Red Octane Mod

My wiring job is novice at best. I did twist the wires in the end to help keep them from laying everywhere. I need some heat shrink tubing or some cable ties to pretty it up, but who cares the bottom is not see through.

Some more shots of the wiring.

Red Octane Mod from PS2 to XBOX 360

These are the tools I used for the job. Screw driver, soldering iron, small screw driver, scissors, helping hands, small piece of sponge, Gamestop Xbox 360 controller.

This is the inside of the Red Octane joy stick before the mod. The crafting is not that great (better than I could do, but not as good as what I have found on the internet) and the buttons were loose. The wires are a total mess and were not labeled at all. The common ground wires were soldered on the tabs instead of just wiring them with the clips. I did not touch the actual buttons or joy stick other than to make adjustments. Not sure if you can tell from the picture , but the joystick was mounted at an angle. Perhaps on purpose, but I moved is straight and screwed it back down.

The old PS2 PCB and the new controller. Let's git it!

I was going to take pictures at each phase, but I forgot. Theses are links I used to complete the mission:

This is my Blade 400 being flown by Joe at his house. It was a good day. I learned a lot about getting things set right like the pitch and throttle curves. After seeing my heli fly around with untracked blades and a different battery I was amazed. After the blades were tracking perfectly it flow really smooth.

These are the rest of the pictures.

Mostly Stock Blade CP (1 of 2)

These are images of my E-Flite Blade CP (Original). It has the aluminum bell mixer upgrade blade grip set. I am still unable to get it to fly. I am working on the setup. The head has a wobble to it. Also the battery I have used is a Stock 9.6v 650mAh Ni-MH. I have purchased a new Lipo battery which is a E-Flite 11.1v 800mAh. If anyone has any input please feel free to share.

Blade CP with esky parts

Photo 1. This is the entire auction I won. On the right you can see the after market tail motor with the white tail rotor. It spins up and seems to have some serious torque

Photo 2. This is the Telebee Gyro. Looked like it powers up and initializes correctly.

Photo 3. This is the esky recevier and E-flite 2 in 1 control uint. It looks like the 2 in 1 unit connector has a loose power connection, which make the heli glitch and put power to the motors without me commanding it.

Photo 4. This is just a side shot of it. The blades are on my other CP now though.

So just from looking at these pictures and reading my runryder post please give me any additional help you can. Thanks!
