Blade Nano CPX factory brushless upgrade (install and test flight)

[@jeffrenman4146]

that's really cool… Really nice video I appreciated… I just got myself the blade nano S3 a friend gave it to me because he couldn't fly… I'm grateful I'm flying all over my home… But to be brushless on the main motor sweet… If only the tail could be … brushless… But this is a good start no more replacing. Very impressive thank you

[@DaddyRC]

Nice explanation... I'm thinking of getting this heli to learn.

[@zoomtt]

Have you ever flown a collective pitch Heli? This heli is made for a intermediate level pilot.

[@DaddyRC]

i have... 450 TREX and destroyed it sooo many times. I was thinking... I need something smaller : )

[@zoomtt]

BlueFlyerTV Then this will work nicely! :). I crashed it maybe 20 times this weekend. No parts needed. Still flies like a champ!

[@DaddyRC]

zoomtt excellent! hey... swing by my channel... really would like to get your feedback. thanks!

[@R3L72]

My 3 nCPX's will Thank You Blade! Now to find those 45C Lipo's...

[@ontariodoublex2713]

No i dont think it would spin the wrong way be uase its a single single wire reversing the rotation would be on the motor wires correct me if im wrong

[@alexisrojasgonzalez3810]

Nice video,thanks for sharing...A quick question,any advise on setting with spektrum dx6i?,thanks a lot....

[@otc-x1-b9]

This is six years late. I had dx6i too. Would not work well for almost any helicopter. I bought DX8 .... heaven. After the learning curve it was the missing link .

[@bootboys7745]

Yes!!! Thanks for the post!!

[@frnkguard1]

nice kit wish I could get one too bad its discontinued sucks because I love the Nano's

[@battlemachine3]

today my blh3325 esc just burnt up. it has issues with not responding to trottle hold, so that could be one of the reason. but even doing casual 3d, the esc heats up too. and finaly died 2months (about 300+ flights) from usage. quite disappointed its not programmable, many people have their own preferences, and for me, i don't like the fact that braking is enabled, which makes landing on some tight spaces tricky, as the motor would brake and the heli would spin when i land. but for people who have no idea about esc. this is a good product.

[@obscured021]

I just ordered 2 brushed motors last week :( was on my 3rd after 5 weeks

[@CTorres_1993]

Besides the power, is there any benefit from upgrading to brushless?

[@zoomtt]

Hi Cody, reliability also increases as there are no brushes to wear out on the main motor.

[@joesmith-ht6vd]

Is there going to be a brushless tail motor also ? Looks like the tail is blowing out doesn't make sense to have a brushless main motor and a brushed tail motor

[@rica0516]

thank you so much for putting up this video. If you don't mind could you post the setting you have on your tx? Im losing my tail every time I give the nano more than 70 percent stick. Thank you very much again!

[@zoomtt]

what radio are you using? The tail being loose can be a number of things, Old tail motor, damaged tail blade, etc. But I also found a good battery like the new efilte 45c batter makes the tail nice and solid.

[@rica0516]

zoomtt I have only had one bad crash, in result I had to replace the spindle. I actually just received a new canopy today (goblin style) and the extra weight stopped it from happening. The nano I have is fairly new and I try to really take care of it along with my other helis. Thank you for responding.

[@rica0516]

***** ohh sorry I didn't answer your question. I have a dx6i. Im going to go look at that battery. I have a few batteries for the nano about 8 or so.

[@nintendofanboy45]

Awsome! I want it sooo bad

[@robertwendel1805]

I installed this brushless kit when it first came out, but I always thought the gear mesh was too tight. Any comments or suggestions on how to fix this?

[@javiernunez3115]

where can i buy it .. please ... Blade brushless motor..

[@patrickdistefano2539]

Does the tail blow or wag know given the extra power? If it does should i upgrade my tail to the mcpx v2 tail or mcpx v2 extended tail since the original is going to have to deal with the extra brushless torque?

[@jakelang4387]

Turn up the gyro

[@smigadrum]

Hi, are the 25c batteries ok or do you definitely recommend the 45c? thanks

[@joespino3094]

does this work on the nano s3, Thanks, Joe

[@eb_z0694]

I found this kit buried at my LHS today and installed it on my S3. The motor connection is different on the 5in1 board on the S3 so I chopped the connector off the old motor and spliced it on the BL ESC. The 5in1 also has a large chip on the front I assume is the AS3X system so the ESC tapes on like 2.5mm farther forward which leaves hardly any wire length for the motor leads but I made it work. The CG on mine is jacked now with the weight of the ESC added to the nose so I run the battery as far back as I can. Kinda awkward but works I guess. Have not gone 3D yet with it yet because a storm passing nearby is bringing unusually high winds to my backyard. First impressions, on my usual setting of 90% throttle in stunt 2 it would not even hardly take off which was weird. I raised it to 100 and it flies like it did before. Accordingly my 4 min flights on a 180mah pack became 3 minute flights. Havent noticed a real bump in power but it does seem to bog a bit less often in sport flying I guess. Honestly for the work of finding a kit and the $50 cost, I'm not convinced it was worth it. I expect the microheli aluminum swash and DFC rotor head i just ordered will be more beneficial upgrades.

[@javiernunez3115]

Hello friend, where do I buy the brushless motor package .. if you can pass me the page please, greetings

[@ModellbautechnikSalzkammergut]

good movie!

[@elyssa0204]

can you put the dx9 setting for cpx please I cant get negative pitch on stunt 1 and 2 just in normal mode

[@BlvlWmpower]

Most likely pitch curves not typed in right on stunt 1 and 2. Did you copy the setup page of the manual?

[@patrickdistefano2539]

How many teeth on the brushless motor pinion?

[@timmyd463229]

Man I miss flying my rc helix ....how is the durability of the nano

[@zoomtt]

If you are good at hitting throttle hold when crashing, it is very durable.

[@timmyd463229]

Ha I haven't flown in like a year I would probably destroy it I destroyed my mcpx evertime I flew it lol

[@ambrosekillpack4841]

can I use this for the nano s3?

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Will this brushless system work with the Nano CPS?

[@zoomtt]

I am not sure, but I am thinking it would. If you get it to work let me know.

[@kevinmason124]

It will work, but requires a new motor plug to be soldered in.

[@xTotalGhost]

Hey guys i installed this upgrade and now my heli shuts off at 1/4 throttle even on slow start.

[@jdnic1]

same, esc sucks, but the answer was to get the 45c battery. this motor and setup is a power hog.

[@Sheedy1979]

Battery life extended or worse now?

[@zoomtt]

I get about 3 mins of flight doing 3D. If you have a slower head speed and easy flying I am certain it will fly longer.

[@4thGloryMonday]

So is this system still holding up?

[@otc-x1-b9]

Yep.

[@sfbrown69]

Focus!

[@mainlymusicman]

lol, you didnt even show the hardest parts , you just showed it after you had the install completed.

[@artest7]

CAn someone please explain to me why someone would buy/upgrade/fly one of these helicopters vs a quad? It seems kinda boring just going up and down and with the upgraded brushless motors up and down FASTER! Woo hoo?
