11 years later they are still making an selling the same helicopter. I guess that means it's good, as they wouldn't still making it if it wasn't. I just bought the 107G, which has a gyro in it, I've learned since then that's another one with self take off and hold hover mode.
This is only the second and best mini helicopter I ever had! It's so easy to fly, and so stable! I love the metal chassis construction, and I wanted the yellow one, but they were sold out of that color, so I settled for red, my second favorite color!
I've also done this upgrade 350MAh on the new Syma S36, but I've soldered directly on the board, it's much simpler to do that on the S36 tough. What I've found is that if you keep the original battery position the helicopter keeps going forward no matter what you do, practically you loose the third channel. The solution to this is to mount the battery vertically (90 degrees relative to the body of the helicopter) so you keep all that extra mass closer to the center of gravity. I've also inversed the bottom skids so a little more weight is now distributed to the tail. I have a fully functional, stable S36 now that flyes for 14 minutes!
***** I haven't done anything special really, it just works, maybe your battery does't have the discharge needed to run the helicopter... mine is a Gens Ace 350mAh 3.7V 30C (burst 60C) 1S1P Lipo at 9.4g. If your battery has the capacity, but a lower discharge rate, maybe it can't provide enough power? Mine is hovering for 30s max if it's out of power!
Well It's probably common sense that the motors have to work harder to lift all that extra weight, but really I don't think that it wouldn't work at stock specifications... You know, a lot of batteries just don't work as specified on the label and you could just got a really bad one. Try to get a high 30C discharge high quality one, go for the 350Mah, it works very well! I'll post a video this week to show how it works. You could do a quick test, run the helicopter without the plastic conopy (cage, whatever) and see if it improves things a little... if it still doesn't work, it's a dud, as the plastic is pretty heavy (let's say you'll get close to stock weight)!
this is the best upgrade I have seen so far what they do not say what you gain in fly time you loss some of it in charge time .most of upgrades double the charge time so you got to wait longer.
I have a Yorkie and he LOVES to chase my heli's around the living room. He ignores it when it's 4 or 5 feet off the ground but when I fly it low to the ground he starts like barking at it and lunging towards it. If I fly it towards him it's astonishing how quickly he can maneuver to stay out of the heli's way. Great fun indeed... I'll have to try this mod. Oh... the cat... he doesn't like the chopper at ALL. ;-)
I did battery upgrade on my Syma S5H from 100 mAh to 250 mAh and it performs worse than on stock 100 mAh. Probably because this helicopter flies on narrow voltage range something between 3.9V and 4.2V. Larger capacity doesn't increase voltage drop time from 4.2V to below 4V but it introduces few extra grams so overall helicopter flies shorter and charges longer.
great vid, just a piece of advice though, soldering the connector directly to the battery can be risky, many contain thin plastic membranes inside, it's much easier to just cut the wire about an inch up and solder wire to wire with a couple little pieces of heat-shrink and voila! no risk of battery fires lol
Really nice vid, just bought two of these for my boys and I want to show them how to solder so this is a perfect vid for them to watch and then do it with me. :)
You did good job at changing and restoring this one...pls practice landing it too ..because smaller models are twitchy and fast...you have to be more precise cz u crashed twice
First I removed as much weight as possible (canopy weight and LED, boom support and shaved 1/8" off each end of the balance bar. Then I hot glued another battery to the underside at the CG and wired it across the stock one. Flight time is doubled while charge time is the same
It is not right to wire them in parallel.....after all the batteries cannot be identical and the stronger or higher voltage battery will discharge into the other. However notwithstanding this, practically I suppose it is OK just to connect them in parallel just before flying.
@@RajendraVermaa even if they discharge into the other, eventually they will increase the day time. Or do you disagree? Again if you are charging both in parallel then they will both be dukky charged and will not discharge into then other. What do you say? I think parallel battery at CG is great idea
Your Pup is adorable I have 4 Syma 107G's awesome heli's for inside. Outside flights nearly impossible due to the infrared TX and RX but great for rainy dys:
I have upgraded my battery to 240mah but when I try try to charge it the light on the charger turns red to say it's charged after it has only been charging for a couple of seconds and it doesn't charge, anyway I can fix it?
The battery doesn't throw the balance of the helicopter off? I'd think that with an extra quarter inch or so on the battery with the added weight and slightly longer dimensions it would mess with the balance. Although I kind of doubt the center of gravity is not exactly center out of the box.
It does, quite easily. I've been looking at mods for this, as I just got one, and doing things a simple as removing the tail fin or struts that help secure the tail put it off a noticeable amount. The best mod I have found (thought of it myself then found other people had done it when I looked on here) would be removing the flashing led from the front. It wouldn't effect the weight much, as leds don't weigh much at all, but would give at about 30sec extra flight time.
It appears that the larger/longer battery did not effect the CG at all? Nice work - don't know IF I can get my little fat fingers in there like you did!
The problem is that you bought a battery without a overcharge/overdischarge protection circuit, which would be okay if you used the one on your old battery, but you didn't! Try not to leave your syma charging for a longer time, or your battery might blow.
Great video, I would have liked a little less music and a little louder talking. Why not just put a connector on the helo side and be done with it, making battery changeouts a little leasier? Just got this guy, two flights and I am pretty happy with it.
you need to relocate the battery , dont add even more weights. get longer whires and place it below with these both-sides sticky foamy tapes When you do such upgrades changing the weights u need to ballance it 1st, with your finger exactly below the main rotor try to keep the heli ballanced relocating the battery which weights more than the whole heli without it. Its a must.
I really like this video. :) The music was nice. I don't know why everyone is complaining. You don't have to hear him speaking... just watch. And for the boy who commented about how one should not post videos if you're not good at it... that was extremely rude. He was simply showing TH-cam how HE did it HIS way. :) Thank you, cheers.
a little tip my s107g seem like it was losing a bit of lift first I thought it was the battery but I have the s111g and its lighter but I realised when I landed the s111g there was more after spin on the propellers and shaft and gears as the s107g is open to the elements of dust and what ever I used a vacume then sprayed a light bit of wd 40 spray oil been careful of the electrics a mere haze of the lubricant and it was like new.Also look out for hair getting caught in propeller shaft
Upload it! I destroyed mine by doing the battery upgrade, I still am not sure whats wrong with it, I'm pretty certain I fried one of the main motors. I've got 4 s107g's, going to take one into a cave tomorrow for the heck of it. =)
Looks like it drifts forward now when you hover, or does it? do you need to counter balance the tail with extra weight because of the extra weight of the nose? Let me know how it hovers.
I charged brand new one more than 1 hour, as I was not aware about the charging time. Battery heated up and helicopter plastic enclosure melted. Not sure how I can get this battery in India. Should try my luck with Amazon Is is possible the board items also get damaged with thr charging. I charged it while keeping the helicopter switch OFF
What MAH was the new battery ? Did you notice that u need more throttle to lift it due do weight difference? I was quite sure the heli will tend to go forward due to this change but as i see, i think it doesnt
he didn't disconnect the pcb, he left that and de-soldered the battery, how else do you expect to change the battery (which syma sell) when it eventually dies (which all rechargeable batteries do)?
why not just cut the old battery off and just splice the wires to new battery wires? trim the wire as needed to keep orig length or wrap around new battery
Hello good day , I used the first time the chopper , put the batteries in control , I carried it in usb TV and direct the outlet, and turned everything worked perfectly , quiet flew for about 20 minutes playing , only the other day he did not get more , the control light is red in color and even with new batteries , and charging for more than four hours , when I try to activate the throttle , the propeller rotates but has no strength to climb , it would be a defect in the helicopter ??
Check if your rotoraxles are fit tightly in the pignons. If the axles are slipping in the pignons, your chopper's rotors won't spin fast enough. Specifically check the top rotor. Just put a tiny drop of superglue on the pignon to lock it on the axle. if you don't fix slip, it'll only get worse. Tip: go to some cheap Chinese site and buy a lot of spare parts (blades, pignons, axles, couplings), cause they break pretty easily. They only cost a few bucks a set.
I put a new 240 mah battery. i cut the wires a little and taped the battery wires but still there is very little power in the heli and it charges in just 10 mins !....plz help
Instead of cutting into the insulation on the battery, you would be better off cutting and splicing the wires. If you use shrink tube, it makes for a much more professional looking modification, and the old battery will still have lead-wires attached.

Hey where did you buy the battery from?
For the s36
Olimpiu-Cristian Mihai Why 30C? Doesn't higher C-rate mean quicker discharge?
this is the best upgrade I have seen so far what they do not say what you gain in fly time you loss some of it in charge time .most of upgrades double the charge time so you got to wait longer.
This is a brilliant video. Very informative with hypno music but that beautiful little puppy stole the show.

Nice matching the tool to the color of your syma
Nice pet mate,take care of him,they gave some thing that never human will give..LOVE TRUE LOVE!!

Thanks! I actually enjoyed the music. It made the video relaxing to watch!
We just saw it flying. The battery is only a tiny bit larger in size and weight and shouldn't be an issue.
That puppy is adorable.
Great Vid/Mod & adorable doggy too👍🚁
great vid, just a piece of advice though, soldering the connector directly to the battery can be risky, many contain thin plastic membranes inside, it's much easier to just cut the wire about an inch up and solder wire to wire with a couple little pieces of heat-shrink and voila! no risk of battery fires lol
Your dog is so cute. I love your dog.
love it brother, this video is just what I was looking for. I'm ordering a new battery tonight & will see how it works on mine.
Name exactly of the battery.. More energy charge..
I got an interstate battery from costco.
@@biggiesmalll and did it work for you? More charge?
I order one 3.7 volts 240mha in eBay ..$9.99
You have a adorable handsome dog
Thanks , man. I did everything like you! Greetings from Serbia, Europe!
Really nice vid, just bought two of these for my boys and I want to show them how to solder so this is a perfect vid for them to watch and then do it with me. :)
good replacement tutorial since my helicopters battery had died completely and was inflated
You did good job at changing and restoring this one...pls practice landing it too ..because smaller models are twitchy and fast...you have to be more precise cz u crashed twice
Nice battery upgrade. However with the larger battery the flight is looks unstable a bit.
can you link to the battery you bought please? (add it to your description) btw BEST DOG EVA!!! :D
Lovely video and lovely dog :)
great vid and good song choice
Nice vid. I will probably just do an inline solder and use heat shrink tube, rather than de-solder the terms on the new battery though.
Your dog is so cute!

Hi Pleasecho2 - did you re-wire the battery in parallel or in series?
parallel
pleasecho2 Thanks for the quick response man! Just a bit fearful for incomplete charging, overcharging, unequal charging etc..
It is not right to wire them in parallel.....after all the batteries cannot be identical and the stronger or higher voltage battery will discharge into the other. However notwithstanding this, practically I suppose it is OK just to connect them in parallel just before flying.

hey that is little bit funny:)) that your pet was shouting when the helicopter's head fan was snipping!?
Your Pup is adorable I have 4 Syma 107G's awesome heli's for inside. Outside flights nearly impossible due to the infrared TX and RX but great for rainy dys:
Nice dog house!
i did the same,loose the lights for longer power. It helped
Sportman-un how much u get from taking lights down?
Cute dog
nice video, liked :D btw i like your dog :)
Still fly your S107 ?, I just got myself a S108 - great it is.
Useful video this in case I have the need to replace my battery at a later date.

Try not to leave your syma charging for a longer time, or your battery might blow.
Great video, I would have liked a little less music and a little louder talking.
Why not just put a connector on the helo side and be done with it, making battery changeouts a little leasier?
Just got this guy, two flights and I am pretty happy with it.
Nice Vid! get mine tomorrow. love te dog also and his house haha
One question!! I Have a battery
-TÚ 752035 3.7V 400mAh +200328. Can I use this for replacement? Please answer me. Thanks!
Great video! I will soon be replacing my battery. Thanks for the advice.
What is the name of the background music?
you need to relocate the battery , dont add even more weights.
get longer whires and place it below with these both-sides sticky foamy tapes
When you do such upgrades changing the weights u need to ballance it 1st,
with your finger exactly below the main rotor try to keep the heli ballanced relocating the battery which weights more than the whole heli without it. Its a must.
the soldering on the s107g board is very fragile and will snap off with slight tugging. I hot glued mine in place after learning the hard way.
I really like this video. :) The music was nice. I don't know why everyone is complaining. You don't have to hear him speaking... just watch. And for the boy who commented about how one should not post videos if you're not good at it... that was extremely rude. He was simply showing TH-cam how HE did it HIS way. :) Thank you, cheers.
ooh.....your dog is so cute
thank YOU
great video brother, can I ask you what is the reference of the engine gears?
a little tip my s107g seem like it was losing a bit of lift first I thought it was the battery but I have the s111g and its lighter but I realised when I landed the s111g there was more after spin on the propellers and shaft and gears as the s107g is open to the elements of dust and what ever I used a vacume then sprayed a light bit of wd 40 spray oil been careful of the electrics a mere haze of the lubricant and it was like new.Also look out for hair getting caught in propeller shaft
great video! I like your dog :)
is that model crashproof or atleast durable enough to takw crashes on objects?
Nice music and Cute Puppy....
whats the model or name of the new batery?
how much longer flying time do you get from this battery..? nice dog by the way:)
Does she feel heavier due to the new battery?
Upload it! I destroyed mine by doing the battery upgrade, I still am not sure whats wrong with it, I'm pretty certain I fried one of the main motors. I've got 4 s107g's, going to take one into a cave tomorrow for the heck of it. =)
cute dog. I love it
cute dog
where I can buy a good battery, please give me the link. thanks
I did a battery mod that runs 200mah 1s lipos and they can be in changed when one runs out.
Obviously longer life, but what is the time difference?
Looks like it drifts forward now when you hover, or does it? do you need to counter balance the tail with extra weight because of the extra weight of the nose? Let me know how it hovers.
That looked like it was too heavy too fly. Was it!
This syma s107 looks like my huge UJ376 this just looks like a smaller variant
Love the doggy, Best part of the video goes to the dog...
I charged brand new one more than 1 hour, as I was not aware about the charging time. Battery heated up and helicopter plastic enclosure melted.

Wow Your Dog Is Playing With your Helicopter, Please Upload Your Fun With Dog Big Video
puppy is so cute
btw if you guys dont have solder you can also use hot glue but only for a short period of time so be careful
Its takes little pressure but I fitted 300 man batter with front shroud
What is the name of Battery?
Really nice 👍
does the bigger battery make make the heli heavier and also how much longer fly time do you get ?
Cheers
What about the distribution of the weight? With a large battery, it is not th same, and it could be hard to drive
Name of this battery ? For search in eBay to buy please? Someone know?
What the thing he use to remove the wire of the battery?
why not just cut the old battery off and just splice the wires to new battery wires? trim the wire as needed to keep orig length or wrap around new battery
Was thinking something similar. I would rather splice wires or solder to the pcb than the foil wrapped battery.
K.I.S.S.
not as durable and more difficult
Extra weight affect flight at all? Is there extra weight with that battery?
Did the larger battery change the flight pattern at all?
Where you in a tight room? i ask cause it looks like the battery weighed down the helicopter alot
i thought dude was gonna Cut his damn finger open!!! But nice video!! I just got My Syma 107g And S032g Waiting on batteries now thanks for video!
your dog is cute
Which is the Upgraded Fly Time
the dog is so cute
What is the new battery called

what name of battery?
I put a new 240 mah battery. i cut the wires a little and taped the battery wires but still there is very little power in the heli and it charges in just 10 mins !....plz help
I also did this, but new the battery weights more, so my syma didn't get much more flight time.
apparently the puppy was bored with your little mod there, she went right off to sleep.
Hello, How much time did you gain with this mod? Thanks
What kind of battery should I look for?
Instead of cutting into the insulation on the battery, you would be better off cutting and splicing the wires. If you use shrink tube, it makes for a much more professional looking modification, and the old battery will still have lead-wires attached.
friend that it is the battery?
is the battery you changed is 500 mah?
I mounted 2 under the body between the landing gear and it still takes off and i get about 22 min out of it. and it does not make it front heavy.
i think the old battery had a chip to prevent over charging and now the battery is at risk of explodng..
