Lynx 3D Thottle Problem
G'day Guys,
Wonder if you can explain this one to me....
I went up to an event on plane interstate (packaged in original box with polystyrene), ran the event and came back, but on the place my Power switch must have gone to ON and I Didn't know until the next race meet where I had no power cause the switch was on. I charged it all up and recalibrated the throttle and steering and the car worked on both steering and thottle. That was enough and off to the track. The car had plenty of power but just felt like it didn't have any brakes. I tested it out and the car just kept moving rather then braking and it wasn't a slipping diff as I tested that on the ground. I went back into the safe mode on the transmitter and it showed perfectly that it was going into the braking fine, something like +127 - -55 or something like that, which is about right given the amount of through for throttle compared to braking.
So, I thought that it would be perhaps the speedy that needed to be set up again properly, but it wouldn't register what the throttle was doing completely, mainly where I needed to input FULL brake and press the button. Then........ and now...... I no longer have ANY movement from the car. The light moves on the speedy in relation to the throttle so it is understanding the transmitter but not outputting it. Now, I thought initially that it was the speedy, but I tested a friend's Hitec CRX with my Module and it worked just fine, did braking and everything, as well as having the ability of setting up the speedy controller.
I then, tested my transmitter with my friends module with my friends car, and it did the same thing as my car (Same speedy as well).
ULTRA WEIRD if you ask me. Its as if my TX has gone into a testing mode for the throttle or something because in both cases, the steering works just fine. Are the any suggestions that I can do? Is there a factory reset of the unit that I can do and then recalibrate it again using that "safe mode" system that I've used before??
Also.... if my transmitter is broken or stuffed finally (which I don't think it has, just its a setting or something), will a KO EX-10 Helios with a KO 29 mhz module work fine with my HFS-03MM that I have?? Also... will the crytals that I have work between the KO and HFS-03MM??
Looking forward to hearing from you, as soon as possible if you didn't mind.

Nope, its discontinued. Mine is VERY old but still in good condition. Still think its a great radio but it is at the end of its life I think with me, as I am feeling the urge to go to Helios!
