fastpete you should get a nitro lipo batt pack and put a voltage regulator on it and charg it every 3-4 race days depending on how many cars you run! thats what i did i ussed my nitro lipo pack and regulator from when i did a E LST2 and havent had to charge but every month and i run 3 classes and practice i try to charge every 10-15 hrs of the transmitter being on it is an easy way to do it it is about $50 but well worth it plus it saves weight!

Hi Gary,Just want let you know im happy now.Got the RPM working great.I found out theres a greed light on the reciever,might want to put this in the instructions.I just moved the gap tighter till the green light came on.And turned the engine over with the roto start no glow plug and got a steady 1440.Then turned it over by hand and made sure the light only went off once when the black pass the sensor.So all good I hope this helps someone out.

Why do people say that this controller is not good for racing, is it because the response time of 11 seconds not as fast as the dx3r 5 second response time?

It's not that the DX3S is bad for racing. It's just that for those looking for the most responsive radio the DX3R is superior.

Yes, the DX3S can be used with the SR3001, SR3000, SR3500, SR300, SR3300T and the Losi MRX-3000 receiver with DSM technology. With the SR3000 and SR3001 you don't use a bind plug, just the built-in bind button.

That Be Me Your friendly neighborhood spider, erm, Spektrum-man

Have you tried reversing the throttle throw before binding and resetting the ESC? I don't have my DX3S with me this weekend. I've just got my 3R so I'll have to go ahead and test this on Monday, but the throttle reverse "might" do it. Just a hunch.
