HI Guys,
I'm a newbie and have read ALOT of info on RC heli's. Finally bought my first heli. I bought a Walkera 53Q3 and out of the box I started having problems with the top blades not spinning. I remember seeing Nuttcaze's video on the Blazing Star, that was having the same problem a while back, but can't find it now. Can someone PLEASE give me some info on how to correct this problem. Thank You

Maybe motor is dead? Or crystal is not making good contact. Try to remove crystal from tx/rx and bend contacts a LITTLE bit towards each other. Then insert crystals back to their places :bigthumb:

Sorry for not giving more info, The heli is 2.4 so it does not have any crystals. As far as the motor, I switched the connections around at the 4-1 and now the bottom rotors (other motor) is not spinning. The blades will start spinning, but then they stop. I have tried giving left and right rudder and sometimes that will get the blades going again but then they just stop. This is my first heli and I am kinda getting discouraged. I dont know if I should just try and get a different heli. I have searched for a solution to my problem but can't find one. Someone PLEASE help...

Try to remove (unscrew) motors and then try them. You'll clearly see that motors are spinning or they are dead Wink

I tried that also. Both motors are good. I dont know if maybe there may be a problem with the 4-1, or the Tx, or the adjustment on the 4-1. I have not tried to make any adjustments on the 4-1, just not comfortable doing that at this point without reading up a little more on it. I know that the Blazing Stars were having the same problem and Nuttcaze had a vid on the issue that I saw quite a while back. I cant find the vid now. I sent him a PM but he must be busy cause I have not heards back from him yet.

the conclusion I came too about the rotors stopping sppining was that its caused by throttleing up too slowly, the internal gyro senses that there is no rotation to counteract so it stops spinning one set of rotors, but even if throttling up quicker doesn't help then it sounds like you have a bad motor.

The reason my vid isn't up anymore is because from now on I'm really not gonna have anything to do with any helis except ESky, that and I'm not exactly happy with xheli and their companies, I signed up for an ad program with them 4 months ago and still haven't been paid my $250 in commission, meantime because of my ads they did an additional $5000+ worth of business just through my website alone. And I'm still waiting to be paid orange3
