My clubmate Kenneth crashes his new T-rex 250 trying to make tic-tocs.
We think it was caused by a cold Li-Po battery, because it was only about 5 degrees C (41 degrees F) in the sports hall when we flew.

  • ouch! how much damage?

  • Don't know for sure, but other than you could see, at least one of the frames.

  • You really think battery failure on that? Looks to me like the timing was just a bit off - you don't have a lot of room for error with these. Hope you can get parts for it!

  • Hi Jasmine

    No, I don't think it *only* the battery's fault, because Kenneth was really pushing it. But I think that the cold battery was *partly* to blame.

    Peter

    PS: Love your build videos.

    Keep up the good work.

    (and keep the music in the background down) :-))

  • Ouch, that sound it made when it crashed...

  • Yeah - it sounded even worse in real life. :-(

  • no this happens cause the gear needs to be change to a higher number and the battery volts need to be up higher as well your not the only one thats happen to doing tic toc

  • Nice flite... You have lots of practice for 3D ... I'm still whit my bi rotor and crash some time....lol... Have fun

  • I can believe how fast that thing reacts, no room for error. It was only a second between the inverted hover and the crash.! The good news is these are cheaper to fix than the bigger stuff!

  • i have the 250, and when you do tick tocks you really have to bring the heli back to probly less then 40 digrees and ease the collective. the head bogs horribly especially on 15t pinion.

  • And yeah, forgot to mention. I bet it sounded worse!! Most likely the combination of a hard surface and the echo indoors!!!

    Hope he's up and flying soon again!

  • I've just got a Gaui 200 a few days ago :). Just building it all up now, electronics are going to be a pain to fit...!

    Heard you've got one?
