- In this video we rebuild a SAB Goblin fireball! Huge huge thank you to Damian for giving me this model! Unfortunately we had a crash on the test flight and rebuilt again! But back and going like new! Maiden flight soon!
Have questions? Want to send anything to the channel? Send me a email!

I know this is an older video and please excuse the basic noob question, but can you use just the SRXL2 as the only receiver? And will it only work with Spektrum transmitters? Thanks for all of your videos! I think I've earned more from you than even the forums. Hopefully one day I can repay you. 🙂 Mike
Hi Jeff, just got a used one of these with vbar neo in, do you know if I can get telemetry on rpm and mah used etc on this?
It has the 60a esc in so I’m guessing not?
Thanks 😎👍
this little heli is a beast. it scares me alot with how fast it is, and congrats on getting it this heli is very capable and cheap to fix
It is definitely a beast of a little helicopter! I’ve only got two flights on it and not even real flights but it is definitely an awesome machine so far!
wow youve really come up on your heli collection much props. you should do a 2nd video on your heli collection..
I have so many!! Lol I will definitely do a anther video!
Hi guys, I have problems with telemetry to get displayed. Stock esc 60a from sab without any HobbyWing firmware update. Flybarless system Spirit Micro and Spektrum SRXL2 satellite. Any workarround to make it work?
Best regards!
Great video! So glad you show the real life problems and accidents. I watched your raw build and ordered one I will be watching that video a few more times to Assemble mine. Thanks for the videos they are so helpful.
You’ve got to show the real time accidents and crashes LOL and problems! Nobody is perfect including myself! We all make mistakes and screw up especially when flying helicopters! But the best part is they can always be rebuilt! You’re welcome, you will really enjoy that helicopter. Which one did you go with? 420 or 580?
So if I want to switch boom and canopy to a havok edition I need that special tail mount?
So actually no, that peace does come with the boom when buying it new. I got that red boom/canopy with the heli and the tail mount was not included but when buying it new in the box it is included.
Congrats, thank you for the vid. I have a problem with my havok fireball and ikon2, i can‘t set a equal left and right cyclic pitch. Do you have also that problem?
Thank you! No I never set both ways, I only said one way because mainly it’s just for binding. So as long as it doesn’t bind one way it will not bind the other way. You don’t need to worry about it being set equal.
Thank you for your quick answer, you help me a lot.
@@danielschibig8014 you’re welcome! As long as you are getting equal positive and negative pitch don’t worry about left and right, just go one way and said it so there is no binding and then double check after.
Very nice it's the same size as the blade 230?
Thank you! It’s slightly bigger. The fireball runs a 280mm blade, it’s a 6s heli and has tons of power! Crazy little thing!
Hey there. Just a few comments. Although the wiring looks fantastic, I am usually against shortening wires because it voids any warranty and removes the flexibility of changing the servos to another model and reduces your potential market in case you want to sell them. Second, the HW60A v4 (as all V4 HW ESC's) does support telemetry. HOWEVER, the 60A v4 is the only one in the line that does not have a sensor that others have, so it cannot give you MAh consumed. It will be able to give you RPM and BEC voltage but cannot give you flight pack capacity. The smallest v4 ESC that can do that is the 80A which is absolutely overkill for this heli. I am personally partial to HW but the YGE 65 does have full telemetry as I understand it. Third, did you update the firmware on your 4651T? I think that's the receiver you have. It is famous for browning out without warning or any other discernable cause. The fix is to upgrade the firmware on it to make it more robust. Trust me, it crashed my 570 on a hurricane which I was not happy about. Thankfully I am not that good a pilot and I was not screaming on the hurricane so the damage was not catastrophic but still I was not a happy camper. Looking forward to your flight video of the little guy. Cheers!
I shorten wires on every model because I can’t stand the wire mess that you get lol I personally don’t care about avoiding a warranty or reselling the service. If I have a problem with a Servo I’ll just replace it that’s the risk I take when I cut and shorten wires. If I ever switch servers to a new model which I never do I always build a new model with all new electronics but I will take the servo apart and add a new wire and good to go. Yes the Hobbywing 60 amp does not give you MAH but I don’t care for MAH I just want the battery voltage which it will give you. I have a lady sitting here I’m gonna take it out of the case and heat shrink it and it should fit. But if not the HW60 out of the case will. I’ve got multiple models with this SRXL2 and zero issue, I looked at my frame loss and hold after every flight and nothing. Never had a single issue with it. I’ve heard of a couple other people say something about that but personally as well as multiple others I know that run the same SRXL2 never have problems. A lot of the time a RX brown out or signal loss will always be an ESC shut down or voltage sag instead of actual RX loss. If your ESC voltage drops for whatever reason past 6 V BEC will shut it down which entails cut power to the RX. Especially in the airplane world 99.9% of the time anybody that says they had a RX brown out for signal loss they didn’t. They had a BEC shut down which is one reason I really don’t like PEC on anything bigger than a 500 size model. But how are you updating? Out of curiosity.
Hello ... Javier, meet Jeff. Jeff meet Javier. 2 very good friends of mine being introduced. I have the HW 80A ESC on my Goblin 380 KSE and I installed that for exactly the reason you said Javier. Not that I'm going to overload a HW 60A anytime soon. lol. Both of You and your Families, stay safe in the crazy weather we are all getting now, some of us worse than others and my very Best to You, your Wife and your 2 young men Javier and my Best to You, your Wife and your little Angel Jeff!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Well it's one of those things and you don't care about until it happens. It's one of the reasons I don't fly Spektrum anymore. Even Horizon Hobby acknowledged the issue and hence the firmware upgrade. Let me tell you another story. I was at my local field fun fly and one of the pilots was re-maidening his heli. I noticed he had the SRXL2 Spektrum receiver and told him the same thing. He dismissed it and the heli crashed because it lost signal, so sadly my warning became a reality. I moved on from Spektrum but you have to get a special cable from Horizon Hobby SPMA3066 and download the software. I think you will also need the USB interface SPMA3065. There is a RUclips video by Horizon Hobby called "How to update Spektrum receivers" that describes the process. I didn't go through it, I think at Helifreak there is also information how to do it. Again, I bailed out as I need to be able to rely on my equipment (it's not the only incident I had) so I never tried that.
@@larrychamel thank you for the nice words and wishes as always my friend. Take care and many blessings!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I just found the correct video here it is ruclips.net/video/HfeIwAhaSb8/видео.html
I was just working on my 280 and exploded a tail grip bearing man that tail grip setup is tight
If it’s a metal grip the bearing are held in with retaining compound. Use a little bit of heat and the bearing will pop right out.
Hello could you make a video of setting up the fireball please (pitch, cyclic leveling, ...)?
first as always :)
Yes you are! Great job!
A gift wow I would love to get a gift like that off someone so lucky like not that u need it u have so many as it is y don't u give me it as a birthday present
I don’t ever give away helis or stuff that is sent me. Just because this was sent to me don’t mean it was not earned lol that’s how RUclips works. I spend all my time making videos and don’t make anything off this. So yes stuff is sent to me as appreciation for the videos that you guys don’t have to pay for or the knowledge that you get for absolute free.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 u don't pay anything for making videos
@@kevingoldbey7401 If you got paid everyone would be making vids. Its hard work.When you get to 250k subs you will make money,its then a full time job,again not easy.
@@garymurphy5133 not saying anything bad I love ur videos man and I'm saying in a way fair play to u making them for us cause the way u build the helis is so easy and straight forward I thank u for this cause it's a big help to me to watch ur footsteps off building a heli Ii watch ur videos when I build my raw and it went so perfect and easy so keep it up I appreciate what u do
