I use this setup in both 12th scale and TC. I do have digital servos in both cars. The 12th scale has a KO digital and the TC has a the airtronics digital. I do not see any nervousness out of my servos in either cars.

Hi Marvi,

Nope, if you want ot run the HighRate receiver you'll need the receiver pack with a healthy 6VDC out to power both the Rx and the digital servo that the HRS needs.

Hi Izzy,

No, I mean that I only had a digital servo with me. The HRS REQUIRES a digital servo to operate and I only wanted to bring one servo with me. The Hitec DCX receiver I brought with me worked fine too it's just a conventional FM receiver with a dual conversion front end for the tuner. I don't have a Futaba PCM receiver so I could not test it.

This is exactly what happen to my 3pk and Spectra module! I end up sale the Spectra and stack with the standard module.

I finally tested my Spectra module (75mhz) with my 3PK last night. Everything worked like a charm on HRS (and digital servo) and in PPM mode (with analog servo). No glitching or anything out of the ordinary. I have been successfully using it with my 3pjs for over a year and a half.
Gotta love the crystaless mode (with XXtra receiver), but I agree that I am tempted to drill 2 holes in side for easy access to frequency dials. I agree that those slots on top must be for upcoming crystaless module from Futaba (or Novak)....for now I will remove when need to dial in a new frequency.

Love the new setup!!

Hi Izzy & Eddie,

What receivers and servos did you use when you had this problem? My 3PK and Futaba R203HF and Hitec DCX receivers are working perfectly with a Hitec HS5245MG servo using the Hitec Spectra module.

I e-mailed Novak to see if they had plans to make a "switch" module for the 3PK. The response was "no". They didn't go into any more detail than that

Hopefully Futaba will come through with a module

Sorry j0n0. That's why we don't have KO radios!

I talked with Charlie when he was in cleveland for the indoor champs and he said that they would not work on a module without the ok from the company. Airtronics was all for it and I think you will see JR to follow. I guess futaba does not want someone to take away sales of crystals or cash in on their product. I have been told that crytals cost around .04 a piece and are sold for 30 dollars a pair.

I contacted futaba when I was deciding on a radio and they would give no information.

Hi Ken and All,

After my testing of my new Spectra module in the 3PK Tx I decided that it's a pain in tha tail to change freqs so I just bought a new Lynx3D for the DCX, extra crystals and Spectra module in the radio system on eBay.

Once I get this new Spectra module I'm going to crack it open and add a new set of switches so I can change frequencies without drilling holes or having to R&R the module. I'll tell you how to do it and what part numbers you'll need to order to get it to work once I get the second Spectra module.

This is just too neat a feature to not have!
