GHETTOTEACHER

I was playing with the new transmitter the other day. My LHS has them in stock. I'm not totally sold on the TX yet. I was with Nomadio as a beta tester for the Sensor. I have to say that it feels just like it. The four batteries and screen feel the same as the Sensor. The weight and the speed will be the selling points. Navigating the screen is pretty easy also. I want to see how they will do on the track in comparison to the Futaba system.

Issue with DX3R was it was losing the bind while on the track. It happened twice, so they pulled out of racing. I will see if they found anything since last weekend.

Having tested the radio since June I have honestly never seen this happen. What receiver were they using? I have run this radio with the SR3000, SR3001, SR3500 and SR3100 with zero issues. What sort of car was it being run in as well in terms of class, servos, ESC/Receiver pack, etc. Thanks

It was running in a Mugen MBX5R. I will find out more, I didn't get to chat with him to find out what happened, but he was using it again, so I will see if there was issue he did or he found with the system.

It seems like most (but not all) of the Spektrum issues have to do with a bad battery pack. I am anxious for Horizon to get these back in again. Any ETA on that Gary?

I wouldn't totally agree with that, but often the receiver pack is a part of the picture that is commonly overlooked. But there have been honest issues found that we need to know about. Its hard to work on a fix if you're unaware of a problem, know what I mean?

As far as when more should be available, I don't know particulars on that, sorry. I do know as soon as we've been getting them we've been fulfilling backorders. Sory if that's a bit vague but I don't have anything to do with the logistics.

Did you power the receiver by plugging into the AUX port? I am going to try binding mine tonight.

OK, quick call to the Spektrum support line and we know it doesn't matter which port you plug into to power during binding.

I have a question on mixing. Is there a way to set up a weak negative relationship between the steering and the throttle that will reduce throttle input during high steering input, which will roll more throttle on as the steering input is released? Essentially pulling throttle during tight corners on low traction surfaces like traction control...Anyone thought about this yet? I got my DX3R last night an read through the book, this jumped out as a possibility.

hi Guys, been using my DX3R alot lately and i love it, except for the fact that i have lost bind twice on two club day occasions, has this happened to any one else?
Also has any one noticed that you can make the RX light flicker on just by turning the steering servo when redirecting the front wheels by hand left and right while the car is switched off i know its not good to do it for the servo side, but is this a bad thing that RX is getting extra feed back from the servos while they are always moving at a fast speed wilst driving? is there a fix for this EG, capacitor or regulater or something? any input is appreciated. thanks Guys hope to hear back from you soon.
