Does anybody still fly the mx450?
Mine is the one I try new maneuvers with so it gets crashed the most.
The drive gears are getting hard to find. Are there others that will fit with no or maybe small modification?
I keep stripping gear teeth. I found that my frame is flexing and the gear lash increases under load.
My fix for that is to install a second motor mount bracket just behind the motor. It acts like a bulkhead. Also I installed a couple of the brackets for the tail drive shaft, in between the frames at the front.
This really stiffens up the frame.
Now I just need to figure out what to do about the main gear.
Any Ideas?
