I see that the RotorScale 450 helis are back in stock and they now ship with a MicroBeast-Plus FBL and now have: "upgraded internals". I have three questions:
1. What are the "upgraded internals"?
2. Can I order it without the uBeast FBL?
3. I have 5 of the older/original models - am I now out of luck with regards to spare parts?

Difficult/awkward answers I can handle - but silence? Not so much!

1) Upgraded internals - The new internals are backward compatible with the old ones. They are made with more consistency with better tolerance from a better supplier with better knowledge of metallurgy. They are now made by the same manufacturer who makes the mechanics for the 600 ARF bundles we were selling (we will setup that bundle again).
2) Currently, they are only available with a microbeast pre-installed. That said, we're checking our inventory and it appears the manufacturer may have forgotten to install some of the microbeasts. Give us a couple days to check more inventory. You may b e able to buy it without a microbeast even though that was not the original plan.
3) You are not out of luck at all with regards to spare parts. All are backward compatible.

As luck would have it, or not, the factory forgot to install the MicroBeast Plus into our entire order. They are still sitting at the factory. Therefore, they will all be available without a microbeast Plus. For anyone who already purchased a RotorScale 450 and thought they were receiving a MicroBeast with it, we're sending one out to all of you. We lowered the price on our website to reflect the fact the MicroBeast Plus is not included.

Yes, they are for sale separately. MicroBeast Plus link: https://www.motionrc.com/products/be...barless-system\
Ed will make some posts showing the setup. It works extremely well in this heli and the MicroBeast Plus is very simple to setup (which I know many of you have been requesting). It is a little more pricey but worth it if you are looking for ease of use.

I am working on a setup guide for the microbeast over here: https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/el...uey#post237068. Still a work in progress, but I’ll be adding more throughout the week.

Love the microbeast plus. Couple things I’ve added to my setup sequence.
1 use a separate BEC for receiver binding / setup and ESC calibration. I use a spare ESC for this. Power up the MBP and receiver. I use Sbus so I let it auto discover. Then after bound and channels are set. I go full throttle and power up the heli ESC to calibrate it. Must make sure you pull the red pin temporarily out of heli ESC during this part of the setup.
after calibration I power down all power and hook the ESC red wire back up. Now I finish the setup using heli esc bec.
the other step I’ve added is when I get to item “I” “swashplate servo direction” before I move to next step I use a pitch gage and adjust me blade grip ball linkages. I move first blade to front of heli in parallel with boom. Set pitch to 0deg using throttle stick. Then I rotate blades so the next blade is now in the front parallel potion and check with pitch gage. Is pitch is not 0deg I adjust the linkage. If two blades done. If multiple blade continue until all blades are adjusted and close to 0degs.
Just my $0.02
