My steering wobbles on wheelies and hard to keep it straight.
@@tylerseabook9423 tighten the servo saver or get a new one. Might be time for a better servo too.
@@Rusty-Metal the savers tight. Wobbles bad
what was gearing ??
Don't remember. Haven't run it in a year.
Ill buy
I have a Mad Force cruiser (same driveline) I put 3 gallons through it with not one transmission problem, other than having to set 3rd gear, but I also set mesh before it ever saw fuel. Honestly the most reliable R/C I've ever had, and I have been in the hobby since 1995. I will say the bodies are weak however.
Nice video. Do you have the part number of the TLR tuned axle V3?
@@tizrc1358 I thinks it's only a v2. Not sure of the part number. All stock should be the new version.
A piece of shit indeed!!!!! Only couple hours of use on it. Now no spark. bad coil.
Did you use a flex hone or flat stone brake hone? How did you keep the flat stone from entering the slot in the housing when you run it in there? Did you make a spacer or something to take up that slot? I have the same issue and I’m going nuts right now.
It's skips over the slot. It did chip the hone a tad. I used a flat stone cylinder hone. Check around to be sure this doesn't ruin anything. I haven't seen any issues so far, but you never know. I think really my issue was burs and high spots on the quill. Because it took a lot of work on that too get it to fit finally. I used an India stone on that running it in figure eights. I could see the marks where it seemed to rub on the housing so I worked on those. I found it quite odd as you could not even feel those high spots! But that finally worked after literally hours of rubbing. It was so damn frustrating. I feel your pain. Two evenings I gave up. I just got so frustrated.
@@Rusty-Metal update: I borrowed a two stone-two felt wiper hone from the job. Honed about 3 light passes and whipped it out real careful. I don’t have a foggy clue what the hold up was but it’s a good running fit now with no tight spots or drag. I gained the confidence to do that from your video so I appreciate the unintentional push to resolve the issue with this method. 😎👍
@@NeMoC53 so glad to hear!
As awesome as this truck looks, especially with the solid axle design (something you dont see at all these days), the quality issues keep me from buying one. Kyosho seems to be even more stuck in the past then Tamiya and while they also ask a high price for a made in Japan produce, they now have many parts produced in China. I am not paying that "made in Japan" money for something thats not made there. And these parts are obviously lower quality. Like: the one way bearings are apparently no-brand China ones, instead of high quality ones from Germany and they often seem to go bad from what I have seen, servos also seem to fry alot and cause runaways. Then theres the clutch bell bearings issue (likely also low quality bearings) or the plastic gears getting chewed up by the gear shifter prongs. And that REALLY expensive shell (70€ for unpainted, 110€ for painted?!?), is like glass. Look at Tamiya shells, they cost way way way less and can take a ton of abuse. I will probably end up buying a Savage XL 5.9, even though I like the USA 1 more, simply because of the quality issues and design flaws.
@@xXYannuschXx yes this is definitely made on China and has qc issues. The trans is still a joke on my 2nd one. I had to create a 2 speed trans using their 1/8 scale on road parts to fix this one. Thankfully it's never needed any work after that. I am surprised.
Nice view rob and great flight
Awesome truck. Ordered the VE version. Would have gone nitro but down here people literally call the cops for noise complaints. It's fine for people to take a dump on the sidewalk though. Welcome to 2024
@@davidh5429 people suck!
Nice flying
Are you running the Pro-Line Badlands Belted 3.8”? Also did you widen the wheelbase on your Sledge?
Yes those were. It was extended by previous owner. Took those off.
Golden years 👍🏻👍🏻
Long flight on that heli. Looking at your yard, its plenty big enough to learn inverted hovering which is where you need to start anyways. Also, the Goosky S1 and S2 is a great resilient trainer for anything you want to do. It takes a very hard crash to break parts on either of these helis, and parts are dirt cheap. I dont believe your Vbar touch will work with them, though.
@@Walking_on_Chips I had both the m1 and m2. Too darty and small. I don't like small helis. Great helis though for the money. I prefer my 600 and 700 for practice though. Much easier to see and control. Crashes are expensive though! I've been trying flying reverse inverted this year and man do I need practice!
I am curious. As good as a heli pilot as you are, actually excellent, how is it you have a beginner heli like this? I have to know!!!
I'm pretty much an intermediate only. Thank you though! I started with a blade 230s and it holds some nostalgia for me. So when horizon sold them for 99 bucks by accident, I grabbed one.
@@Rusty-Metal Understood, thanks for reply.
ive crashed the hell out of mine and theyre cheap to repair not to mention many times you get 2 parts for like 6$ so youre good to crash twice lol. I hate the red as well. Only suggestion I would give you to get a better feel out of the heli is to toss RT 385 on it, the align are trash.
Very nice work sir
Where do I get this part from? I need one for one for a 2016 and I can’t find just the u joint.
You have the buy the whole shaft for 700 plus!
Before the Summer's over I'll be 66 how much time for my yearly truck down to 2 lbs away it's 11 me 22 round trip build up strength as I go and learn as I go
Burt don't even fly the trash servos. Lol
Also a victim of a thrown brand new 240
do u remember what size packs you used?..5000's?..5200's?
3300 and 5000
I like your heli videos you give a more balanced opinion, other reviews on UA-cam are just adverts telling the people how great the product is.
so actually that's why I kept the channel going. I was tired of the heli bs I'd see and hear. Couldn't believe anyone.
That's why i dont buy scorpion motors anymore, yes they are cheap, but they get hot as hell... Nice helicopters👍🏻 Kontronik and Xnova are my favorite....
you can heat your burrito on them !
@@Rusty-Metal 😂😂👍🏻
Its a great beginner heli but thats it. I glad i sold mine, it was a pos! I even bought a blade fusion 360 3s for $500 new (i know what a dumb ass) it was a pos too. So many things wrong out of the box. And that shitty fbl does some weird shit! Ive heard horror stories about the 6250hx. When people ask, hey i wanna get a cp heli, i recommend goosky or omp cause parts are cheap and performance is solid. Lol "flys like a drunk" Also the best fbl spectrum ever came out with was the ar7210 beast X. That 6250hxb, its like they took a 16 bit PID drone micro controller, tried to configure for helis; then added spectrum magic, threw it in the oven with other bs and it came out half baked. Thats what it is! The 6250hx is a half baked FBL unit! Im done with blade helis. The cost of parts and the performance of their helis are lacking. There is so much to tweak and fix out of the box. They make great beginner helis but if u want performance blade is not it. A tail boom for the gosky s2 is 4$ vs for their new infusion 120, the tail boom 14$ "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing"
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzsssssassssssesswssssseseeeeeeeee
Xxxxdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddeeddeeeeeeeeeeeeee
that was super...hope the wife did not come home and say she just crashed the car.. now that would be a bad day. a lot of damage for an into a tree crash....very strange. looked like you are doing a lot of overhead flying which for a heli is very difficult...for me anyway :)
I don’t know, maybe you got a lemon, I’ve got a Huskqvarna 235 best little machine I’ve ever had. it’s a great little piece of shit. lol . I’ve had mine for almost 10 years. Never a problem I also have a much bigger machine 3400 XP pro that one I’ve had since 1985. preventative maintenance thats all it takes.
Well known issue on the 240. Just needed carb adjustments. Works like a beast now 3 years later. 0 issues.
can you teach how to play like this
“Umm dumm dumm dumm dumm, that’s about it”… I don’t have that much cumulative info in my brain about all things combined. Well done sir!
Sounds great ,absolutely nothing wrong with that!..😎👍
Hi, i got few questions :) Is it worth to buy Logo 550 and then stretch to 600, or better to buy 600 frame since the swash and other parts probably will be stronger? Also, if i fly low head speed then will 500/550 electronics work fine on 700 size? And final question, how Logo 550/600 stay in a crash? I heard that shafts are kinda weak and bend easily.
The 600 boom in also longer and thicker, bigger belt, swash and grips. Yeah. Not worth it.
it's a kyosho, kyosho is #1 the jdm of rc.
Sounds and runs awesome
Nice buggie
Dude I love Nitro I like electrics only for indoor race tracks. You ever compete or run at a race track?
Years ago I raced at Larry's indoor off-road.
I'd be sitting up on that balcony flyin' from there!
I used to!
Does your Usa1 seem to always drift to one side at one speed? Also it Torque wheelies
Yup. The torque lifts is up and the 4 bar system allows it to twist since it has panhard bars but no swaybars. Kinda part of thr fun of it. Drifting is not an issue any longer since I've done steering mods and am using a powerful servo.
I know this is an old Protos 700 video,I also have the Protos 700.I remember you mentioned that you removed the tension pulley for the main belt.How's that working out for you since you removed it?I have the old design for the motor mount with the tension pulley.No one sells that main belt size now since XL Power redesigned the motor mount with a shorter main belt.I'm on my last new main belt,i really don't want buy the new motor mount,i understand that the new motor mount has a bottom bearing block for better strength and support which requires a longer motor shaft to reach the bottom bearing.My motor is using a 6mm motor shaft (XNova 4530) and not long enough to use the new motor mount,which is another reason why I don't want to buy the new motor mount.Anyway,i hope to hear back from you about the motor mount that you modded and also hope that you still own that Protos 700 to give me an update on it.I'm assuming you were using the shorter main belt for it after you made the mod?
It's been good and I'm not using the lower mount yet. But it's only been some 20 flights! I don't fly much anymore and usually fly nitro when I do.
@@Rusty-Metal Thanks for the reply,after this main belt is worn out I guess I'll try your method.Im using a smaller pinion tooth count (18 tooth) whereas before I was using a 20 tooth and would literally break main belts during flights,since reducing the tooth count I haven't broke any belts maybe because smaller tooth count and less tension on the main belt.Im hoping that since I'm using a lower tooth count that the motor shaft should be fine without the lower bearing support.
I've flown my Oxy 4 Max now a bunch with 5s 1300mah batteries and it seems nice, I am going to replace the scorpion esc with a lightweight APD 80a and the mini servo for a micro servo, should have a flying weight of 1100g or so after that
Oxy 4 max is a much better heli than this omp m4.
😮😮😮😮😮 omg amazing sound and amazing old school heli by kyosho😮😮😮 The shelf queen❤ thanks for sharing 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ol' girl ready to work!
Though I am a beginner. I bought a blade 230s after recommendations from other youtube vids, saying it was a good learner. Been strugglling with it for months. Then I went and bought a OMP m2. Then I realised what a piece of rubbish this 230s is, now wish I never wasted my money on it. I suppose if I can fly the Blade 230s I can fly anything, as it is all over the place. Tried all the recommended swash levelling etc. But its different every time I change the battery, even though I put the battery in same place. The OMP M2 is rock solid and does what I tell it to do.
230s is the best one I've owned from blade, and that's not saying much as I've had lots of turds from blade as well.
Did you tighten the knee when going side to side? the weight can tilt the knee thus giving you higher readings on end of table. also loose gibs does this also.
Yeah. Knee is locked. Gibs are as tight as can be without binding. Just an older machine with wear. 1963. 48 inch table doesn't help. They used too small of bearing surface for the saddle ways for a table that large in my opinion. I'm very happy with this though as it's just a hobby machine and very usable though most of the travel. Even at the ends for hobby use it'll be fine. Doubt I'll ever have something that long to mill that needs to be within 1 thou anyway. Still way better than my new, now sold, Taiwanese machine with 2 tho off on a 28 inch table!
Cool
I often was skeptical about direct drive helis and seems this video with your comments prooves it! Good old gear stuff is much lighter and nicer. Unless FBL in this M4 is just badly configured.
Is chassis shorter then stock?
I don't remember, but I think it was the same.
I seen a post the other day were apparently they came out with a different head for the M4 to make it a lot less responsive and more natural feeling. I never cared for the M4 either and I got a bunch of hate for it because everybody said, I was a fan boy. I just could never get connected with that helicopter.
Wow. That's interesting to hear about the head. Maybe I'm not crazy then! I hear ya. I'm not a great flyer, but I can still feel that this thing is ahead of me and just off.
