Remote control helicopter tool sets ratchet up performance not price
Upgrading a remote control helicopter can be a cost-savings for pilots who seek greater performance from their current models, without purchasing a new model. Popular upgrade options include changing plastic RC helo parts to metal by purchasing metal parts or replacing a brush motor with a brushless motor and ESC.
Some mechanical skill is needed; owners find helpful specially designed tool kits like the RC Helicopter Tools Portable Kit or the RC Hobby Tools Set, which contains 10 pieces:
• tip nose pliers
• a cut silk clamp
• a ball head clamp
• a 5.5mm long-handle socket
• a 4.5mm long-handle socket
• a long-handle Phillip’s screwdriver
• a long handle A screwdriver
• a 0.9mm long-handle hexagon socket screwdriver
• a 1.5mm long-handle hexagon socket screwdriver
• and a 2.0mm long handle hexagon socket screwdriver.
A relatively inexpensive project, ranging from US$10-$100, a pilot can upgrade an existing RC helicopter for more power and playability. For the RC helicopter guru, refurbishing a current model at low cost can be a fun mechanical project that ramps up the flying possibilities.
