Friend of mine got a losi mini 8ight yesterday. Gonna get my jato goin and hopefully post up a vid soon!

 

I CAN'T SOTP BREAKING SHIT!!!

 

that was meshed way too tight...

 

This, and I couldn't help but wonder how tight that slipper adjustment was.

 

Slipper being to tight won't cause this. Your gear mesh was off. I use a piece of paper to mesh gears

 

Ha... yea...

The thing I'm trying to figure out is.. I set it and left it with a bit of play so this wouldn't happen.. I guess it took a couple hits a little to hard and they inched together.

 

Yes, little to no slip is harder on your gear set, causing excessive premature wear, as soon as one tooth gives up (breaks or wears to the point of a non-mess state) the pinion will eat the rest in a matter of seconds. I agree that it appears mesh was set incorrectly, and prolly caused the castastrophe, but a slipper is for more than traction control.

 

So now I am hooked on R/C helicopters. My first one is the 120 SR and I love it. Can't wait till I am good enough to move to a CP bird....

 

I know the feeling. I've been into RC for quite sometime, but have just been bitten by the heli thing as well. I, as well just got a SR, fun little chopper. I posted a pic a page or two back of my helis.

 

Would you mind explaining how you do that?

 

just put the paper between the pinion and the spur....this should set a good spacing between them.


and about :45 sec in shows how pro racer adjusts slipper

Yeah I saw that. Nice....just left the LHS from buying more parts i need to learn how to fly this thing mang!

 

It's a challenge, for a noob like me, but that's why it's fun.

 

That is exactly why I fly it....

 

scored me a novak havoc pro 550 4.5t system for my Exo over on rcshortcourse.com

now i just need my Exo to put it in


still have the havoc 3s system for sale

But then wouldn't they not be making contact? Or am I thinking too hard about this?

EDIT: nevermind, just googled it. Thanks!

 

Yeah, the thickness of the paper is about perfect spacing. This (correct mesh) will also make your gears wear much better, (not a shot). The lower the pitch, the less it does matter though.
