Johnny: I have an aftermarket wheel on the radio. 2 of my buddies also have the same wheel with no issue. I guess i should put the stock wheel back on and see if it's the same situation. Thanks for the idea.

That sounds like a failsafe kicking in to me, make sure the receiver batteries in you TNX are fulled charged.

I charge mine at .70 amps, but if I am in a bit of a hurry. I will bump it up to 1.0 amps. I am afraid what 1.5 amps will do.

Felix,

I'm not sure i completely understand why you're having trouble but i'll see if i can help.
The rubber insert where the stock nicad pack went obviously has to come out, and place the battery tray in so the batteries are facing OUT.
The lid should fairly easily slide over and close, just watch the battery pack wire just before the lid secures.
i'm not sure that was much help, let me know if you're still having trouble.

Angry reseting model in radio leaves outoput on servo channels

I have a problem with my 3PK, it is an older one, golden in color.

When I do a model reset to reset every setting in the radio,
usually one of the servo channels stays with output

the other day it was channel 2 that had lots of brake applied after the reset.

I can not get this removed from the radio????

inputs?? what can be wrong?
Am I in for a new radio?

Thanks!

Tudor,

Sounds like you may have a bad trim switch or CPU. If you're in the U.S., send it in for repair.

Everything else about the radio was the same.
Maybe JonnySocko has more info.
Yeah I have.........I just switched from a z-1 and can't get used to the feel of that trigger! I tried someone elses which is about a year or so old and liked it! I don't like mine.....it's not good for larger fingers.......any known sollution to this problem other than heating and bending it? It also seemd that the throttle side of the trigger was smaller in length as well! I wonder if I could replace the trigger with a older one?
