Anyone got a part number for the bling bling .. gold screws?

i don't have the manual in fron tof me, but you need to re-adjust the "vr" i believe. It basically is to setup the resistance at full lock for the steering . What is happening is the radio does not think that it is at full lock. so the steering mechanism is not set correctly, does not provide enough on the variable resistor to signal full lock.

from ko staf post on page 3

Aluminum Light Weight Screws # 17002

Just like theisgroup stated, you must go to the function called Adjust VR. This will reset the pots in the radio. If they do not reset, then you know that you have a bad pot will need to send it in for repairs. I tell all of our pro-drivers to do this at least once a month to make sure that everything is working correctly. It is an easy way for your to calibrate the pots yourself.

What is the size of the gold screws? I would like to see if I can find Ti screws in that size.

I don't know if this has been asked already, but is KO ever going to release a synthesized module and receiver? I've used KO transmitters for the past 10+ years and the only reason I would change is to use the synthesized setup to get away from crystals

Yes...

yes it was asked but ko said no not for helios but in the futre for lower models maybe rtr upgrade kit or something .

I have the same problem with mine too, I just crank the wheel a bit more left (ahm ahm!) using some force and the asterick will show up on the menu screen. I know, it's not right by something I just live with.

BTW, is anyone's Helios suck up batteries like in no time? Compare to the Type 2000R, I have to change alkline batts more often???

Dom

not for the Helios but for lower models? doesn't make sense to me why they would do that

hey dom.. i have two helios radios.. and both are fine in terms of battery life. in one radio, i use the ko battery pack and charger. my 75band radio uses energizer rechargable batteries. the ones that are esp. designed for digital cameras. you can get 4 + charger for about $30 at best buy. i charger all 8 batteries the night before a race, and the next race day i can go a whole day without charging. one thing i did notice is battery life is shortened whenever i make a lot of adjustments. but once all my adjustments are done, im okay.

i have a ton of these at the house, i use them for remote controls, my rc radios, wall clocks and my digital camera. great batteries :) too bad they're not matched! HAHAHAHAH :rolleyes: :lol:

This is a simple fix.
 

I had same problem and called ko...you had to go into the adjust vr and recalibrate the radio..it is real simple..get into the screen turn full left and full right and full throttle and full brake and it resets the radio.

Consult the manual on the adjust vr if you are still unclear.

This is a simple fix.
 

oops they already listed the fix.
