hahaahaha ... it is true that upgrades costs more than the heli most of the time
i am personally experiencing this already altho i am still a beginner

tried hovering the 4G3 with new brushless + ESC setup
this combo is not very good ... it sucks up lipo like nobody's bizness laa ... hover for about 1 min or so then power start dropping liau
power was very good in the beginning though ... and the sound really very GANAS ... hehehehe

might opt for another brushless setup (non walkera) now pending feedback ....

Did you change your ESC?

yups ... as u can see in the pic ... i am not using the stock walkera ESC
that ESC comes with the brushless motor as a combo ... using 16t pinion
maybe i should just go back to the walkera ESC + brushless since i am beginner and no need for hardcore stuff yet .. hahahaahaa

i wan to diy it bcz the " tail " part easily get broken.. the "L" shape there..

can put some pics up for us to see what u are dealing with ??
i agree building a heli is the best way to understand it ..

Show us some pic ya~~

Recently found any Sales for RC shop?

hi there,

i just bought rc controller for online shop...
just receive today..from usa
the heli called typhoon rc helicopter..
but i dont know how to flight it..
this heli queit complicated..its not the simple heli that our local distributor always sell..
i post the controller pic with this post..it have lcd at the controller
anyone who know to control this kind of rc heli???
if not i just want to sell it..no time to learn to fly..zzzzzz

this the detail bout the heli

25-3/4'' main rotor diameter, 24'' long, 8-7/8'' tall, 6'' tail rotor diameter, 22-1/2 oz. flying weight. Completely ready-to-fly right out of the box, no assembly required. Charge the 3-cell 1800 mAh Lithium battery with the included Lithium safety charger, install 8 AA cells in the 72 mHz 6-channel helicopter transmitter, and get ready to learn collective pitch helicopter flying. Typhoon's brushless motor has plenty of power for sport flying and learning basic aerobatics. The 1800 mAh 3-cell LiPo battery will provide about 10 minutes of flight time. Includes an all new heading hold gyro for solid tail control, a belt driven tail rotor that is smooth and quiet, aluminum tail boom, wooden main blades, and ball links on all control linkages for slop-free control. Autorotation gear, durable frame, and tough landing gear completes the package.

It seems to me like 6 channel heli. You'll need a lot of training before you can fly.
BTW, why you get it from US? There's a lot more in M'sia. MOST important, availability of spare parts as for sure you'll crash.
Try getting a simulator, and practice in the sim before you fly it.

GOOD LUCK~
PS: There's a lot of RC online shop in M'sia.

that radio is efly 6channel, looks something like esky king 2 to me.

i think i will sell it la bro..
wrong buy la..
this rc helicopter to complicated for me...
waste...
zzzzz
i will u actual picture tommorow..
thank you

1 more problem occur to my heli.. unable to charge.. zzz

looks like this is the heli u bought ... http://www.hobby-lobby.com/typhoon.htm
but usd250 ?? u could have asked in here 1st and have much better and cheaper choices .. even well known RCG do not have much info on that bird u just bought
its a CP heli .. which means totally not for beginner unless u are god gifted genius like someone else in here .. u should have started with something cheaper like a coaxial to see if the hobby will get u interested ... then move to a FP/CP heli
well ... i am a beginner too .. but i try to read as much as i can .. this hobby cannot be learnt overnite or over 1-2 months .. its more of a life long learning hobby with very good self satisfaction ... hehehehe

i think u will have a hard time selling it here even coz of spare parts availability and stuff like that ... so sine u already paid for it .. try and learn it
if u crash and need replacement parts then see if any of our locally available ones are compatible

good luck !!!

Added on June 16, 2009, 7:38 ambatteries do not last forever whatever kind of batt ... in this case your rm80 heli prolly using 1 cell LIPO batt
u must have drained/used it until the voltage dropped too much .. for LIPOs the moment u feel like its losing power u have to STOP IMMEDIATELY !!
otherwise u will have irrecoverable damage to your LIPO batt ..

pic of your heli ?? let us have a look ... maybe we can recommend some batt for replacement ... or not

Think is hard for u to sell it as spare part also not sure have or not...
Try to learn hovering from SIM 1st... then from there only try hover the heli lor...
But CP is harder to learn compare to FP...

yaa ... go whack the sim kow kow 1st ... build abit of relfex and confidence ... hehehe
i whack the sim almost everyday ... can do alot of moves in the sim FOC of crash expense .. hahahahaa
i have a spare REFLEX XTR SIM to sell if u are interested .. with dongle and all

had another hover with the 4g3 .. altho cannot last long (1-2mins) coz esc sucking power and gyro gain way off but it was WAY FUN !!! hahaahahaa
will have to do with this until my new motor and ESC arrives
