Hi There,
I just bought one of these Assault 700 DFC, and had already some problems.
I fly F3C and soft 3D. And i needed one Heli to be my B. Model.
Unfortunately the maingear exploded in first f3c flight, Replaced with Original Align 112 th Helical maingear. After this i got vibrations all ower the place, an in every part of the Heli. I didn´t find the source for the Vibrations at the first time, I spend a lot of time balancing my blades ower and ower again. After a Day or two it hit me. Check the Blade Grips. And I found the source of the Vibrations. The wholes where not Round anymore, but Oval. SHIT IT´s a Death-machine. I replaced the blade grips with original Align 700 and used some 0,38mm shims behind the thrust bearings, and used the softer dampers from the F3C head, (The red ones) and whow! Now it´s a Perfect B Model. Perfect Hovering and perfect flight manoeuvres. So please to all of you who bought this machine, or considering bying one. Make the upgrades for your own safety. (Sorry my bad English) .... to HK for making a not safety Heli.

Well built. Gears changed to align. Align head and tail rotor then yes its a decent bird. But as it comes stock no i would not fly it
