Nope - nano tech 300mah 2s was working fine for ages.

That's a bit sh*te.
BTW - did you have a premonition it would light up, hence the video camera?

It did it once and so I unplugged it and tried spooling up again to see if it would do it again.

[paulsouthport]

Bad luck that. Can't quite see, which component was it that went??

[trexamanic]

surely its a warranty claim?
they arent that old are they?

Re: My MCPX BL caught fire :/

I think its the tail fet. Phoned horizon and they said its probably a short (most likely due to using a solid carbon boom)

[panosg]

Mine done exactly the same!!!!!
Send it back to the shop and I got another one ( not mentioning names on an open forum, but thanks Bud from Quick UK for you fantastic service one's more )

I am keeping eye on the new one.....like a hawk!

Im sending the board back to HH tomorrrow Im sure theyll replace it

[one life fly it]

Here we go again , is it just me or are they just using us as gineapigs ? Send out the first batch let the heli guys find the faults and then bring out v2. I've had it with them ! I will wait for the day when the reviews on here of there new heli that fly out of the box as it should and it doesn't need this or that fixing / upgrading ! .( won't be holing breath )

NO MORE HH ! GET IT RIGHT THEN SELL IT !

There is a wire that runs close to the board , I saw a thread on the freak re moving it or it knackers it up.
was it that ?

First time i just sent off the board and they replaced the board second time sent the whole heli they replaced motor board blades and canopy so very good customer service just a bit of a pain boxing it all up paying £8 for postage and waiting for it to be returned.
