dx3r spring with reward who ever can help
recently i wanted to try out the left handed kit on my dx3r and while doing so i noticed a little spring fall out so i was just wondering where does it go? who ever gives me the answer can have $5 as i am really desperate as i have a race tomorrow
thanks |
Does the steering wheel return to center? It could be the steering return spring that fell out.
Does the throttle return to neutral? It could also be a spring from the throttle trigger. There might be 2 springs in the throttle - one for return from forward and one for return from reverse - or just one for return from both... |

Ok so you need to open up the Tx again and figure out exactly where the spring is supposed to go. Chances are it'll be pretty obvious; I.e.: pins with nothing attached, dangling levers, etc.

thanks! |
Have you contacted Spektrum yet?
|
i have and they just said there is a place you have to put it. :eek:
i would have never figured they said i can send it in but i dont have time for that thanks |
Open up the radio... take a picture.... we cant tell ya if we cant see it.

I tried opening mine up to see if I could help. When I took the steering mechanism off I could see the spring inside behind the steering tension adjustment screw. Running in the same up-down direction it appeared. Not sure how it came out if you followed the directions, but hey stuff happens. I chickened out in going any further, wasn’t sure if I should start with the inner larger screws or the smaller outer ones. But I suspect the spring goes across 2 pins, one for each direction of wheel travel, assuming it’s like other radios I have dissected. Wiggle the wheel maybe you can see something.
If you can’t figure it out, perhaps send a PM to RCGaryK. He works for Horizon, maybe he could take some pictures to help you out. (You’re welcome Gary ;)) Good Luck. |
