Xtreme Blade Problems (Blade CX2)

[Sac - man]

are these the blades you got ???
been having lots of trouble with mine now. did a complet rebuild on it 2 times, clean and lube everything, check for stratness, bought a new 3 in 1, changed blades 2 times ?????????. just will not fly right, will hover fine but as soon as I try to fly around it goes side ways and hites the ground. may be get some new motors next ????

SAC Man: I'm just getting a fairly well modified CX2 from a helo pilot who moved up into the TREX series....and will be just starting out and learning to fly. I see you're in Orangevale....maybe if I have some problems with setting it up you could give me some pointers. I live in Elk Grove.

ahh. cx2.com. kr hobbies also has an extreme kit. this is the kit i have. it uses the stock lower.
my brother has the cx2.com "extreme core" kit. he could not get the short flybar to work. said it produced a similar symptom. (no control) if you are using the short fb try switching back to the stock one.

yah i have the extreme core also. no problems with the short flybar. the blades they gave away as free with the extreme kit a few months back had bad blade design. the blades are the ones with the painted tips. my heli would go into an uncontrolable wobble and would lay over in the air. i called them cx2.com, and they said the blades were bad... i put the micro heli blades on and it flew like a champ. problem solved. that may be whats going on. gl

aha! thanx i'll relay the message to my bro. he also flies the painted tips.
