    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    Gyro, Yes, thanks for the recommendation and forward shipping. It's a nice motor and excellent value, I plan on using a 15x7 Xoar with it. With the short stator design and 8mm shaft it should be totally nuke proof. So did you use any spacers when you installed it? I think it's a bit shorter...

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    It's a Headsup RC Firepower 46 sport (720kv) I've already CA'ed all the joints on the box, though they all looked to be well glued anyway.

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    I started to put my new Slick together today, time was limited so only a little progress. First step was to re drill the motor mount for the larger cross mount of my motor. I figured the neatest way was to remove the ply doubler rings and captive nuts and reposition on the new holes. If i...

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    It looks spectacular.. So with those LED strips placed just where you might put turbulator strips.. Did you notice any difference in flight?

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    yeah, I know.. trouble is they don't have the Slick yet (soon i guess) plus the biggest issue... I get hammered for import duty (20% plus handling charge) because ADC being a business mark the full value of the package which attracts the UK customs Gestapo:( Having said that it probably adds up...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Yeah, it must have had lots of 'go' with that set up. The 750kv motor is 'ok' but not startling on an APC 13x6.5 but it goes great on the Xoar 13x7, about 850w, tons of speed.

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    Yesterday I became the proud owner of a new red 51" AJ Slick, my first 3DHS model. 51" Slicks are rare beasts in the UK because they have never been officially imported but that very helpful Mr Gyro ordered this one for me and forwarded it on.. It's a well travelled model airplane! Hardware...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    I love my Laser too! it seems to have no weakness in it's flight envelope, it's just great at everything! It looks fantastic too. Mine is powered by a Motrolfly DM-2820-750kv spinning a Xoar 13x7, Gens Ace 2200mAh, 30c, 4s, Savox servos all round. Only thing to watch is the Laser will come out...

    Inside The 48" EXP Details

    It's worth pointing out that the Laser EXP which is the latest model in the 48" EXP line up differs in a few areas from the previous EXP's. Off the top of my head the differences from the features shown in this article are: Different motor box design, similar to the 60" models (no carbon...
