Well I just made a 2s750 pack out of some new nanos i had laying around.
Not sure of the weight more just wanted to test the jst-xh connector I am about to install on one of my 130's. If the jst-xh connector works well then I wont need to find special batteries or resolder connections in the future.

Very nice! As always he sure can fly It looks like a 450 on 6s

How long out do you think the motor is from production?

Yeah, its pretty crazy seeing it live. I just don't know how he does it so effortlessly. Anyway, since it is Chinese New Years, the factory takes the entire month off!!! So I guess it won't be happening until then.

Definitely need to know the performance on those batteries! I'd love a 750, IF it performs better, and isn't too heavy!!


Has anyone tried out the MH Delrin (OR the CNC, what's the difference?) main gear with autorotation hub? I had to hit TH the other day from about 15' up, before it went over the neighbors fence, and I wonder if that main gear with the auto rotation hub would have let me make a nicer, softer landing?

Here is what I'm looking at for my bird...
MH Titanium Swash with rear anti-rotation guide
MH Main gear with auto rotation hub (either the CNC or the delrin gear...not sure which would be best?)
RKH- Heatsink main motor mount
RKH- Main hub
RKH- Main blade grips
RKH- Tail Blade Grips
RKH- Tail gear case
RKH- Tail pitch slider
RKH- Tail push rod guide set
RKH- Servo mount set
RKH- Tail Fin (not sure which one...version 1 or 2?)
RKH- Swash leveler

OR, would you buy another 130X and keep them both stock??

Anyone try these batteries out??

5C charging!! WOW!

I haven't tried these, but I just wanted to say 5C charging is run-of-the-mill these days. It's expected.

BTW, there's no need to pay anywhere near $28 for a good 450mAh battery.

Not those, but I tried some other Flytown batteries for my mCP X. Worked great at first, but did not last very long at all. Power was way down in less than 20 cycles.

Where? That price is for two...I saw some from the UK, but posting from there is a killer...

Oh, well that makes more sense.

I don't if I would want to buy a battery that shows flames at 5C charge rate.

Thunder Power 325mah 65C have a 12C charge rate.

Just doing some light hovering in the living room last night and noticed the motor was kind of warm to the touch. I had ran two packs back to back but how warm/hot is normal?

Yup... HH says 160 degrees is normal.

Well for about 1/2 a battery I thought I finally got some tail shakes. There was absolutely no shakes until above 80% throttle so I bet I could have still flipped it around on a low flat curve without issues. Most of the bad shakes popped up after doing reverse loops. After I popped the hood I found out it was only the battery. It looked like it was secure but wasn’t good enough and now I need to go find some better velcro. Just goes to show how a bit more power compared to the 120’s I have had can cause issues from simply not paying attention to something simple.

Now if I had Darryl's machine I would have really been in trouble

I noticed your TX beeping during flips. Is that your throttle timer when you transition through low stick in idle-up? If you set it to start/stop based on a throttle output percentage instead of a physical stick percentage, it won't do that. I know it probably doesn't really matter in the grand scheme, but I didn't like my TX beeping and timer stopping/starting every time I went through 1/4 low stick in idle-up. So, I changed it to a throttle output of 25% (independent of stick position, based on throttle curve) and the timer only beeps/stops going to low stick in NORM since my idle-up 2 and is a straight 100% "curve" and my idle-up 1 never drops below 25% at full low stick. Just thought that might help. If you do that on purpose, I'm curious as to why.

I have the same problem but I don't think there's anything g I can do about it. It's a mod kit for a dx7

Nice flight. Yep, at the headspeed my heli is running now, a little vibration would probably blow the heli apart in mid-air.
