WWW.RTF-HELI.COM -WALKERA CB180D/MADHAWK 300 DIRECT DRIVE TAIL MOTOR

An impressive electric helicopter that flies like a typical co-axial but is a single rotor 4-channel heli. Almost everything on the new Walkera CB180D / Exceed Madhawk 300 is designed well except for the tail motor, which is gear shaft driven. We have changed the tail rotor system to a direct drive (DD) tail rotor system for superior Rudder authority making this helicopter very agile. We also replaced the tail rotor blades with a stronger two-blade propeller and the main rotor blades with the Walkera High Performance Blades as they are more flexiable than the stock blades.

Walkera is making all of there r/c electric helicopters into Flybarless designs. This saves on additional parts and makes it easier to repair. The Walkera CB180D/Exceed Madhawk 300 flybarless version is the Walkera V200D02. It can use the same WK-2402 or the newer WK-2403 Transmitter.

So is this Walkera cb180d or the esky honey bee v2 better which one do you recommend more

[7RTFHELI]

@8Bernice The Walkera CB180D is better because of the newer design relative to the E-SKY HB V2. The Flybar is angled at 45 degrees versus the traditional 90 degree flybar. The newest design is the flybarless design. The CB180D flys just like a co-axial but with one rotor. Very easy for any beginner.

I got one of those, and on first crash, it broke almost all possible hard to replace parts. Had to order those cause they werent in stock as they were tagged "hard to break". Weak parts didnt break.

It broke the horizontal wheel that attaches to main motor, about 5cm across, that does the reduction to the main motor, it broke by torque, not by sideways movement.

It broke the main body to landing gear connections. The swashplate transfer bars. The swashplace stabilizer (part of main body), etc

@TheSilentwarrior99 The helicopter is only as good as the pilot. It can't fly itself. Practice, practice, practice !!!

Great mod. Can you advise what parts were used ie; tail fin, motor and rotor. I have one of these and it is fantastic.

Regards

im getting one of these on the 29th of december 09 so its pready sweet

@SuperNicholas50 The Walkera CB180D is way better because you have an additional dimension. A car can only stay on the ground. The helicopter adds the extra dimension of flight. A much better sense of freedom and power.

[TheSilentwarrior99]

@7RTFHELI True, but the problem is that the center (hovering position) of the servos was wayyy off, so, when it caught a little wind, i had no space left to compensate for it, so i pushed it down hard because it was getting close to a wall. It landed a bit hard, but, I wasnt expecting that much damage :/

I would expect that much damage if i had flown it straight into a wall at full speed, 2 stories up, ya know xD

I guess you get what you pay for right? xD

@kamuro1976 We agree that the stocks skids are cheap and break very easy. We used landing skids from Super Skids. It is Super Skids 200. Goto: rtf-heli.com and look under the Super Skids Menu or Walkera CB180D /Exceed Madhawk 300 Menu

@kamuro1976 Super Skids 200 - Goto rtf-heli.com

@kamuro1976 The white skids are also stocks skids just white. For better landing skids get the super skids 200 at our website. Flexiable plastic skids yet strong enough to withstand most minor crashes.
