Hi, quick question: I've just got my first spektrum.... I've read that you can cut the receiver antenna to 3.6 inches, does anyone running mod touring 1/10 have done this?? I can live with the longer antenna, but making it completely dissapear under the body is an option that is very atractive.... indeed ;)

thanks!

Hmmmm, how much of the wire do you leave on vertical? Can you post a picture? Thanks a lot!

And I will try those 8.4 f.d.r (from Novak Brushless) Thanks as well!

Probably half of the 3.6 inches is in the arial tube.

Hi not sure if its been mentioned (not gonna read 66 pages)
I have a Dx3 and when i turn it on it take a couple of seconds for the reciver to activate.
Is this normal???

Yes, thats the spektrum finding a free frequency, and then connecting to the receiver.

Anyone know where I can get wire like what they use in receivers? My micro rx wire is nicked and I wanted to replace it. I've done it previously on other receivers.

Where can I order the receiver wire from?

Receiver Wires
 
You mean like this from Horizon? Receiver Antenna Wire 72/75MHz, part number JRPA170 By JR.

I always just ask my LHS on stuff like that, they find it for me. I like to have a spare one in my box just in case, $1.50 insurance.

Hello guys, today i receive my Pro micro spectrum, and it binds!!!!!... two of them... so far so good...

harris 12-16-2006 12:29 AM

I have a question: now that i am using Pro spectrum with my EX-10 Ko-propo. do i have to change the "high Speed Response" to "Normal Response"??

Mr. Shookie 12-16-2006 06:40 AM

Use Normal mode.

I bought a Spektrum micro and when I got it home it wouldn't bind... it just blinked erratically and wouldn't bind.... I sent it back (since the shop I bought it from wouldn't exchange it) and Horizon sent it back saying it binded/bound without a problem... I then went to bind it again (after being w/o it for two weeks and only having it in my possession for 12 hours) and it worked flawlessly... so I don't know what the heck was wrong with mine, but oh well
