    I've just had a thought, the trouble I'm having is a more aggressive versions of crabbing, can't trim, goes round in circles, I think one of the new motors may have bombed out a little.

    It's the only thing I can think of, as everything else is all spot on

    Does this make sence at all?

      Just been on the phone to Elite models and they said post her back and there see if the suppliers can give me a new one.

      Customer service can't get much better than that, Elite Models, Inwoods & Maxpoly Batterys, three top companies I'd recommend 100%.

      Not to mention the members here who have given there spare time to help, I take my hat off too you all.

      And TBH, I'm sick to the teeth trying to get this bastard working, every move forward is two steps backward.

      So I'll box her up, write a letter explaining what I've done and what keeps happening, and send her off Monday, and I'll keep you informed as to my progress.

        Good luck mate, it's a real shame when it all goes tits up like that. I'd be heartbroken if my little lady couldn't be fixed.

          Cheers bud', there not sure HZ will play ball, but there give it a go, can't be fairer than that, and like I said to them if the 4in1 box is mullered it would be more cost effective to just buy another BCX2

            Yours is a 4in1? Is yours on the Spektrum 2.4g? Otherwise I've actually just bought a 3in1 for a Blade CX2 which cost 34 quid. So at that I would've thought still cost effective. But if it's 4in1 meaning RX as well then I see your point.

                Yes bud, my 4in1 is the same 2.4ghz as the 3in1 box, worst case if I purchased the new all in one it would only require binding with the TX and away I'd go.

                Saying it is the 4in1 we don't know yet, but thanks for the info mate, £34 takes a major sting out of the equation

                PS - names Wayne you must tell us yours bud'.

                    We have all been down this road of frustration , My father had a vax carpet shampoo machine 2 years back and it wasnt working properly so he took it apart and tried to fix it . He was 2 hrs at it and finaly got it back together then something else wasn't working so again he took it apart and 2 hrs later back together . 5 times he did it and on the 5th time he took it out to the garden and put an axe through it . The f,,,ing thing lay in the garden for nearly seven days before it went into the bin. Moral of the story is if you cant fix it then leave it till you cool down and try again ,DONT KILL IT COS IT DOUSN'T HELP

                        lets hope you get this sorted wayne.
                        after all, although you have tried to repair it yourself there is no reason for hz to kick it back. all you've done is basic adjustments and replace parts with new! lets hope you get sorted and have a good run of luck with the next one.

                          Thank you Ron that's most kind.

                          As you say it's not like I haven't tried to fix it, and on a lighter note HZ will get there moneys worth out of me if they do replace it.

                          Cheers mate.

                            Oh I don't know, there's always the stress relief factor I guess...

                            I wouldn't condone it though, I've lost count of the times I have nearly binned my Skylift....
