side, or vertical jump. It is an up and down motion on the tail. While it is there most of the time, there can be about 10 seconds where it...

RE: CX2 owners ever do this for a kick?

Keep it inside, even a puff will keep it off track. You will need to step-up to a single blade if you want to enjoy the great outdoors. Have fun with it.
