The BEST thing to do is Sell it and get a 450SE T-REX. No joke.

I'll say the same thing TT said. Save your pennies and get the B4003D.

I'm gonna get one when they are available (October'ish, right?)

One of the best mods you can do, is put a GWS direct drive tail motor on it. All of the parts will cost you about $26, and the tail response is night and day different.

Mine worked great and so did alot of other guy's. Sorry to hear yours didn't. Really a cheap upgrade for the response it gave.

leave it stock..... you must learn before you tinker....looking at your other thread, the more screws you play with the more you might go in the wrong direction

Good Luck Tho!

Thumbs up Re: modifying my Blade cp pro

Hey beam me up Scotty, here is some Blade CP Pro mods & wiki's you can do for your
bird enjoy. ---Vernski http://bladecprepair.com/man_bh_upgrade.html

I almost forgot to tell you about my tail mod, I changed out the N30 tail motor for a Heli-Max N60 it's a little heavier than than the N30 but not as heavy as the double motor mod. So far it has held up to 2 mo's of abuse and hardly gets warm to the touch. You can get the motor and mount at Tower Hobbies in the Heli-Max parts section
Keep it in the air Guys

don't wast your money or time. Just save up for something with better tall respons. Wicth every one hate about the bcp and bcp pro. With all the money that I put into the one that I have I could've had me a t rex 450.

Default Re: modifying my Blade cp pro

If I didn't want to waste my money & time I would find a different hobby. I think there is a little Blade bashing going on here, the time to tell someone not to buy one is before they have bought one. The one thing a Blade will do is transform you from a tinker to a fair heli mechanic. I think that a noobie starting with a T-rex is not the best advice, the replacement parts are a lot more expensive and overwelming to work on. Not that some can't do that, you can hover a Blade in your living room. I would be afraid to do that with my HDX 450 [T-rex clone] not that, that couldn't be done either.
But a crash is emenit not if but when it happens witch repair bill is cheaper?
Balance is the key for a Blade every thing has to be balanced good. The paddels, head, rotors makes them much easyer to fly. They all have there place on the heli chain I have a E-sky CP-2 and a E-sky HB K2 witch required just as much tinkering as the Blade. Fly what you have and enjoy the hobby.---Vernski
