I need a new Rc reciver.

Can you buy replacement recivers for this model because I got a simmalar reciver and broke it?
It was from a rc plane.
Where did you buy this helicopter?
Is their a online store?

Sorry for clogging up comments but I am desprate to get my reciver fixed.

What's the use of using a R/C ;? A switch was to fancy i guess :P

Your gear looks like it is made of brass. With reference to e.g. this instructable:

-could you adapt the cutting part?

How to turn a $200 toy into a $20 tool ? Ouch!

[joemonkey]

actually, i used a 30$ peice of crap-quality-crap, and the whole rear rotor system was shatered. =P

[westfw]

That's better then; turning a broken toy into ... anything is better than just throwing it out.

[joemonkey]

LOL

Take a video, then go to YouTube, upload it there, and use the code that they give you to put it up. Won't this wear out the gear? I was thinking about doing this as a head for my homemade Dremel, but it seems it would wear out. The train that I made it from had a gear on it to drive the wheels.

[joemonkey]

i forgot to mention to use a motop with a hard steel gear.

[joemonkey]

if anyone will tell me how i will put a video of me usnig it! thnx!!
