AR7200 INSIDES

[5.0 MUSTANG]

I would like to open the AR7200 and check the gyro. What is the best way to open it and where is the gyro located? How to check and reset/reprogram the gyro? I realize this is very technical; but I know someone has pictures and experience with the AR7200 insides.

Thanks.

perhaps posting this in the beastx forums will get you more responses

I wonder what you think is in there?

If you are into reprogramming things, I would think it would be a lot cheaper to just buy a ZYX type system and look at playing around with it.

Screwing around with a AR7200BX is most likely to result in an inert hunk of junk.

Or look through the 130x forum. A couple of people have decased the BX and are using it on the 130x.

Not sure why the need to open the case to "reset/reprogram". I don't see anything worth hacking the ar7200bx for.

I agree.

What exactly are you "checking" for? It seems like you don't know. You say you want to check it, but then ask how to check it. I feel like if you don't even know what for, why you want to, or how to open it up, then you probably aren't qualified to do that in the first place.

I'm fairly confident that you aren't going to "make it better". Then again, maybe I have misspoken and you are a better electronic engineer than the cats at Spektrum.

Here, I'll save you the trouble (previously posted on HF by someone else; not my pic)

Thanks Skidpad. I am trying to locate the gyro.

HAHA, now That's funny.

you want to hack a AR7200bx? Thanks for running the pic, I would not have known the antennas are the inter-changeable ones with the push in ends.

Funny, I asked the local hs rc guy why Horizon didn't mix the Spektrum rx with a more cost effective zyx/robird/etc. gyro and offer the 300 for $199 or something. The hs guy said that if Horrizon licensed the rx tech to a clone gyro company proprietory rx info would have easily been lost and cloned across the board. You can already bind a Spectrum satellite from a zyx and that can be piggy backed on the zyx.

If you crunch the numbers you are buying a $100 heli with a $230 gyro/rx all in one box.

I thought the op wanted to use the ar7200 without the case to make it lighter, as they do with a beastx on a mcpx/msr/130 'cetera to save weight.
