Hirobo Shuttle Plus

knowall123

Hello all

I have a Shuttle plus from about 8 years ago i took out of the attic over the weekend. I never really learned to fly it, just learned how to crash it! I was very young at the time.
I priced up the parts needed to repair from rc japan at the weekend comes to around 90 euro possibly customs charge too.
Is it worth spending this much money or is it way to old? Maybe i could use the controls / servos etc for something better.

Any advise would be great

thanks

You could buy a new quadcopter with 90 euro, complete with a mini camera here in Ireland.
If it were me, the repair of your shuttle would not be viable.

I just bought a hubson x4 which has got me interested again.
Yep thats what i was hoping not to hear, that it wouldn't be worth repairing. i do think i payed close to 1000 euro or pounds at the time

Thanks

You might want to check the engine as well - more than likely the bearings will be shot and need replacing..

Thanks, I opened the bottom of the engine and all looked very clean. I ran it too and it sounds good. Still just pondering on whether or not to put 100 euro into it

I would repair it. It's worth nothing to you lying there.

Alternatively, could you sell it for parts on eBay?

Regard engine bearings... just make sure both (front and back plate) run smooth. Also - try eBay for repair parts - it may bring down the cost a little
