What's In The Box??? In this video I show you exactly what is in the box. Spoiler alert, it's one of the fastest quads you can purchase PNP!!!
This video has been a long time coming but with the wind up today and not being able to fly, I figured I would get this video out there. Making servo extensions is an investment in the hobby thanks to the crimper and the bulk wire you need, but in my opinion, it is well worth is. How many times...
A $60 "Super Combo" 450 helicopter? Is it worth actually purchasing? That is what this series is all about. This was the absolute cheapest helicopter kit that I would find. In this series, I will go through what this helicopter needs to get in the air and most importantly, make it SAFE...
When I was first approached about this quad, I initially turned it down, but then something hit me that I thought might be good for some people with this quad and because of that, I decided to go ahead and allow them to send it to me and make this video.
This is the Eachine E56 Pocket Quad...
For four years, I have been using a Dynamite Ultra Duo battery charger to keep my machines flying. The Dynamite charger has been a wonderful piece of equipment, but it recently gave up and needed to be replaced.
Instead of buying another Ultra Duo, I decided to get with the program, and build a...
This little action camera from ODRVM is not bad for the price. 1080 videos at 30 frames per second with the option of 720 at 60 frames. The menu system is very familiar since it is using the SJ7000 camera firmware. But whatever you do, do NOT try to update this camera. You will brick it.

Installing a canopy is simple, right? WRONG! Not when you move up to a Goblin. The canopy shipps with a 2mm hole already drilled into the canopy. It is up to YOU to ream that hole out to fit the 10mm (1CM for those in america lol) so that you can fit the grommets in it. Yea, I will not be doing...
It's time to add some color to this SAB Goblin 380 Helicopter! We are going to put the tail onto the frame, but not before we install the tail block onto the tail boom. I also show you how to easily install the backing blocks and get the holes lined up so you are not banging your head against...
The tail is one of the key features of the SAB Goblin Helicopter. No torque tubes here, we are running a belt on this little guy. And here is where I encounter my first issue with this kit!
In this video, I show you exactly how to assemble the rear tail block including putting together the tail...
After almost a year of planning my solar rig is built and functional. Lets start at the begining with the planning,. I originally started off with a deep cycle battery from Home Depot for boats. After further research what I needed was a golf cart battery. That set me back about $75 USD but...
The head on the Goblin 380 does come preassembled, but you MUST take it apart, clean all of the oil off of it and thread lock everything in place. If you are running high head speed or flying 3D, you will want to put the shims in the head which are NOT installed but are included.
In this...
The frame of the Goblin 380 has to be one of the most simple designs I have ever put together. Pair that with the simplicity of putting the mainshaft together and the gears, and this is one of the easiest helicopters to build!
In this video, we put the frame together to the lower plate, install...
It Has Begun!!!
The build of the Goblin 380 has begun. For those that do not know, this helicopter was donated to Rc-Help by Syndicate on YouTube. I have tried to get him to sign up on here, but at this time, he has not done so yet. I'm still trying lol.
This helicopter is being built by the...
Setting up a transmitter to it is ready for the Ikon 2 is quite easy. It sounds complicated, but once you do it a couple times it becomes second nature.
In this video, I walk you through, step by step, in how to setup the Spektrum DX9 Transmitter so it is ready to bind to the new Ikon 2!
Now...
In this video I show you how to install and wire the Align 450 to the Ikon 2 Gyro. The helicopter I'm using in this video is the Align 450 Pro V2 With The Align 450L Dominator Frame so I can put the gyro inside the frame. Everything about this helicopter is stock Align Pro V2 including all of...
Installing the Ikon Configurator may seem simple to some, but for those that have little to no experience with computers they may not know how, and that is what this series is going to cover.
We are starting a brand new series that is called RCH Back To Basics (#RCHBackToBasics) to get back...
Everyone that has been in this hobby for a while already knows the benefits of having a simulator. But for those that are new to the hobby, justifying spending $150+ on what some consider a game is quite hard to do. Well I'm here to tell you, that $150 investment will pay for itself, very...

Key Features
Wirelessly connects a DSM2/DSMX Spektrum Transmitter to your PC or Mobile Device as a USB Gamepad
Integrated bind button
No additional drivers or additional...

Too Much Loctite?
We have all done it from time-to-time. Put too much thread locker on a screw during a build, or repair. Helicopter, car/truck, boat...it`s a real pain to remove a screw that has been overly thread locked.
You either wind up stripping the head or breaking the screw off in the...
