modifying my Blade cp pro

[scottyg32]

I want to mod up my cp pro, and I was wondering what the best mod's were so I can get the most out of my cp pro.

[zzw26n]

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

Or wait untill the new Eflite blade 400 comes out...
but, i have a blade CP pro, and i love 3Ding it.. My first helicopter i have ever flipped inverted, and i think its a great way to start off, and there really is no reason to modify it..

[Jonathan Ott]

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.

I thought the GWS would of been an awsome upgrade untill i found out it was an downgrade.. IMO... mine didnt ever work right..

[KEITH RUSH]

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.

[scottyg32]

where did you get the part's for the GWS

[ScG RaceR]

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!

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.

[Vernski]

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

Hey Guy-I have 500 fligts on a CPPRO-done all the mods--
and guess what?
IT STILL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!IT IS A MONEY PIT___TREX IS A MUCH BETTER DEAL-
The cppro parts are bundled for sale-you end up paying for parts you don't need-
crashing my TREX 600 is cheaper than the money I have spent trying to make the CPPRO into a good heli-and the stock radio is a real el cheapo POS

Well don't get your shorts in a knot, if you done all the mods why don't you tell the guy who started this thread about them. Like were they good or bad or whatever? If you put 500 flights on your pro and didn't enjoy it I just feel sad for you. And I got news for you all helis are a money pit. What does a good set of carbons for a 600 cost these days anyway? Well you know what they say about opinions have a nice day.---Vernski

What about the ms-composit hornet x3d? my buddy has a blade cp and they are about the same size. I have the hornet but don't know crap abput setting up a heli or mine would be flying better. perhaps some of the parts from the x3d will work on the blade? I dunno just figured i'd throw it out there.
