			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After an ugly crash with my <a title="T-rex 450" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Rex_(RC_helicopter)#T-Rex_450">T-rex 450</a> I managed to strip an Hitec 65MG (as in metal gear) for the first time. It was a new milestone for me. I was going to order a new set of gears from <a title="Elefun AS" href="http://www.elefun.no">Elefun</a>, but they were out of stock. I contacted them and was told the distributor was out of stock. It could take weeks before I could have the bird back in the air. Something I didn&#8217;t want to risk before the next <a href="http://site.sunnfjordrc.no/index.php?option=com_jcalpro&amp;Itemid=39&amp;extmode=view&amp;extid=4">indoor RC meeting</a>.</p>
<p>It all boils down to my order over the seas which just arrived. Let&#8217;s take a look, shall we?</p>
<p>The box should contain:</p>
<ul>
<li>2 x Deans Female Plug</li>
<li>1 x Futaba S9257 Servo EP Heli Digital Rudder (Gyro Servo)</li>
<li>2 x Hitec HS65 Metal Gear Servo HS65MG METAL GEAR SERVO</li>
<li>4 x Hitec HS65 Metal Gear Set &#8211; METAL GEAR SET</li>
<li>1 x Hitec Servo Gear Grease 3GR</li>
<li>2 x HMXE9711 Heli-Max Guide Pulley MX400/Trex 450</li>
<li>1 x Hobbico LCD Digital Mini Tachometer Mini Tach</li>
<li>3 x HS1159-01 315mm PRO Rotor Blades White/Red</li>
<li>1 x HS1237 Align 450 SE V2 Canopy</li>
<li>1 x Kong Power 2200mAh TX Pack for Spektrum, Futaba, JR</li>
<li>2 x Kong Power 3s1p 11.1v 2200mAh 25C Lipo Battery</li>
<li>1 x Kong Power 3s1p 11.1v 2200mAh 25C Lipo Battery</li>
<li>1 x Kong Power 6s Charger KP-100W6</li>
<li>2 x Kong Power Battery Bridge</li>
<li>1 x Mavrikk Drive Belt 397T (High Strength) Fits TREX 450 SE</li>
<li>1 x Series Deans 2 to 1 Adapter</li>
<li>2 x Spartan Adhesive Foam Gyro Tape Set</li>
<li>4 x TREX 450 V2 Head Dampener Upgrade &#8211; Red Dampers by Trueblood</li>
</ul>
<p>I had some minor problems with my new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Rex_(RC_helicopter)#T-Rex_450">T-rex 450 SE v2</a>, the belt kept jumping off. I solved it by removing the idle-pulley, but now have I bought a replacement for it which looks to do the job.</p>
<p>Three servos for my old t-rex 450, one tail servo and two for cyclic. Also added servo grease for the servo I will be changing gear on.</p>
<p>The transmitter (later refereed as TX) battery, 2200mAh 11.1v Kong Power battery. I&#8217;ve read about someone running theirs for 5 weeks without charging. I guess mine won&#8217;t last that long since I use my TX on the simulator as well.</p>
<p>Almost forgot to add the charger and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_polymer_battery">lipo</a>. This is the best charger I have ever used. I might do a review of it some day.</p>
