Odd, ok, I'll pass it on. For what it's worth, I just picked up a GTX, SR3500, and JR9000S servo for my XXX-CR I just finished building. Bound and setup without an issue.

Just tried the "bad" ones in my TC that has the 1 good receiver in it and they do the exact same thing... The micro flashes twice and goes out and wont bind. The Pro receiver binds but as soon as you get your finger near it the green light cutts out and you lose control.

I bought two as well. One was fine...issues with the other.

Looks like your "sending it back" I was lucky, my shop traded me for a good one. I brought my car in and they were allowing me to open as many packages as need to get one that worked.

Hey Eric,
It's probably that uber HIGH voltage IB4200's you run. :sneaky: Try dropping a "normal" pack in it and see how it does.... :p :p :p

But seriously, sorry you are having trouble. I have a PRO system and have had no problems, but I haven't taken the plunge on the mini receivers yet. I was going to pick one up this weekend for the BRP 1/18th cars we plan to run at the DC Speedway this winter. Any lot codes or build dates I should watch out for on these 3500 RX's?

I bought a Pro system about 2 months ago and the Mod would not bind, I could get the Pro receiver to bind with the old spektrum module. I thought it was just me...Man when Eric has problems...It's serious...jk

I have the exact same problem with my micro receiver :cry: I thought I was doing something wrong even though I followed the instruction sheet that came with it.

anyone here ever had a problem with their spektrum rx glitching with a KD-19T motor with XXX brushes???

Well Heck I am going to count my blessings..

Four Pro Micros and very first batch......
All bound first shot, never had a problem since.
One is 8th scale Truggy,
One in 10th scale touring,
One in 12th scale Pan,
One in 18th scale off road.

Only problem I found is if I run a digital servo with a BEC problem child ESC, it would have issues..
-Shookie <><

Both of my 3500's have been great and they were from the first batch. Sedan and micro racing. So I guess I will count myself lucky as well.

SM1000 SR3000
 

Bought a used M11 radio with a spectrum SM1000 and SR3000.
I'm new to the Spectrum crowd. Will be running it in 1/12 scale.

What should I beware of with the older Tx and Rx?
Can I use a new Micro Receiver with the SM1000?

Nothing to beware of. And yes, the SM1000 will work with the Pro Series receiver, the original receiver, and the SM3500 micro.

Hi all... Sorry if this has been covered...

I recently purchased the Spektrum system for my KO Helio. It is the PRO Version. However I am still facing problems. The car would glitch and sometimes loose control completely. It only happens to certain parts of the track and sometimes it is completely fine, and next lap it is completely disasterous.

I am using KO VFS-1 ESC, with KO Servo. Do I need to adjust the ESC as my friend pointed out to me that I need to increase the Voltage in the ESC to 4.0V and it may solve the problem.

I am even running the Spektrum Capacitor but still no luck.

Please advice.

Thank you.

Thats what the stock receiver that binded to my module did. If you touch the receiver with your finger the light goes out as well? But you can pick the car up, shake it, smack it and throw it and it still works fine. I think its static doing it as mine would run ok for a few corners and then go nuts. Then regain control and loose it again a few corners later. That may not be it but I'd be curious if yours cutts off if you touch it with your finger like mine did.
