I also suggest checking for backlash all around the main gear. At least on my machines there are high and low spots. To avoid excessive wear and high contact pressure in some places I therefore accept a very minimal amount of backlash on the low spots.

How do you register the Neo Rx? If it’s connected to the M2 esc through the aux channel can’t get the updater to display on the radio. So how can I register it? TIA

Damn, I should have made some harder ones for you 😄 There is one I've never got really clean, which is a vertical circuit. So you do a nose-up stir at the bottom, and as you go round CW it turns to tail-left, nose-down at the top, tail-right on the right, and back down to tail down. Probably one of those technical but ugly moves 🙈

Would you recommend practicing with a Trex 450 or a Trex 550, my 450 doesn’t seem to “hang” in the air as well as the 550 when I put on throttle hold a few feet off the ground.
@rchelicopter13 күн бұрын
It depends what you're practicing. I find the smaller models don't do big moves very well, but they can be great for flippy-floppy piro stuff in the box, and the bigger models will be better for the bigger set manoeuvres type stuff as well as power moves.

Hi Richard the lead you have made up photographed in the video the wiring for the positive and signal wires have been reversed so if the lead is made up as shown in the video the receiver will not work, it will not damage the receiver as I made the lead as shown then reversed the wires and it now works fine. One other thing if you perform the BMFA failsafe test the motor will not stop, the failsafe in the macrocell 13 ESC OUT needs to be turned on and as the throttle signal is reversed you need to set the value to 100 or higher then the fail safe will turn the motor off should you loose signal hope this feed back helps oh and it works great just need telemetry now :)
