Re: My mCPx got eaten by a shark! One tip: use a regular 1.5V AAA alkaline battery for the Rx. Even a fully charged NiMh battery doesn't have enough voltage to show the tail fin's full muscle strength. It can fly fine like casual swimming with an NiMh but with a new 1.5V alkaline it can spin on a dime and swim like it has just spotted a prey. Wonder if the Rx and motors can take 1s Lipo. I have tons of them I can use to replace a heavy 1.5V AAA. Perhaps I can run a diode or 2 to drop some voltage. |

Re: My mCPx got eaten by a shark! Thanks, guys. Looks like one of my distributors carries these ... going to grab one for my kids (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). |

Re: My mCPx got eaten by a shark! Forgot to check back in here. I filled mine up with the "Balloon Time" kit from Walmart. I wonder if there are different sized kit out there because mine was $24 but could only fill 1.5 sharks. I tried my local dollar-store that sells helium balloon at first but they refused to fill it because they couldn't estimate how much to fill. I probably would've tried other dollar stores or florists but I didn't have the time to do it. |

Party stores will be able to refill for you. They even rent helium tanks. |
