HELP! Tail motor, Is dead.

[cuong]

Hello, I just recently started up my new BR and up and down and turn around works but i can not reverse or forwards because my tail motor is not running? is it maybe my batt not fully charge?

[Tres Wright]

First try this- with the BR powered up, give forward stick (which should make the tail motor run) and flick the prop to see if you can get it spinning. My tail motor gets lazy sometimes and won't come on until I give it a nudge.

The wires to the tail motor are really tiny, they are magnet wire I believe. It's possible that if the above doesn't work, one of the wires came loose at the circuit board, but you wouldn't be able to tell without removing the body.

The full charge would have nothing to do with it, if there's enough power for the main rotors to run, there's plenty for the tail motor as well.

Good luck!

If you are able to start the tail motor as Tres Wright suggests you could keep it running for a minute or so - and then reverse it for another minute. This sometimes fix the problem. Some have also just trimmed the weight (C.G.) slightly forward and fly it with 2 ch. not using the tail motor.

My battery is full everything runs perfectly Utrning left/Right and Up/Down I tryed everything I can it maybe some wire probs or the motor is just to lazy. I'm going to try open my canopy to see whats going on and give it a nudge see if it want to coperate, If not I'm going to go back the the radio shack and replcae a new one.

Both attempts was unsuccesfull, This toy is a piece of junk shouldnt have bought it in the first place. Breaks down so esasily.

Well, it's not a hobby grade heli. Just return it and get a new one. It's just probably a defect.

Check the connections behind the tail rotor. Mine stopped working too. I gently twisted the shrink wrap and it started working again. If that got it going cut off the shrink wrap and fix the connection
