I think he ment 3.6cm

It's actually 3.6 inches, not 2 3/4".

3.6" who came up with that one? You have to have an engineering scale to read in 1/10's of an inch. Millimeters would have been easier than 1/10's.

I knew it was a typo, cause Shookie is always on top of his game.

Anyone else have this problem? I can't adjust the steering balance left and right on my radio, but I can reset it. Once I get to that menu, I can't select left or right. Thanks.

You have to turn the steering wheel to the left or right before the adjustments can be made.
Hope that is what the problem is.

Like Shookie said, you have to turn the wheel to adjust the EPA, but...
If you are turning the wheel to full throw and don't get the <*> next to the L or R setting, all you have to do is carry through the "adjust VR" function to reset the physical end points, and all will be fixed .

I'll ask this again as it seems a dozen people have asked and haven't really got any answers.

Is there a way to get some drag brakes by adjusting the transmitter. I am running a GTB/Brushless and the drag brakes on the esc are a joke...I need a way to add some drag while not doing anything hokey. KO STAFF...any ideas??

You should be able to adjust your throttle trim to do it.

Not a radio fix - but the new sintered rotor for the GTB is a big plus in terms of drag brake.

Or like others have suggested - turn the drag brake up on the GTB first... program away!


Lastly - don't know about the helios.. but erhm.. throttle trim?

I already have the GTB at maximum drag brake. I'm not sure what your suggesting with the trim...if I adjust the throttle trim to have some drag...won't the ESC not reach full throttle?

Nope try the Brake curve.......it will make it come on stronger sooner...
Read the manual about the brake settings in the Radio....
I use it constantly in Nitro...

Hello,
I don't know if this question has already been asked but I just bought a used helios EX-10 and when I turn it on and especially scroll through the different things the letters are pretty dim?? Just wondering if something goes bad with them inside or what? Thanks,
Justin
