| You're using the High auth. tail motor with the stock rotor ?
I got a GWS direct drive motor and slapped it on the tail, with a 3x2 prop that comes with it. It works awesome. No more tail authority problems. I did add a little piece of lead to the nose to balance since my Lipo's are so light. But with an astro 010, a few grams of lead is no problem. Try the direct drive. I think you'll find it works better and the motor will last longer. The only detriment is that it looks kind of funny with the little orange 3x2 prop..oh..and it does buzz. But these technicalities are soon forgotten when you're no longer fighting the tail.  |
I dremaled the tabs off that hold the back plate on the motor and slide the whole works out. I was pretty shocked at how simple it is. Just 2 small copper tabs holding the brushes. I of course bent these in slightly to ensure a good contact to the armature.
