Do you mean the stock washers? I got the MH head and blade grips, using stock spindle. When I use the MH dampeners, and the stock washers, and do a test tighten, the blade grips can’t move. not good. when I try and assemble without the stock washers, the blade grips move but it’s a little notchy, and not smooth operation. when opting to use the stock dampeners with the stock washers, it’s smooth as butter, and zero play. I left it that way. Bummer, not sure what is wrong with the MH dampeners???
Man Jeff, that really made that bird look sharp!!! I still have several Micro Heli kits I need to build up. I really like the way they dress up a helicopter and also add to the strength and durability. I really appreciate you walking us through this stuff!!! As always, thanks for being there with your experience brother!!! Oh yeah, I had to crack up when you showed us how anyone even someone with your experience can mess up when those wires came loose from the tail rotor motor. I love how you took it in stride and just used it to teach us. Good job!!! 👍🤠👍
It really made an incredible difference on this model! And even made a big difference in the flight performance! That video will be posted tomorrow. Insane how good the helicopter flies now! Everybody screws up including myself LOL I could’ve edited that part out of the video and just made it like it never happened but that’s not me and you guys see all my screwups as well! Lol
The best upgrade for the Infusion 180 is the MicroHeli head and swash! It’s a must, so much smoother and no vibrations and way better tail performance from the head being smooth and no vibrations.
Yeeaaahhh...That microheli stuff is like addictive candy! Looks to me the better advice is to just pull that tail boom block. Easier to work it that way I'd think. Looks beautiful!
it really is! just got a few more MicroHeli parts for the Infusion 180 I can’t wait to install! it will then be a MicroHeli 180 lol yes pulling the boom block could be easier! and safer lol
Very Nice! Terrific job wrenching, sucks about those Tail Motor wires but I believe that you will repair them and have a spare Motor once again. I have always wanted a full blown MicroHeli 230S but it's difficult for me to justify the price when you can buy another 230S V2 Smart for the same money. Once again, great job and it's almost unbelievable that it's only a difference of 8 grams. Cheers, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy my friend!
Thank you! Microheli makes incredible parts and quality is always top notch! Yes the kit is the price of anther 230 but helps the 230 big time! At least just the main frame! Stock frame as lots of flex. I tired to repair the tail motor but unfortunately I ripped the windings out of the motor so only way to fix is to rewind the motor and just not worth it lol so I’ll keep the bell just incase I strip the screw holes or damage so how. Only 8 grams and made such a massive difference in flight performance!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 You have flown it already, lol., you couldn't wait. Awesome, I hope you have a Fantastic day Flying tomorrow! I've got to take my Dog out of town tomorrow but I look forward to seeing a flight video when we get back home. Stay Safe!
A little confused about why the feathering shaft gets lubricated. Are the bearings not ball bearings? Wouldn't lubricating the feathering shaft encourage the race to spin on the shaft rather than the bearing itself to function properly?
The grease on the feathering shaft is for the head dampeners, as well as the thrust bearings and keeping the head well lubricated. The bearing them self will no spin on the race on the shaft. Some don’t grease the shafts at all but I do on every heli.
Is this DFC design the cleanest and strong of all 200 sized helis with M2 bolt? I have seen a lot of others. The 180 smart uses M1.6 that looks ready to bend at the first hard landing and the M1.6 is extra long for bending because 180 smart's pitch doesn't curve toward the hub at all. The Oxy2 uses a spacer to compensate for the short pitch arm that doesn't curve toward the hub enough. And the spacer hangs in the air held only by the compression of DFC pin bolting that is not meant to provide compression. The OMP DFC uses 2 ball bearings driving up cost and OMP abandoned DFC entirely with last year's 200 sized Evo and Goosky merge. Horizon and Microheli are the only ones doing the right thing.
Concerning the tail boom: at my heli they winded the cables around a crossbar of the chassis, with a knot. A hard job to replace the tail boom. First I need to free the knot to replace the tail boom. Who made this!?
So, what about durability of those feathering shafts from Microheli? Is it really much stronger than a stock one and it can handle crashes without bending?
I kinda want to do this with my blade 150s. I am just uncomfortable using loctite. Literally never used that stuff before. Also it's an expensive upgrade and I'm broke right now.
Loctite is a must on ALL helis. Any time you put a screw in or remove a screw you must always use loctite. MicroHeli upgrades are well worth everything penny!
12:47 I broke two servo cases trying to put that bugger back on. 🤬. After I completed this build on my 180inf, my rotor pitch is totally dorked up. I leveled the swash plate (I think, leveler tool came with no instructions) but now as soon as I connect a battery the blades shift to a steep positive pitch. I tried spooling up and it was trying to lift off before reaching 40%rpm. How do I reset the default servo positions in the controller so it sets a correct pitch?
@@lancesmith6724 never have I or anyone soft mounted a motor unless gas/nitro and even then still bolted directly. Have motors spinning 50k plus RPM with zero vibration, if you have vibration then your prop is out of balance. No need to soft mount any motor just make sure you have a balanced prop. Plus “soft mounting” a tail motor or any motor can cause quite a few problems, especially on a tail motor. Motor will have flex and gyro will act crazy. Soft mounting a motor is a bad idea.
Update! When using the microheli dampers don’t use the spacer form stock head. Assemble without them.

Good to see Rakon makes upgrades for this heli, too. I much prefer them as I've had some bad parts from Microheli in the past.
That’s good!

I haven't even gotten my 180i in hand yet and you already have me browsing the upgrades market 😵💫

I got the blade 70s kit,everything went together perfectly,excellent kit,now I have to get one for the 230s.
Micro helli always comes through
Yes they do!

Will I just got a upgrade kit from mircoheli for the 230
Very nice! Makes the 230 fly much better!

Ugh. My build was going great until I snapped off the mounting slots on my starboard servo. 3-5 more days...
After you do your upgrade with the MH head and swash plate do you need to level the swash plate with a MH leveler? Thanks for your help
No, as long as you have not redone anything or changed servos horns or stuff like that. It’s a bolt and go!
Super video. But exspencive???
Yo soft mount that tail motor
Lol why? Soft mount? No tail motor is soft mounted.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I understand i fly drones an it cuts down on vibration an should help the GYRO!

I just ordered a lot of shit threw micro heli I made sure to put west hobbies rc for code so they know I followed your link.
Awesome! Thank you very much! It helps me big time and keeps them wanting to work with me! Enjoy all the MicroHeli parts!
