Default Dx3s anyone else have this problme?

Ok so for my losi 8E I have my first profile set up for it.

Now Im just setting up my losi 8T. Here is the deal I can only get my servos to work from profile one. I made a 2nd profile but I get nothing no gas servo and no steering servo but as soon as I click back to the first profile it works?

that would be because you have the reciever bound to profile one and not profile two and dont get me wrong on this one but as far as i'm aware you cant bind the same reciever to 2 profiles. thats part of the whole model match thing that doesnt allow you to connect to the wrong car

I think I get what you are saying. But the receiver in my nitro is not the same receiver from my 8E

The dx3s doesn't have model match so that couldn't be it anyway. None the less I would try re binding it. Other than that I'm not sure what the problem could be. Even that shouldn't be the problem. I would contact spektrum/horizon about it.

Actually, according to this excerpt from the manual (page 3), it does have model match:

Model Match/Binding
The DX3S features ModelMatch (patent pending).
ModelMatch prevents a model from being operated when
the wrong model memory is selected. If the wrong model
memory is selected the receiver simply won’t respond to
the transmitter.
It’s necessary to program the receiver to a specific
model memory (called binding) so that the receiver
will only recognize and respond to that specific model
memory. See Page 16 for specific details on Binding and
ModelMatch.

Really??? I thought only the DSM2 operating systems could have model match.

I do see that it says it has model match. Wierd. I'm wrong lol

Yeah I see that now but I swear when the dx3r came out spektrum said it was able to have model match because of the DSM2 operating system.

I guess they found a way around that or it was just BS(to get you to want DSM2) in the first place.

LOL. Yeah I will have to screw around with it some more. I know that it has binded to the receiver without even using the little model match stick. guess now I need to try and bind that receiver to profile 2 with that little model match stick and see if that works.

I believe the model match stick you are talking about is the BIND plug. If so this is nessicary to bind the reciever to the radio. Put the bind plug into the battery terminal and plug your battery into the aux. channel and turn the switch on. then you follow the procedure in the radio to bind it. note always put the reciever into bind mode before the radio. I'm not sure how the radio end works on the dx3s. check your manual.... all the info is there.

Yeah that's what it's called the bind plug. Ive never had to use the bind plug the TX and RX did it automatically the first time I used it.

some of the recievers use a binding button on the reciever rather than the binding plug, but the 2 recievers that come with the dx3s must use the plug. We did have problems with early dx3r's losing bind when switching model memories, but the problem has been solved with the dx3r and I have never seen it be a problem with other Spektrum radios. I have a dx3r and dx3s with no problems. Bind your 8t to model memory #2 and it shouldnt be a problem!!
