What about your feathering shaft? It's constant wobble right? Blades too tight? Bent feathering shaft, broken blade etc?

[jamiew12]

it stopped vibrating now but when i took it off of the bed and landed it the heli blades didnt want to stop and then i held them for about 2 seconds to turn the heli off and it started to smoke and now when i got to throttle the blades just move up
any suggestions

Sorry mate, smoke= dead

You should have unplugged the battery, not forced the motor to stop.

I'd contact horizon hobby and send it to them, they should replace the main board for you.

[jamiew12]

will it work with just a new motor in it
b******s

[Stanley Speel]

No the 3 in 1 board is most likely dead if there was smoke. As I said unless you fancy spending your £50 on a new main board then I'd send it off to HH. It will be around £7-10 to send it, and if you're lucky it will be replaced and sent back foc. Also call them, don't email them as they will take forever to reply.

Hope you get it flying soon

[Stanley Speel]

wow you've not been having much luck have you - mcpx board and a 120sr board :/

[jamiew12]

na not really
im starting to think that all rc is not my hobby
lol
