    Hex screws keep stripping out...

    It was taught to me many years ago from a senior tech for removing either button head cap screws or socket head cap screws. It really works on most types.

    Hex screws keep stripping out...

    A little trick from being a field service engineer for many years. A snap punch is your best friend when trying to remove a striped button head cap screw. Put your metric wrench in the BHCS and use a snap punch to put an indention in the side of the BHCS, this will help lock the wrench tip...

    Futaba to Spektrum trainer leads

    It's not possible to buddy box two different brand transmitters. It has to be two of the same brand in order to work.

    KDE Direct has added Multi-Rotor Heli motors to their lineup

    Just thought I would provide some information about this. The 17-GA wire is overkill for the motor at the current it pulls. Gauge of a wire only matters with amperage primarily, and with the KDE2814XF-515 on 14” props, only talking 20.2A peak (100% throttle) burst. 17 GA copper wire...

    So my F550 fell form the sky

    There are actually 2 possibilities that could cause this to happen. We see this fairly frequent on the high power RC helicopter side of the hobby. Mostly from people who don't size their plugs. The solder joint is the first possibility as everyone else has pointed out. The second, is when the...

    New $579 6s Battery

    stevemaller nailed it, Most people do not understand what the "C" rating is and how to calculate it. 25C on A 22000mah battiery is perfectly fine for a constant amperage draw. Now just figure out what your amperage draw is per motor at hover and times that by the amount of motors you have. As...

    Hello jfro, The KDE 3530XF-400 motor is not considered a high pole count motor, you will have no problems running it with a basic ESC power system. Thanks, Chris

    KDE Direct has added Multi-Rotor Heli motors to their lineup

    Hello Bartman, It's 3 complete bearing set's per-motor. There is the main bearing at the bottom of the motor that you can see under the collar. Then there are 2 more bearings inside the stator at the top of the stator stack underneath the can. Thanks, Chris

    Balancing Tiger 26in props

    If a prop of that size and cost was not pre-balanced properly be for purchase, I would have sent it back. There is really no reason a product of that cost should have to be balanced by the consumer.
