  • cx2 into cx3

    i thought it might be of interest to fit a cx3 body to a cx2 to bring it up todate.
    whats in the box

    i stripped the cx2 down to just the chassis and shafts. (battery tray removed) then fitted the new battery tray ends(the one with the stop goes to the rear. this fits easily into the new body and is secured by one plastic bar through the premade holes just above the notar sticker which inturn is secured by 2 small bits of tube. next i assembled the undercarriage skids and legs.(the legs with the small plastic stops fit to the front) they were then screwed to the new battery tray brackets.the stops on the front legs support the body and make the whole assembly nice and solid. next it was the tail stabiliser fin,which meant gently pulling the rear "pod" on the tail to one side to gain access inside the boom( it hinges on the vent sticker)2 screws and the fin was done. refit the blades/flybar and job done. quite a simple little job and looks great

    the battery tray and undercarriage fitted

    the front support lugs

    the securing bar


    the rear "pod" for access to the tail boom

    nice easy access to the pots

    job done


    it also now has lights . white and red in the front and two red at the end of the boom. nice and simple to fit and just plug into a spare rx channel( aux1) secured with a blob of hot glue.
    the reds flash and the white nose light is steady

    Cool!

    I must admit I've been thinking about changing my CX2 to a pod and boom set-up.

          a very quick video of it flying as my connection speed means hours of uploading if the file is too big
