Not working for my FGr4S
I looked at the picture quality ones, and then I had to check when the video was made I was thinking it was gonna be like ten years ago
its just not waterproof anymore i suppose
@@falalandia I had it under water 5 or 6 times since this repair. The lens glass actually does not open up the sealed internals .
@@myrclife lence is glue sealed to the plastic ring.I Cant get how did you lock it down just by pressing 🤔.
Im looking at the flier 400a esc for my BJ42 and later I'm gonna upgrade to a TP power motor!!
@@RDM3DLAB I can't wait until u complete the build
@myrclife me neither $$ is always the issue I'm a disabled veteran on disability so I can't just go out and buy the things I would like. It takes me a lot longer but eventually I will. I will put a video up when I do.
She sounds awesome!! Great speed!!
Great video. Couple of comments. Your car DOES sound bad ass... Secondly, glad to see there are other people out there capable of destroying a $500 camera while doing fun, stupid s%#t. My camera accident was not quite as spectacular as yours was. I had it attached to a long pole leaning against my car and when I wasn't looking it fell over and hit the asphalt, scratching both lenses... duhhh. Anyway, great job showing the process of removing and replacing with new lenses. Hearing that last SNAP into place was the clincher! Great job. Thank you!!
Bruh nice truck
@@QZillasWorld thank you very much. Thanks for watching
A good honest video. Enjoyed it.
@@geofkane2365 I definitely don't sugar cote anything.
Does anybody knows the partnr from the shims or the size?
14:13 you have to turn invert on in Computer on heli app its turned off for safety reasons you have to manually turn it on fail safe 👍 from factory
@@mrbrettlee1 I did that in the next video.
@myrclife ok ill have to watch that one I've just bought mine same as yours it's comming tomorrow eek
Mike thanks for the videos, I just got the 450 and have flown it a few times and it’s awesome. What’s your advice about the battery and time usage? I was able to set the controller timer to go off at around 6 minutes, what’s the standard flight time for the stock battery for the just general flying? Any other advice for the battery or settings? Thank you
How much does lens y cost?
@@AdeevaMysha-vx9qr very cheap. I think they were $40
That dog down there has also a gyro in it? 😅
Thanks!!
@@OneWheelNation thank you for watching.
😂😂😂the puppy butt scrub!!!😂😂😂
As far as calibrating outside, you do not have to. Calibrating has nothing to do with GPS satellites whatsoever. Calibrating is for compass direction. The FW450 has 2 compasses. One is located in the flight controller and the other is located within the GPS tailboom module. That's it in a nutshell. Just don't be around anything metal or magnetized, which will throw off the compass calibration.
Hi, im fully registered. Drone pilot and i want one of theses Fw450's i have a few questions for you how long does the batteries last in the controller. Can you plug a battery pack into the controller Whats the plug underneath the controller. It looks like a printer plug do you have to calabrate every time you go to fly would it be ok to put normal AA batteries in or put Rechargeable ones in i am new new to this i want to up my flying experience would 1.2 volt AA be alright for the controller or does it need more Volts any help would be nice
I have 4 standard 1.2 volt AA batteries in mine. You can buy rechargeable AA's if you would like. I'm not 100% sure what the round port in the bottom of the transmitter is...I think it's a data cable for updating if you wanted to do that. Then there is a micro USB port to the left of the round port and I think that is for charging if you did decide to go rechargeable AA batteries. The transmitter lasts a very long time on a 4 set of disposable batteries. Probably like 10 flights or so. All of the info your requesting will be in the instruction manuals that come with the fw-450 if you happen to forget. Thanks for watching and messaging.
I've been reading on internet that many ESCs of the V3 are failing by the 2nd or 3rd flight, have you had any problems? I think i recall that even some of the replacement ESCs also failed. Do you still regularly fly it and are you aware of others having problems? By the way i really appreciate your helo videos, great job! 👍
I don't fly it a lot compared to how much I use some of my other vehicles but I fly at least once a month and the only speed controller that I had go bad is after I crashed it I smoked a speed controller but that was my fault otherwise my replacement one has been fine.
Okay I just received my FW450 V3 AirWolf that I ordered from MotionRC. Do I need to do this on my brand new helicopter right out of the box? Also can the FW450 V3 scale helis actually fly inverted? Or is that a bad idea to attempt with a scale heli?
I'm not sure on the inverted question. I would calibrate it just to be safe.
Locktight all diff screws its a must
Especially on these rigs
Parts ?
You did a fine job on explaining calibration procedures for the FW450 Helicopter. The one thing I would include in your explanation is, and it's important...when enabling low battery RTH in the program, remember to advise caution with this setting. If the Helicopter is flying UNDER and obstruction, when activated RTH, the Helicopter does not have obstacle avoidance, and will fly (crash) into the obstruction (wire, Tree). You ask? How do I know this? ha ha!
I have done the same thing my friend. Lol. More experienced people would already know this probably but not an inexperienced person. That's a good suggestion
I ordered one yesterday and was wondering about that, nobody ever mentioned obstacle avoidance so I kinda assumed that was the case. Sounds like I should leave it off because I plan on flying around the yard with it and it sounds like it could get me in trouble. Thanks for the tip!
@@nickarganbright7218 You plug it into the lipo and leave it inside the helicopter while flying. Believe me, you will be able to hear it while flying.
Thank you for showing the reciever layout. I bought this board for another airplane and I cannot find a diagram anywhere.
Whenever I have a problem I cannot find the answer to I decide to make a video about it. I'm glad this helped you
do u know if I can update my FW450 V1 with this new software?
I'm upgrading my GPS antenna to the new M10 version. Do I need to calibrate the new GPS antenna and if so, how do I do it? Thanks for yer time.
I'm unfamiliar with the m-10 version
Do you have a link of where you bought the lenses?
I can't remember
Man I can't find em anywhere

Good vid, im gonna do that fan screen to mine when i pick my new car up. Good idea. How did you get holes for the bolts in the screen ? I presume its stainless steel screen. drive or just punch something round thru it to spread it ?
First of all, thanks for watching & commenting. I came up with the idea because I was always getting rocks in my fan and breaking the blades😡. I sourced some stainless steel mesh (you were right😉) from the internet. I cut it to size and then pushed a pick (or anything round) through the square hole that best lined up with the existing fan bolt holes and bolted it all together. One thing I changed was I ended up pulling 1 row of mesh off from each side of the stainless cover because if it's exactly the same size as the fan housing it leaves a bunch of wire sticking out along all 4 sides that can poke you easily, removing 1 row of mesh off from each side (2 if needed) essentially makes the screen cover a bit smaller than the fan housing and then you don't get poked everytime you come in contact with it. I just thought I'd pass that along brother. 😁.
At first glance I’m like this isn’t gonna be a very good video. I was way wrong. This dude not only explains things very well, he talks through and shows u each and every single step. Unlike some other TH-camrs, he actually takes his time to show u not what he’s doing but how to do it and where each connection is made. Honestly one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank u.
Well thank you very much. This is why I do what I do. I might not be the best, but I TRY my best to do anything I can to help a fellow hobbiest out.
Your CoG seems to be wrong. I think it's tail heavy.
It was actually a bit nose heavy. If you're thinking it is tail heavy because of how it went up and then back down..... the gyro did that.
@@myrclife oh interesting 🤔
Thats what I THINK happened anyways. I glued it back together and tried again but clipped one of our PVC pipe stands we use while flying. I haven't tried again since that day. The first two attempts that flight or not successful so I'm hoping the third time is the charm for whenever I decide to give it a shot again
@@myrclife you could try to move the battery a bit forward 😉
I used to have a half a dozen of these, along with a lot of NOS parts. Most of the modern parts will work with the older units with exception of some parts. When they sold at my auction years ago, they sold for well over 100 dollars each. They brought in more than some of my seed signs. We used one of them on a 200 foot hose and it did quite well being able to water a very large amount of grass.
I love old time inventions. Back when things were meant to last and were built to be serviced....not just thrown away. "Break it, fix it, wear it out........Make it do ..... or do without" That's how life was back then.
idk if this helps but youtube brought me here, I'd give more of an explanation /overview in voice to keep peoples attention more vs text o7
Bravo 🎉🎉 badass🎉 i wish i had more peoples like you around me! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Glad it helped
Hi again . I noticed when I flip the stick is not reverse how do i reverse the stick. Normally when invert the down stick heli will go up and the up stick heli will down
Hi have you ever Loose signals
Did you flip with gps on
Yes
This gyro makes my car wobble left and right after reaching 40kmh which is useless for a super quick 200kmh car. Any tips that actually work?
I would turn the sensitivity down and maybe try relocating where the sensor sets on your chassis. Try a left rear or right rear or left front or right front corner ... that should help you get rid of the wobble. Thanks for watching.
One of the most important things to do before you attempt a start up is to check the oil level. So many people will start an engine dry not realizing it was low. No good then, but good find for sure
I did that on the side of the road before I loaded it. Clean and still translucent as if it was changed yesterday. Gas was fine too .
@@myrclife nice to know, but if your going to provide an instructional video, share all info with the audience, they will be coming back for more
I plan on doing a few more things like this, not exactly an instructional video because I'm not telling step by step instructions the ENTIRE video about a specific make and model of mower but just general knowledge of how to fix any mower. (or whatever the item is that I'm doing the video about) I think these types of videos will do well.

What side guards did you use for that chassis?
Stock side guards but you have to modify the left side I think. It's been awhile since I've built one.
@@myrclife Ok thanks! One more question and I will quit bothering you. The shock tower braces, are they the same front and rear? Thank you very much for your responses.
I do believe front and rear have a different part number so there must be some differences. And you're not bothering me I tried to respond to all of my subscribers and watchers

Dang man! All the RC cars I had as a kid, I spent more time looking for batteries or charging the packs than actually getting to drive them around. None ever went that fast either.
Well I bring you one of new ones to drive one of these days. The batteries last so long that sometimes (when your alone) #nofriends.....you get bored driving them before the battery dies.
