Here is the 400 all fixed .....again.check out the body, I had the idea to run 2 sheets of laminate thru the laminater. Then i cut it out, and got a body. A FREE body, and very flexible. So im not sure if i can paint it because im sure the paint will chip.

sweet!! post some pics of the paint job if u get a chance.
I finally got my v400 hovering in my garage Brand new servos and bearings, and first time it's hovered with gyro gain in a long time. Still didn't seem to want to hover good over 40% gryo pot gain and had a vibration in the landing gear area though that's still a huge improvement over the 0% gyro it use to take, and i think it'll finally get some air time once the rain clears out of the midwest here... The fusonic servos seem to work, though more detail to come once i get some good flights in. I did have to turn the receiver around to get the gyros to work, and reverse all the servos in the transmitter. The installation was easy though. I got ahead of myself and hacked one of my servos up but didn't need to do that The servos don't really fit under the frame like the original ones or the exi do. Instead they are a little big and just press up against the frame, so I just had to bend the servo brackets a little bit to get them to fit. Really a pretty easy mod, just turn the rx around and bend the brackets so they screw into the frame better. Hopefully despite the vibration in the landing gear (checked the screws and it seems secure), I'll be able to get some good flights in and really check out the new servos. oh, reminds me, i need to pm that one guy back who had been having similar issues, not sure if he reads up on this thread and i want to make sure the constant info exchange on this forum keeps on ticking Got my fingers crossed once i get some flights in i'll find that i got this heli working, then i'll be up to 3 big helis up and flying |

hi everyone.. glad to hear that everyones 400 doing great..
and thx coco for the update today.. i just get my latest batch of stuff from china.. this time is faster (last time it took me more than 1 month ).. So now i have some question.. hope you all can help me... 1. i need to solder connectors to the esc i bought... the side that got 3 leads to brushless motor, should i use 3.5mm banana.. or can i use 2mm banana plug? not sure if 2mm banana plug can handle the amp or not 2. i got a brushless motor that going in my v400 after conversion when turn by hand.. should the motor be extra smooth? or should it feel some resistant like the brush motor? mine got some resistant when turn with hand.. |

About the 2.5mm banana plug, i'm not too sure about that one. To be safe you should probably use the 3.5, but i bet the 2.5 would be enough. You could potentially use the 2.5 wile you wait for the other ones to arrive. What is the current of your battery, 15c, 20c, etc? As long as you're not using something in the 25 to 30 range, you'd probably be fine at least for a little while. |

Hello all,
Just got my package from Hobbyking, I ordered several servo horn sets, hoping one of them would fit my EXI D213F but too bad... all of them are to big, it was a good effort I guess. Still nobody could find a spare set? I so, please let me know where you found them. @Kdean, you have both servo's I remember.. the Hitec horns wouldn't happen to fit the Exi's ? Thanks! About the 2.5mm banana plug, I also have it on my V400 with brushless kit, It work just fine, no need to worry. Greetz! |

Hey bart,
I'll check to see if they fit as soon as i get a chance. Did you count the little ribs or spleans (i think thats what their called), the number of bumps around the top thingy. Also measure the top metal thingy. With that info, diam of thingy and the number of bumps it has, you should have a better chance finding a match. |

I measure 4,4 mm diameter of the top metal thingy and I tried counting the splines but they are so small I'm not 100% sure but I think there are 24. Don't worry, If you count 23 or 25 I'll still order them! haha Thanks allready! Bart *** EDIT*** Sorry, laptop was still open on this page but haven't refreshed so I didn't noticed your reply... Thanks for checking anyway! I found 1 replacement set on hobbypartz but not in stock and 25$ shipment + 10$ import customs... I'll keep looking and if I find something I'll report back here. |
