yeh i had a look. I want to buy a new one though so i get to build it myself, therfor i can learn how everthing works and learn how replace bits etc when i stack it

i have heard a little bit about the belt keep on snapping... is this a problem with the V2?

[Chris S-S]

That looks a lot better.
Make sure the tail sero is the 9650 if you're paying £60 for it! The 3153 is less than half that price.

One other thing to consider, a 7 channel Tx (FF7 instead of FF6) would mean not needing to buy a new Tx for a long time. 6 channels could become restrictive in future for you.
Otherwise, yeah!

why would i need 7 channels?

[robgt]

I just noticed - theres no mention of a LiPo pack - just the charger on there?

If it's not included, I'd suggest buying a Revolution 3S pack. I would also suggest ditching that included charger and buying a CellPro charger instead.

If you decide to move on again to a larger helicopter, you may want to add a governor or similar to it, and that seventh channel then becomes very useful for setting remote gains/values.
Not essential, but definitely worth it for the extra tenner...

lipo pack comes with kit

[robgt]

It's a piece of electronics that attempts to keep engine RPM constant, and therefore tries to keep the headspeed constant.

The eMultiGov is just such a unit for larger electric helicopters. Throttle Jockey Pro/RevMax, Curtis Youngblood ATG, CSM Revlock - they're all governors.

I guess thats that then?

Do you know what the spec of the pack is - make, capacity and C rating?
Eg. The Revolultion pack I linked you to are 2100 mah packs (capacity) rated at 18C (they can deliver 18 x the mah in a constant discharge... 37800 mah or 37.8 amps).

You will probably find that you can't get the deal minus the charger and pack anyway so this is probably a moot point?

This is the battery that comes with the kit 3S1P 11.1V 2100mAh/22C is that the one i want i take it?

[LUcas]

What does "govener mode," mean in this description RCE-BL35X 35A Brushless ESC (Governor Mode) as this is what i get with the kit
