Bling, Mods, and Upgrades for the V90

Leave my buddy Clyde alone you little rodent.

The weight from the wire braid caused the servo to become unplugged from the receiver. humm

Seems to me that you think you are the end all of knowledge when it comes to heli's. If someone wants to build there heli there way that is there choice. This thread IS NOT asking for any advice what so ever!

The wire braid wieghts a couple grams. If you wire pulled out it was not from the wieght of the wire braid unless you servo wire was so loose it would fall out anyway. Sounds like you didn't get the wires plugged in all the way. But I know guys are always looking for excuses for failures and crashes other than the obvious human error.

Why would you come in this thread and trash it?

[Foxden]

I don't consider advising that there is very limited space under the radio tray "trashing this thread" so good luck to you sir.

You post "Bling, Mods, and Upgrades" and when people respond their trashing the thread

Metal servo horns arent going ot break all gears on every crash, I crashed on a hard top and broke 2 servos but one survived, i think your safer if you get to fly over grass.

I broke all servos using plastic horns, it really depends on how you crash, you might have a better chance of breaking the servos if the links dont break.

Reggy I was thinking more along the lines of preventing this

Ouch, I ran the radial Quick UKs on my 8717s, might depend on the servo?

Making friends and influencing people is a good thing. There's even a book. In it they write metal servo arms and wheels cost more than they ever save. They also write, listen to the voice of experience especially Capi and Clyde. C squared have helped so many people in the Outrage section, myself included. They're both Class Acts (by Capi's definition, too! )

Thanks! I will be sure to stay away from those cheap Outrage servos.

Were not trashing your thread, just sharing our ideas to help you out
Look at the first post, he wanted you to save money if a crash happened.
He didnt call you a name for using metal horns did he?

The wire braid material stretches when you open it to put the wire in and is locked in that position with shrink tubing. Once in a while the branding will have enough strength to Tory and pull back on itself and when it does that your servo lead will unplug. One more thing servo branding looks really nice but imo it is a pita to work with because it makes the servo wires have less flex, takes up needed space sometimes, and transfers vibes. Help is a good thing even when its not asked for.

You should note that the servo in the picture is a Hitec. But it wouldn't help this fellow's ranting, I suppose. Please keep up the tantrum. It's very funny to watch. TimT

Seems those two sentences are contradictory. There will always be someone who knows something you don't and to state that at some point you won't need anyone else's help is pretty arrogant. I think with this attitude, you'll find people's willingness to help you will be reduced dramatically.

That pic was from my last Trex 500 crash. Blew up all 3 servos on that one. (Check out my "Carnage" album for more pics) Outrage, Futaba, JR, Hitec.. doesn't matter.. If you crash hard enough you're gonna puke gears and like was stated previously, plastic arms will probably absorb some of those forces better than metal arms.

What you use is your choice and judging by the responses in this thread, you're going to do what you want anyways.

Lady's and Gents, this is the man who has over 40 years of RC experience, he is also the gentlemen that taught Steven Fox how to fly RC heli's and the single person who taught me the most about this hobby, he witnessed the servo plug coming out as I heat shrinked right up against the back of the plug some 8 years ago and as BOBTHEBUILDER32 pointed out it had enough tension to pull out, I was a bit green back then just getting back into the hobby from a nasty divorce in the late 80's when I was flying my GMP Cricket

This speaks highly to your skill set, the servo shown is a Hi-tech not an Outrage servo.

I believe everyone that responded pretty much hit the nail on the head, you had no intention of listening to anyone, so I think the best thing for all of us is to simply let you go on your merry way, good luck to you sir.

So it's his fault !!!

Anyone thats been in the hobby long enough can tell its a Hitec servo by looking at the twisted red/black/yellow wires.Same can be said about the aluminum servo arms/wheels,say bye bye to your servo gears or whole servo like the pic above if you crash good.Lots of misleading info from the op on servo brand and the cnc arms.

See I was gonna be nice and ignore that comment but then he didn't have the time to answer the question I asked...but Clyde did...imagine that....

Servo wasn't completely destroyed.. Had the top stayed intact instead of splitting a gear shaft mount (like the 5245s are prone to do) I may not have even chipped a gear. All 3 servos got new gears and a new top and work just fine. Having said that, I don't run the aluminum arms anymore.

I *did* obliterate an HS65MG in one of those "lawn dart from orbit" crashes on my 450SE - broken circuit board and everything - but the heli only lost blades, main and feathering shafts and a main-gear. Guess it depends on the crash.

[devens]

unbelievable

Do you mind if I build my heli the way I want to? This thread did not ask for any help! Your egotistical selves think you know it all. You can't even follow the rules of the forum and have no respect for the forum, a persons thread or others.

What part of I have been flying for SEVERAL years and NEVER blown up a servo with metal arms do you not get? Not in a giant scale plane or a helicopter. I will say I don't fly my heli over concrete or in front of semi's or whatever happened to your smashed bird. Seems my little plastic ball links come off way before any servo explodes.
