Default Futaba 3PL to Traxxas Link Rcr?

Any help on binding the 3PL to a Traxxas Link receiver? I followed the instructions for the Futaba but according to the LED information, the receiver never reports an ID match. I don't have any documentation for the receiver so might there be something I need to do to it to reset it first?

Thanks!

Why would you ever try to Bind a nice Tx to that crap Rx? Buy the futaba rx and sell the traxxas rx........

Yeah, to a certain degree as above here^^ They won't link to eachother as they are using different technologies in transmitting the signals. This is the only disadvantage with 2,4 ghz, on FM you could use whatever rx on whatever tx.

Well, mainly because it came with the car I picked up and was just trying to use my transmitter with both rides.

But I kinda came to the same conclusion this morning and picked up a Futaba Rx.

Thanks!

Since these companies spend a lot of money developing their 2.4 systems and patents, you can be pretty sure they don't work together. They use diff signal encoding/decoding so they won't talk to each other.

The only exception is a re-branded rcvr made for someone other than the orig brand and there was only one instance I'm aware of for that case and it doesn't involve your rcvr.

I assume Duster is refering to the Losi receivers which are made by Spektrum. Is there another situation that I'm not aware of Duster?

That's the one I was referring to. There isn't another one that I'm aware of.


This has gone so far that race 2.4 radios don't appear to work with the same brands sport 2.4 versions......

I have a pair of the the 2ch Tactic 2.4 radios and they won't bind with anything except the Tactic rcvrs.


But thats the opposite direction you're asking about.
