Hubsan x4

[Stu Dixon]

Hi guys,

Santa got me a little Hubsan x4, had a little go in the living room and the battery life is not great (not basing this off experience as never had a quad copter before) I just wanted to know if there is an alternative lipo I could buy and also would I charge it via the USB cable like the stock lipo ?
Cheers

I bought 6 of these:

They've been very good. I'd imagine you can charge them on your USB charger. I'm not sure what rate it charges them but they're only 20Mah more than the supplied lipo. I always charge mine on my main buggy lipo charger.

I bought 3 of these off eBay and charge them on my core-rc charger.
Give you a little longer flight time

Cool, thanks for the link, will order some of them up

What settings do you charge on via core charger longman?

Lipo charge 0.2 is what I charge them on, battery connectors are the same as
Losi micro t, if you need to make a loom up. And I think you have to swap the pos and neg over on the connector.

as regards the Husban X4, does anyone on here repair and setup them up?

I've had the series 1 model flew rather well till friend had his hands on it hit the wall cracked the casing. So I've replaced the parts and soldered the motors back but can i hell as like get it to fly now.
I've searched all web cant seem to find the issue's I'm having.
Basically all props are spins but it wont take off all it does is wants to spin in circles?? When I hand it in my hands move it sideways feel all the motors trying to balance it out etc.
So now I'm at a complete loss, not sure to just buy a new one or get this sorted out.

I was wondering anyone on here got good experience with these at all?
