You can get an replacement tag from Schumacher USA, they are the distributor for Keyence here in the US, as far as removing the heatsink, you can try using an "activator," which loosens the adhesive, but I don't know the affect will be on the surrouding electronics.

Who has the Rapida pro in stock?

I haven't been able to find one anywhere.

Ask Doug to order one for you. We have over a hundred Rapida Pros in stock right now.

Hey Adrian. I sent my f-zero in and am not sure how I pay for repairs?

Spektrum compatibility
 

Hey guys,

I recently connected my good ol' Zero V Extreme to the newest Sprektum receiver, the SR3500, powered it up, and for some reason, the ESC seems to be glitchy, the steering servo is fine, it a Airtronics digi servo. Anyone had this problem before?

rc_bam - What are your throttle channel endpoints (EPA on Airtronics and KO, ATV on Futaba) set to? They should be 100% Throttle and 100% Brake. If you have them over that the speedo dosen't like it and does weird stuff like what you describe.

Thanks Adrian, I'll take a look at my KO tonight when I get home from work.

Hey Adrian,

Looked at my Helios, the EPA or Travel for my KO is at 100. Still the same thing, after powering up, the Speedo reads 21-31P, and its running in reverse. Haven't had this problem before I switched radios. Any help from anyone would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

The ESC should read "0"p, it's needs to be reset.It may take a few times it's kinda touchy on the buttons.I used to have trouble with it and had a buddy that could get it right almost everytime,but sometimes it would take him a few times too.

Can you please tell me how to do that? :sweat:

Zero V extreme glitching
 

I had the same situation with my Zero V Xtreme. I replaced the Spektrum RX and the glitching stopped, but I did have to completely setup the ESC again for it to find neutral properly and read '0'. I would turn it on and it would be at 30 or so until I did a complete reset.

No more glitching with the new RX. I was also using an Airtronics servo.

Whip out your manual and reset it!

I race with two guys that run Spectrum (old and new pro systems) and their Keyence speedos work perfectly. You have to have somthing set incorrectly.

It looks like you have't set the speedo to your new radio system.

1. With your transmitter on turn the speedo on.
2. Push the center button once to enter the SET mode.
3. While in the SET mode push the center button and hold it for for ~6 sec out until "nutr" appears. This puts you into the tramsmitter setting mode.
4. Keep you finger off the trigger and push the right arrow button, you just set the neutral point.
5. The display will switch to "drHP". Pull full throttle and hold it. Push the right arrow button.
6. The display will switch to "brHP". Push full brake and hold it. Push the right arrow button.

Note: In step 3 if you saw "nutr" right away when you pushed the center button you are NOT in the trans mitter setting mode. It takes at least 6 sec to get into that mode and all the LED's on the speedo will light/count up on the way there.

Spektrum Pro
 

Yep I ran my Keyence with my Spektrum Pro series this weekend with no problems and the weekend before I ran with my old Spektrum system and I have never had a problem with either one. It must be in your speedo set up like Adrian said...........



Keyence speed controlls are the best speed contoll on the market...... :D

Does anyone have a view on ENSA setting/diodes?? specifically when running mod - 7 turn.

IIIRC, the manual says that with ENSA on stock setting (100) you shouldn't run any motor diodes - however, if you lower the value you can run diodes.

Has anyone tried both settings. I have a much more 55A diode pack sitting around that i have used with my KO speedo, but not tried ti with the Rapida.

I have been really struggling at the last couple of meetings with breaking - breaks fading during the run (motor heat i suspect), just wondering if running a big diode with the ENSA lower would help.

Matt - We have not tried turning down the ENSA in the US but give it a shot. I think if you are experiencing brake fade that should help.
