    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    All hardened steel gears too! (except motor pinion. It's brass ). First reduction gear and motor pinion are helical as well. Locks in the intermediate gears for slop free operation and aids position holding.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    They were intended to go in to a 35% or 40% 3D model when I first got them. Larger planes have become somewhat difficult for me to manage these days for numerous reasons both public and private. I had them on hand so in they went :big-grin:. Also the extra has HUGE control surfaces (it is...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    FYI......The heating problems were mainly due to the way the original and V2 units were programmed. They had some "compatibility" problems with some Mfg's radios. All there units now have V3 programming. You don't hear any "digital buzz" any longer and they stay fairly cool but can get warm...

    The 2200 3s on mine made it a bit nose heavy all the way up front on mine. How do you have the expo set inside the Aura 8? Factory settings are a bit to light and need to be increased. I also dialed down the gain on the rudder to .04 from .08. Plane does not want to wiggle now at higher speeds.
