Dont crash! I had this, I landed a jump, the velcro snapped and the lipo went flying haha

[Nitroholic]

Just bought a complete set of glow-in-the-dark parts for an mCX micro heli.

 

Have plenty of spare parts to put together a flyer on this from my parts heap. I now need to do a quick assess of the fleet to check how well each is flying and attend to all the little issues. I think the white shell will go best with the glowy bits 🙂

 

Also bought and have now received a small vac forming kit. Plan to make some new shells for the little flyers. I can model and then 3D print the moulds and use that to vac form. It;s just an A4 size unit, as I never intended to be doing larger stuff. The PLA prints run at 220C, so the hot plastic shouldn;t be a problem. If it is...then I switch to 3D printing moulds to put plaster into.

Not gonna use the strap that comes with it as tbf it don't look the best. Got some better ones in my spares. Fingers crossed all should be OK as I got a similar set up in my 4x4 and never had an issue 🤞

ok to ask where you got the complete set of glow-in-the dark parts for mcx from?

[markymarky]

Last bits for a while, well last expensive bits shall we say..... 

Rear uprights and shock tower for the 5ive.

Looks like they cheaped out with the shock tower, seeing as it only fits their diff housing neither came with fittings to mount it 🙄
