I burned out a motor and I did the typical thing most people who get those types will do, took it back and then put that money towards the CX-30. Bad form I now won't do.

I tried that and unfortunately, I messed up the process and bricked the power supply. There were a large number of matching wires I tried removing by unsoldering them and I think there was a bleed over onto another part.

Even if I did, the problem is that it cannot charge the existing batteries because they are the micro or microR plug (won't know likely until the new charger gets here.) but if and when I get a brushless it should be worth more than a paperweight.

Thought I would post a few more of my rookie mistakes I decided to stay at the micro level and looked into a QX95S So, I moved to the next item on the list given to me by the earlier mentioned guy, charging station. I bought a cheaper version of the iMAX B6 Mini 80W Digital DC Battery Balance...

If this was months ago and I was handed the stray drone I posted about I would have danced a jig. But as soon as I took a closer look, I thought, "oh damn, it's a toy grade, not much I could do with it and it's not worth getting a controller for."

Welcome to Quad Addicts Anonymous! I imagine many of us have caused the rolling of eyes and the under-the-breath "that topic AGAIN?" in those around us more times than those people can count.

Two mods I did to my Taranis

Not drone but still interesting. http://www.astronomy.com/magazine/press-releases/2018/05/mars-helicopter-to-fly-on-the-red-planet

Liftoff (on Steam for $20) FPV Freerider (free/$5 don't go for the Recharged version tho) I use a Taranis QX7 transmitter for $107 that requires a 5 pin usb cable ($3-5) to work with your computer but make sure to choose the transmitter that will work for the type of drone you want to fly (good...

My first "mentor" was of the same mentality, "go big or go home" Tho not the reason I have chosen to stick with brushed micros, this is a pretty decent defence that size/type of the motor isn't everything. I am not looking for the fastest, most high-tech, can go from ground to stratosphere...

Cleaned up pretty good. Naw, I'm focused on a fpv brushed racer and all that entails.

First there was a drone taken down by a spear weilding viking, then there is this. https://www.rt.com/news/426012-gaza-protesters-israeli-drone/ Having some decent skill with a rock sling, I know how letal those type of primative weapons can be.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, it works! As for the overpriced game controller, sadly no and nor will the CX-30W tx. I am curious tho if the wifi camera/tx aspect would work on it. Update: camera powers up but no wifi connection.

Yea, going to slap on one I have from my CX-30s.

Going to be a plug and duck situation. It cleaned up pretty decent. I'm betting it was a maiden flight flyaway.

A coworker came in and handed me something his dog found on a walk in the woods It's a Syma X5C. It had the factory 2Gb SD card in the camera and found some videos and pictures (can't load videos yet) and the date stamp was 10/01/2013. I have yet to see if it's functional to any degree as I...

I have two both were pushed on me by a guy I worked with when I was an employee. I prefer the batteries since I have yet to convert my tx to a rechargeable.

Man, I thought it was a FPV set-up from HF and I was about to scramble for a coupon. I did get one of those cases the day I got my QX7, damn good item.

There are enough people with money to spend there that will counter the loss of a few bucks they might gain from a newbie like me.

I keep finding more things I thought I knew or understood and then find out it was incorrect that ends up being painful to my wallet. This is where a LHS would be good but the guy at mine isn't overly helpful bunless your buying a big purchase.
