TBH... I have no idea! This forum... make a post and let people comment... I came across a chap yesterday, on facebook, he calls himself "that hpi guy". He is local to me in UK, but he may be a good source... I am hoping to meet up with him next time he goes flying at the local beach. I may...

I wonder what stops them using LiFe batteries... A little lower spec and slightly heavier, but it would stop all this nonsense!

They have encased them in a steel case, with a vent to the exterior...

LiPo batteries grounding Boeing's Dreamliner again!

Good question... I got 30a esc's, but my motors may pull more current... If I remember correctly, they're 20/25A I orginally bought a 4x20a integrated ESC unit, because it's the same footprint as controller and would be centrally installed, before I decided to go for low Kv motors after...

hahaha! Just to throw another into the mix, I have the 910 Kv NTM 3536 PropDrive motors, which have pretty good reviews, seem quite robust and proved able to withstand my clumsiness so far, including a little smoke! So, altho, I only ever crashed them, or burned them, I seem to be able to offer...

Cool... so maybe that last link could be of some use... Are you in USA?

You mean your Flash 4 doesn't have DR or expo? Uhhm... why am I searching...haha

This shows an easy frsky DIY hack for the same system in mine, which seems to now be the industry std for 2.4 RC http://forum.giantshark.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3414&hilit=

What are those?

Found this... I like Mr Lezchek response! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1210031 Looks quite doable... save some wedge

I went for slower torquey motors and larger props for lifting heavy weights, camera etc... stability is obviously very imprtant, but I think this will work for me. If you are looking to flip and loop it, I imagine the v fast spin motors with small light props spin up and slow very quickly...

And no... I think flight times are pretty awful in general... have you seen that Amazon claims to be planning to deliver packages up to 30 minutes away... what batteries do they use? Or are they on compressed air or gas motors perhaps?

If you know anyone into electronics... or perhaps you RE YOURSELF, i BET IT WOULDN'T BE THAT DIFUCULT TO CONVERT YOUR hItEK tX http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__37861__Arduino_2_4GHz_Wireless_Transceiver_Module.html or by stripping a module and wiring them into your controller Wish...

The unit I have, has the old radio stuff in it, and the old unused ariel... the new module plugs in and takes over... there are PCB's for upgrades...

I'm sure the old receivers are upgradable... What is the model, I'll have a look

I think the controllers are all universal, and the plug in mudule you get determines the Rx you need... pretty simple, but I'm sure it's pretty easy to confirm

Just clicked... That Tx is low price, because it does have the RF module, which you plug into the gaping space in the back... I could be wrong, but that is the 2.4Ghz RF that came with my controller... so that would be an additional cost, plus the Rx unit

You can calc the flight time on E-calc... sorry to go about it, but I think it's really good even just to play about with is good nerdy type fun...lol That Tx looks fab... and low price!!! Wish I'd seen tt, but I got mine back in Nov so maybe it wan't out then His copter looks like an ace...

Ha... that's a nice flyer... I hope day I can get half that much control! I always thought the tri copters were steered by speeding up/slowing down the rear rotor, and by adjusting the forward rotors to match... so that's quite intesting, does it actually twist the tail boom? I went with a...
