Rear rotor won't turn - what to do
638133
I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor. Make sure there isn't any hair wrapped around the post. It's amazing what these things can pick up when flying! 2. Purchase a new rotor because yours might be bent, keeping it from rotating. This happened to us before. You couldn't see the bend but when we replaced it, voila! If you've had this helicopter for awhile, it's possible that it's on its last leg. We have had these for several years and one is finally not turning the back rotor and it can't be fixed. We've gotten our money's worth out of it. However, if it's brand new, return it. Hope this helps! I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor.

check the wire connections on the rear motor make sure both blue and red wires are firmly connected, then check other end of blue and red wire on the pcb under the canopy, be sure they are firmly connected, if any wires are loose solder them back on (be very careful) if they all are connected correctly then you need to replace the rear motor.

You will not be able to fix if the motor is locked . Did you put oil before attempting to turn the engine? You will have to contact the seller and hope he can help you replace the defective item. If he is unwilling to help ,you will have to open a case with Amazon and they will help you get your money back

Sounds like a misprint to me!! You should clean new rotors with some type of quick dry cleaner. Use MAF cleaner if that makes you more comfortable. A little pricey, but should work as well or better than Brake cleaner.

Ask Amazon if they'll take it back, but at this point probably not, they figure you've crashed it enough that you are the problem. I bought a second one without a control box, and installed a new rotor, this way you have one to look at that is fine. Now I have two. Fly one then the other, neither engine getting too hot. If you're going to get into this, you are not just the pilot but the ground crew too. Stuff happens...

First check and make sure the tail rotor blade is spinning, if not it may be stuck. Try moving it by hand. If it is moving then there are adjustment buttons on the controller. L and R. Check to see what direction the copter is spinning. You will need to push the L or R butyon until it adjusts properly. Hope this helps

If these helis just spin check the rotor blade for a hair line crack or bent, When they are bad they will just hover and spin around to the left like a top.So try using the replacement rotor blade and see if that fixes the problem. Also look for some hair around the rotor pin that comes off the heli that the blades goes on to - a twisted hair will make it spin around and around too.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

The long cord needs to be attached to one of your bar handles and then turn the nob toward you or away from you for slow to high speed. If you've done that, there's something wrong with the cord, make sure all pieces are attached properly. The black rotor part should be on the left side with bold attached on bottom of unit, just like the picture. Take proper care of that cord when storing the entire unit so you don't bend it. If you've looked at all attachments, you might have a bad connector cord. Hope that helps and that you get it up and running. Once it's running you'll enjoy riding your bike indoors! =)

When I had this problem it was a motor issue. All I could do was call for repair and replace motor. Good luck

Same here, less than a year and is rusting. Actualy, hasnt even seen a winter yet! Be nice to really find an American made rotor these days and one that doesn't rust.

There is the big plastic chain guard in the front of the motor. If that is in the wrong position, the chain won't turn. Either push it forward or pull it back.

I would take the rear to a LBS and make sure the freewheel/ hub will accept it first. you may end up needing a wheel.

after a couple crashes, stuff starts to get loose. First, try playing with the adjustable tension at the top that allows the blades to slightly sway / tighten loosen the screws to see if you can get it to be more balanced. If that doesn't work, Try tightening all the little screws on the body and if that doesn't help you probably need to replace that main rotor. It's being bent is also a poss cause of the wobbly flight.

It might be a front or rear rotor, depending on your vehicle. A better bet than guessing would be to use the part finder at Raybestos' website: http://www.raybestosbrakes.com/magnoliaPublic/home/catalog.html

Try going on MI Technologies web site. They may sell parts. I purchased this copter and the main transmission came apart. I fixed it but it happened again. Personally, I wouldn't waist money on repairs. All this copter is good for is parts. Good Luck.

Sorry, can't help ya. I got it as a back up. It's still in the box because my old one still works. You might be able to find an answer to your question in the question + answer section, at Amazon. This part is, usually, near the section with reviews. It can be very helpful.

Sounds like the gear to the top rotor blade is loose or is not making contact. You have to take it apart to fix.
