Nvm, i found out that were babysitting saturday night so me and my bro went and picked two of these little buggers, theyre alot of fun (I drove, got my permit today finally!). Sunday is gonna be a fun day haha.

Allright...So how big of a room are you guys using these in? I'm in a like 10x10 room and it's a pita right now...
Got done with my first pack, not too bad not great tho....Not very responsive to left/right, and there's a noticeable delay from when I hit the gas to when it goes...
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-08-2007
Allright, pack two went muuuccchhh better. Just needed a bigger room and some practice.

I can't wait until you start modding this thing......
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-08-2007
Allready did, lol.
Bent the spring on the throttle stick so it doesn't spring back. Makes hovering much easier imo.
I eventually want to make this accept a custom pack so I don't have to keep buying AA's...
Airhogs Havoc Heli - cheesecake - 11-09-2007
buy some 2600 rechargable AA's
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-09-2007
Rechargeables put out 1.2v. Non Rech...put out 1.5v (both of these volt ratings are per cell) so I'd have to add a cell or two more to make up for the less voltage.

i didnt think of that buy the enigizer lithiums those should last a while
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-09-2007
That's what I have in there now :joy:
Airhogs Havoc Heli - motoxer4life - 11-09-2007
I think the rechargeables in there suck, im using mine from my spektrum, 2500 mah energizer, and it doesnt get a full charge and it runs out too quick. So i switched over to regular and it worked much better.

Lol to late!! Thumbtack in the nose for faster forward speed( no need to turn the heli for forward flight!) Took off most of the stickers for less wieght!
Ponch, remember these run off of infared, works like a remote for your t.v. if the heli is not in your line of sight delays are pretty bad.

So...Point the remote at it?
Airhogs Havoc Heli - blktransam - 11-09-2007
yup lol
Airhogs Havoc Heli - mikeh - 11-09-2007
You guys suck.
Now I had to go out and get one of these. Like I needed another! I can't wait to play with it!
Airhogs Havoc Heli - firesprink281 - 11-09-2007
got the laser tag ones yesterday. fun as hell!! i used a small screw in the nose (the thunbtack didn't do it for me)
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-09-2007
Hey, with the thumbtack, do I just stick it in there? It looked like the batt was pretty close if I were to push the pin in, might puncture it.
Tape it on backwards like a dart?
Or I might break off the pin, and double side tape it on...idk yet.
Airhogs Havoc Heli - firesprink281 - 11-09-2007
didnt yours come with weights? they look like aluminum foil.
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Traxxas_Junkee - 11-10-2007
I just got mine a few hours ago. Pretty cool but it doesn't last that long a charge. Lucky to get 3-4 minutes of flight that it will actually go more than 2 feet off the ground.
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-10-2007
I broke mine. LoL...That very top blade thingy has a crack in it, the main shaft wobbles horribly, and the ass end won't stay still for nothin.
I'll just have to pick up another one
Airhogs Havoc Heli - Ponch - 11-10-2007
Venom Micro Rescue RTF
Look familiar?
Actually now that I look at it, it's a bit different than picooz's and havocs...

i might have broke mine too, when ever i start it starts spinning really fast to the left and just crashes. Ive held the trim down to the right for like 5 minutes and nothing. Maybe the back blade is bent or something?
Airhogs Havoc Heli - firesprink281 - 11-10-2007
check your tail rotor. its bent or cracked.
Airhogs Havoc Heli - motoxer4life - 11-10-2007
thanks, im gonna go try it now.
