Administrators Arcade King Posted July 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2013 Might help if we knew what type it was Eg coaxial, fixed pitch etc. I'm going to assume its coaxial. I had one that wouldn't take off, turned out to be a broken rod between the upper and lower blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toads Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Was the problem after you crashed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Maybe it doesn't spin as hard? (Stuffed batteries ) I got some cheap rechargables off eBay they lasted about half a dozen recharges before being stuffed. I now only get rechargables locally.

RaMpAgE Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Problems that effect rc helicopter lift. 1. Not enough head speed and/or collective pitch. 2. Spinning may be due to the gyro not holding the tail with enough pitch on the tail blades, if no tail rotor and counter rotating blades, problems with the motors that control each set of blades. The gyro needs adjusting. Or see the first note. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwf Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 thanks for the replies just had a closer look at the helicopter and one of the nylon gears are stripped the chopper I have is a EV01 Gyro RC Helicopter is there anywhere I can by a new nylon gear? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaMpAgE Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Buy a new one and keep that one for spares. Its $35. I reckon a gear would be $10 even if you found one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
