The zip tie in this video IS designed as a re-usable cable tie, non re-usable ties don't have the tab you are pushing your nail against to release it.

+Suzanne MacKeith it's the regular zip tie... google 'reusable zip tie' and see the pictures. there are a few designs. the one shows is just the common zip tie.

It usually increases stability. Make sure it's level with a leveler app, and also that the trim is flat. If you're using Drone Control try stability mode. Bearings, lube, and removing the hull sticker will make a difference too. In episode 11 you can see the drone has no trouble flipping and manuevering with the 3 zip mod, but if there's some other issue (spin each prop with your finger to see if one gives extra resistance, then investigate that entire foot) the extra weight could exacerbate it.

ARDroneShow.com commented on 30 Jun 2013

Owen, UF gears are nice to have, they're not a requirement though. For folks who don't want to spend more than they have to, I recommend getting 8 stock gears in my store for $16. If you're trying to boost performance wherever you can, UF gears are great. Lighter weight, stronger, and since they're part of the mechanics that must be rotated by the motor at high speeds, the lighter weight make it easier to spin so it will add a little bit of battery life, similar to upgrade bearings

ARDroneShow.com commented on 30 Jun 2013

Owen, well it depends if you want one zip a leg or three. It's a little extra weight, but it will offer A LOT more crash protection (see episode 19 for 150 ft crash). And especially if you remove the outdoor hull plastic cover, that will just about bring you back to stock weight. And the new weight distribution means in a high altitude crash you'll land on your feet, and will help prevent overstop and overturn that might cause you to fall out of the sky

ARDroneShow.com commented on 01 Jul 2013

Owen -- well you know Parrot's about to release their 1500mah battery, for something like $75. That's ridiculous in my opinion. I should have some good upgrade batteries that are comparable in my store soon, that'll be about $30. Parrot's never really been on top of the battery situation, they think if they slap a Parrot sticker on a battery everyone will buy it. Lol and I guess a lot of people do, but I wouldn't spend $75 on their new battery myself.

ARDroneShow.com commented on 07 Sep 2013

The objective is to improve crash protection. This will absorb a lot of impact, and also will cause the drone to fall feet-first if it falls far enough -- see episode 19 for 150 ft crash tests. I crashed 100 ft with just a regular zip tie mod during filming of this week's episode. It was just zips, not a full hog mod, it ended up landing on it's side and broke the hull, cross, body, and maybe some other stuff I haven't put it back together yet =/

ARDroneShow.com commented on 14 Jul 2013

Well it adds about 7% weight. That's easily made up by removing the Parrot branding from the hull (5%), swapping bushings for bearings, upgrade gears, removing the magnet for velcro... easily makes that weight back. It also reduces overstop. It'll save money on replacement parts over time, not to mention the pain in the ass of crashing and having to stop flying due to a broken part. So it's a small price to pay for a little extra weight.

ARDroneShow.com commented on 03 Jun 2013

Well that's going to depend on what other mods you're using. I think what you're asking is how will the extra 25 grams affect battery life. Pretty minimally, especially if you reduce weight elsewhere. Peeling off the plastic on the hull, using bearings, and using Ultraflight gears will get you back to about even, about 5 grams overweight but added performance will make up the difference and then some

Luke Lyons commented on 05 Aug 2013

i did the three zip tie mod and now the drone seems to be a little unstable in flight. i watch it hold a hover and it seems as if it has to compensate for one side. any suggestions as to what i should do? also the drone will flip over in flight during some maneuvers, never has done this before.

ARDroneShow.com commented on 02 Apr 2013

Thanks Scott Oh yeah I've definitely got some custom hulls on the way. Those and some other mods I'm really excited about are coming mostly in April, some in May. A few I've already got but am still testing. A couple were no good, they can't all be winners

vague69 commented on 24 Aug 2013

sooooo looks like you found a great inexpensive way to mod your thing, anyhow I kept getting distracted by the upside down star in the background lol...is there a reason its positioned like that? Your a devil worshipper aren't you! good vid though

Ted Wilson commented on 24 Oct 2013

The hog tie mod works great. Thanks for the improved version. On an unrelated note, I know you can't be too picky about the (free) music overlay, but where online do you get the stock music access?

ARDroneShow.com commented on 09 Apr 2013

I JUST dropped them off, along with the hull, at the post office. It'll all shipping priority, I'm just right here in Little Rock so it should get there lickety split

Another great video Kyle. That blue tool works a ton better than the regular yellow one BTW. Any plans on carrying the custom outdoor hulls in your store?

owenjharvey commented on 30 Jun 2013

Thanks Kyle think I'm going to take of the plastic cover and go with 3 ties on each. Do you recommend getting any other batteries than the stock?

@uae3276 yes 1/4 turns of the fuel screew make a differance because it is part of the pilot circut of the fuel system and only effects your throttle from 0%-25% throttle. in hotter area and months of the year you want to run you quad a little leaner then when it is cold.i myself drop my main jet down 2-3 sizes in the winter months and on the really cold days i may have to move the clip 1 notch,but my fuel screew i usually only need to adjust about 1/2 turn to compensate for the weather changes.

uae3276 commented on 11 Sep 2010

@Tooextrememx now it is on what it comes stock which is the 4th one, ill change it to the 3rd on later on today. another thing is that sometime while i ride and slow down and just hold the clutch it stays reving high even tho i dont have my finger on the throttle, only when i let the clutch go again abit while in gear it the revs go back to normal. any idea what it could be?? really appreciating your help since im not to familiar with 4 strokes since i had a banshee before.. thanks

uae3276 commented on 14 Oct 2010

hi, i have another question, but ist about jetting, my piston broke and bent my crank rod because of running to lean, i order the big bore piston and going to bore my cylinder, 478cc, atm ive got 42 pilot and 158 main, have my air/fuel mixture screw 2 turns out...so i have a rossier exhaust and a stock airfilter and might get the k&n but no lid....would you have any idea what jets i would need? ohh and its mostly 40 degrees celcuis where i ride...thanks

462ccLiquid commented on 23 Jul 2010

@Tooextrememx haha, well at least they can come to good use in some situations. I got a couple buddies that hate clippin their nails too. I always rag on 'em for it till the rare occassion they actually do get rid of 'em. no hard feelins but I almost thought you were a cross dresser hahaha. btw you could you point me into the proper direction for custom rebuild kits? my 377 is an oversize bore (set up for racing) and I cant find the proper crap...

uae3276 commented on 01 Oct 2010

@Tooextrememx suddenly the engine made this wierd sound like pop or somthine and the person behind me said there was black greish smoke coming out of the back :S now it doesnt start, it will still shift gears, and when i hit the start button it just keeps cranking with a clicking noise coming from the motor... any idea?? would it be the piston rings or what?? really need help..thanks

Tooextrememx commented on 04 Mar 2011

@Deansvideos123 twist throttle are ok but the people that have issues with twist throttles are seasoned quad riders MX riders have no problem with a twist throttle on a quad since they are used to gripping there bike with there legs.quad riders don't grip with there legs and when there body shifts it tends to cause them to twist the throttle more and posably lose control.

fast450ridr commented on 04 May 2011

@rockerboi08 make sure you're not obstructing anything with your zip tie. the throttle wheel could be hitting your zip tie and that could be causing it. also make sure your carb is as clean as possible. I haven't done the zip tie mod to mine yet and it had a very sticky throttle until I sprayed every damn part of the carb with carb cleaner. No problems after that though.

Tooextrememx commented on 12 Sep 2010

@uae3276 sounds like your fuel screew is turned too high try turning the fuel screew 1/2 turn back or forward to see if the issue resolves. most fuel screew setttings should be about 2-2 1/2 turns from all the way in.you only want to be no more then 1 full turn from that.if you turn it more then 1 turn from the setting i stated above you may need to rejet your pilot jet.

uae3276 commented on 08 Sep 2010

great vid!!! helped a lot. just a question, when i go up a hill the engine tends to bog and die, or even when sometimes going on a flat land, it bogs and then i throttle or dont throttle and it dies.. and suggestions?? i did the zip tie mod, have the air screw 2 turns, i ride mostly at sea level and its around 45 degrees.. any suggestions, would really appreciate it.

Tooextrememx commented on 31 Aug 2010

@cr85dan624 it sounds like your charging system is trying to put more power to the battery them to the sparkplug. with this issue your only option is to try to charge the battery back up and see if it holds a charge if it don't you either have to have the battery conditioned or buy a new one. DON'T RUN WITHOUT A BATTERY damage to the charging system could happen.

uae3276 commented on 01 Oct 2010

hi, quick question, i just installed a full rossier exhaust and my quad doesnt want to idle, i am at sea level and its around 40 degrees celcuis, i got my fuel/air mixture screw out 2 turns and my idle screw is the full way in....so my question is should i screw the air/fuel mixture screw out half a turn or in half a turn?? or what could the problem be?? thanks

mossow71 commented on 28 Oct 2010

i tried this mod it works great.on my quad i have jet kit[fuel mixture screw,pilot,main jet,needle]and k & n velocity intake kit.i tried this it worked great much better throttle responce better aceleration faster throttle.i have been running my quad in 30 and 40 degree weather and once in awhile it backed fire i ran at night it was like 40 and it ran better

Tooextrememx commented on 17 Oct 2010

@uae3276 ti is a little hard just to throw you some jetting # because there is alot of factors to take into account when jetting your bike/quad. 1 altitude 2 air temp 3 humidity 4 mods 5 a few other things but 1-4 are most important it is always best to start out with a rich setting and slowly move 1-2 sizes on the main leaner till you got it just right.

XxROCKSTARxX69 commented on 18 Nov 2010

@Tooextrememx i did it to mine didnt really help may have to do that and get the fuel cover or even close the leak jet completely also check your jetting mine still bogs when i do that but my jetting is a little off since they ran race gas in this quad anyone know what io should run for a 95 octane compaired to 110?

uae3276 commented on 17 Oct 2010

@Tooextrememx yeah i heard, but i bought my exhaust second hand and didnt get any jetting info aswell as the big bore kit, so i would apreciate if you could give me a ruff estimate of what i would need for sea level,30 degrees celcius,20-60% humidity and k&n filter with big bore and rossier exhaust. any idea? thanks

Tooextrememx commented on 09 Sep 2010

@uae3276 try it on the center notch if you have to move the clip more then 1 notch in either direction you may need a differant main jet. with the posability the jetting is off cuz on the needle it can make it hard ti start.try it on either the 3rd or 4th notch if it is still giving you troubles let me know.

uae3276 commented on 13 Sep 2010

@Tooextrememx i have got the screw 2 turns out, so would that half a turn make the difference?? and regarding the air screw would an engine need less petrol in hot countries and more air so there for i can put the setting more lean so on the 3rd clip? thanks for helping me out.really appreciate it.

Tooextrememx commented on 04 Mar 2011

@brandon184839 i am bad with recommendations for shock setups since it is all the preference of the rider.i personally like my suspension set up with springs for a 180-200lb rider and the shock dampening set slightly soft on the rebound and med to hard on compression.i personally weigh about 150lb.

hey i need some help i just bought a 06 yfz450 . the battery is dead so the eletric start dosnt work.i tried pop starting it but it still wont start.so i tryed pop starting it with the battery disconnected and it fired right over. any suggestions on what do to and wonts wrong.thanks

uae3276 commented on 09 Sep 2010

@Tooextrememx ok, i put it on the 4th notch and starts now without me having to throttle a bit... i will try riding it later on today and will let you know... thanks for the help. for the cam mod, will i have to re jet my carb or can i leave it? if i need to re jet, to what? thanks

uae3276 commented on 01 Oct 2010

ok, so i turned it half a turn in and idled fine, drove fine aswell. i went to the desert and it was very hot again today, switched it on and had trouble keeping it idling. drove around a few times, no hill climbs or anything and then just cruised and gave it full throttle....
