THE RACE BEGINS ...HOBBY KING SHIPPING (CHINA) Vs Amain Hobbies USA

[Westy]

From what I hear the yep is really good. I have one on the way to test.

had a look at my setup vids on the YEP yet?

 

[DAL2855]

No not yet but will for sure as I've never programmed a single esc yet.

HI Westy ; I buy from HeliDirect & I get Pluse Ultra batteries either 35c or 45c & they seem to be really good ! Only had 1 bad battery & they replaced it ! Good kuck with your new Goblin 630 it looks really NICE ! Hope you got all your things OK ! Hobby King is a real pain to deal with!

 

[Tony]

I would click on the live chat to change an order. Email or forum are a waste of time. Get someone on there that you can pester the crap out of.

 

[DAL2855]

Ok thanks Tony! Will try that!

 

[DAL2855]

Talking to them right now Tony trying to get it sorted out so they send me the YEP 100A ESC and programming card instead of the Turnigy DLUX and programming box!

 

[DAL2855]

Took them almost two hours but they finally got it straightened out Tony! One item had to be added to my US Warehouse order and the Programming card added to my International Warehouse order. The programming card wasn't in stock in the US Warehouse. And I didn't want to have to wait 2 or 3 weeks longer to get it, so had them ship it from the International Warehouse where it was in stock. But now I will be running the YEP 100A ESC instead of that Turnigy DLUX ESC!

 

[Tony]

Good deal. I as well had to order the card from the int warehouse. So I got a canopy as well hehe.

 

[DAL2855]

It ended up taking me almost 5 1/2 hours talking to 2 different reps to get the orders straightened out! But Hey I finally got them sorted out! One of my three orders is already showing a tracking number woohoo!

 

[DAL2855]

Westy, does that same video apply to programming and setup of the YEP 100A LV ESC?

 

[Westy]

yep (excuse the pun!)

 

[Tony]

Received my parts and they are already put on. Have already done my flight with the bird as well. Where is your flight video????

 

[Westy]

its here .... WESTY's GOBLIN 630 BUILD! -SUPER EXCITED! - Page 17

 

[Tony]

already watched and commented hehe

 

[DAL2855]

Westy, I'll probably be bugging you when my ESC and programming card finally arrives! So that maybe you can walk me through the initial setup step by step so I don't screw anything up!

 

[Westy]

hey ... we all screw it up.... I spent 4.5 hours trying to nut that Controller out! .... but it is locked in time with a video to remind me! they have reverse polarity protection.... but make sure you fit the cables as instructed ... Brown to the Right with the pins at the bottom.

Here they are.... http://www.rc-help.com/showthread.php/8918-VIDEO-STICKY-YEP-120-HV-Opto-Coupler-How-to-Video-Guides

For an update to this, read my latest post in the lounge sticky. OMG I'm pissed off.

 

[DAL2855]

Plugging the wires into the Programming card, yeah I can remember that part, but it's all the rest of it that I don't really understand what I'm doing! Or even why I'm doing it! That's why I need someone to walk me through step-by-step the first time so that I know how to do it the right way!

Oh, and I placed another order with HK last night, for some neon yellow main gears, tail fins and some blade bolts and it's already showing a tracking number! But neither of my two big orders have even printed yet! Man I hope they ship soon! I don't wanna have to wait long to get the bird!

This is the bird I ordered Tony:

[DAL2855]

Well someone stop me! I placed another HK order this morning! LOL! Some new tail fins and a 5 bladed main head!

 

[DAL2855]

Well, 4 of my 6 orders from HK are showing shipped! Then one showing printed and the other in Print Queue still! And what really sucks, is that the one still in print queue is the order with my HK550GT! I wish they would hurry up and get this one shipped! I really wanna get started on this build!
