So I bought myself an rc helicopter for christmas, $90 at Kmart
Im not too fond of electric rc copters but this one is boasted as being unbreakable so figured it was worthwhile
on the 8th or 9th flight it lost the counter shaft gear, I took her apart and the teeth on the plastic gear are completely sheered off
no biggie I figured Id look for a metal replacement, well that has been nill, this appears to be a very common problem and in my search for replacement parts I found several others out there with the same exact problem
Also, most notably, I found my same copter on a website for $15 !!!
Yes, $75 cheaper!
So im about to reassemble it and return it, hopefully Kmart doesnt put up much fuss. World Tech toys customer service is non existant from what ive gathered by other reviews.
If for some reason they wont accept it, Ive considered cutting some aluminum gears on the cnc.
Ill let everyone know how it goes
you can see in my mobile cam pic there is not a single tooth left on the gear, absolute garbage
