If you want a challenge, try the brushless ESC conversion kit that requires you to solder a couple of wires onto the legs of the surface mount chips. That was fun. |

Why not go s little bigger with the wires? I soldered mine into the back of the board and that was easy to do.

HI I already created a thread not realising here would be better i have a question.
I've damaged my poor little MCPX v2 to the point where I think it will be written off (alas salvaged for parts). Last crash seemed to just put the killer blow on the (already weakened) parts. Tail boom, servos, landing skids, canopy, main frame (canopy holders) and god knows what more are wrecked. My question is - I am probably going to buy another MCPX. Am I as well off save a few pound and swap my MCPX v2 board (which I assume is fine) onto the MCPX v1. Can I do this? And is this the only difference between the v1 and v2? I loved the v2. I've learnt so much on it. So I would like to have it again but can save about $50 by going with v1 as oppose to v2 (maybe this isn't worth it but if only difference is the 3 in 1 then I already have one of these no point wasting it).. thanks for any advice. |

V2 mCPX
Yes, I think you should get another mCPX.
You already know how durable it is. Use the V2 board and sell the V1 board to someone who wants to go BL. $40-45. |

No bigger in diameter but longer us also good.

I didn't use a larger diameter, mainly since I used the stock wire charge lead with the one end cut off.
I used an extra 3/8" of length in addition to the stock length to give me much more plug in room. Also picked up 300 size lipo since the old ones are only putting back in 160mAh of 200mAh. I don't know what stock power feels like. Even with the new battery, pulling hard out of a hover is not really all that snappy. |

Test flew the mCPX today after installing the new Feathering Shaft. Back to smoother flying again.
Got it posted for sale in the Classifieds.... https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1747822

I have a very annoying problem with my mCP X v1. After plugging in my battery, like I've done hundreds of times before, (making sure - to -, + to +), I immediately smelled a burning scent. I quickly unplugged the battery. The board was smoking. This was a battery I have used before, and I charged it like normal. After waiting a week or so, I decided to plug in a battery again. This time, I didn't smell anything, but as soon as the battery plugged in, the tail motor went to full blast, and had no response to my left rudder stick. After unplugging the tail motor and powering everything up, the collective and everything else worked just fine. This is obviously a big problem with my main board (I tested w/different tail motors). Is this fixable?
Seems like I might have blown out the tail gyro somehow? |

Sounds like a shorted tail wire and the tail fet us blown. Can be fixed with a new fet and a soldering iron. Check the fet and see if this us the culprit v

I know there is a plug and play brushless setup for the Nano, but is there one for the MCPx ?
thanks |

Sorry but what is a fet? All I can see is that the little black rectangle on the front side of the board just directly below where the tail plugs in is burnt. Is that the fet?
