Anytime you re-route the antenna, always go around the board. This prevents possible RF issues from having the antenna wire go over a capacitor or something in the board.

Centerline/Allan, if you're reading 45/10 by looking at the output shaft of the servo, I would say that sounds like a transmitter issue and would reccomend sending it in for service. I would send the receivers along to have them checked and the firmware updated just in case, but it sounds like a transmitter issue.

Nick, have you tried any other receivers or just the one? Do you have the ability to try a different receiver? Just trying to pin point whether it might be a module or receiver issue.

Losi123, drag brake is normally set via the ESC. By adjusting the thumb button, you're altering the amount of braking that your car has, just like the other thumb button changes the amount of steering throw.

I just received the micro receivers and I will give them a try and see if I have the same issue.

Thanks,

Hello guys!

I have some questions on the Spektrum.

The Micro receiver is just a smaller pro receiver, nothing lost, and it can receive the telemetry module ?

I read somewhere(can't find now :( ) that, if you need to extend the wires for the sensors, on the telemetry, you should not solder them, as it will cause interference or something. Is that right ?

Where is a good place to buy wires like the ones used on the sensors ? And conectors ? (so I could mount wire extensions, I need the male and female like the ones used on the module)

And, as it's hard to find dealers for Spektrum here in Brazil, what is the iradiation(SP?) levels(the waveleght) I need to trigger the lap counter sensor ? With that I can build a infrared emiter to use. (To buy the trigger, say, from eBay, I would pay more than double the price, brazilian taxes, blargh!!! :mad: )

Did anyone mount the RPM sensor on a TM G4S ? The only way I got was to set it on the 2snd spur gear, using lexan and fastening it at the breake post. But, when I need to fiddle with the spurs, all go havoc and it's a mess ...

Well, ok, thankx lots for any advice!!!

Yea hmm I just found that out before. So do you measure 3.6" from the top hole, or directly from the circuit board?

As far as I know, only thing missing from the pro receiver is telemetry!

Nick

Let me know what happens

From the circuit board. What I usually do to avoid opening the case is to cut the difference from the end of the aerial, but as you have already cut yours, do your measures from the circuit board.

cheers,

Intelligent Stupidity!
 

So, who has a ruler that measures "3.6"? What is the point of using imperial measurements when there is no way to accurately do it?

Is that measurement 'point six' as in 'six tenths' or what? The Imperial system is divided into twelths. So, is 'point-six' half of twelve, meaning 1/2"?

I can see the engineers and those responsible for the instructions sitting back in their offices laughing, "Lets see who looks for 'point six' on a standard imperial ruler."

How gay!

I have resolved the compatibility problem of the "SPM1001 DSM 3-Channel Series Surface System: R-1" with jr x-756 2 stick version radio. I have placed an electrolitic capacitor of 470 uF between contact that carry PPM signal and 1 Kohm resistor of PPM pin on PCB of jr-x756 radio, where RF module is placed. The capacitor reduce noise in moment of radio startup. This is a high pass filter, it filters the dc component from microprocessor.

Actually i'm using spektrum module on jr x-756 radio.

You really don't need to cut the antenna at all, it is simply offered as an option where a shorter antenna is preferable. In 2 years I have never altered the length of any of my receiver antenna's, be it the original SR3000's or the SR3500.

I agree - I can't see why people would actually WANT to cut the antenna. . .:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the new micro 6ch rx has ESD protection. I was thinking of trying one for Carpet touring car rubber tires. It's extremely small. Suggestions/ comments/ criticism welcomed.

I'd bet it wouldn't work. The 6-channel park flyer system actually transmits and receives on TWO channels simultaneously (so, like, only FORTY guys could race at once :lol: ). I don't think it would link up to a single channel broadcasting transmitter like our car radios.

Of course, I may be mistaken...

Pretty cool if it did as the receivers are very small and have a lexan case/housing. Not bad that they run about half the price of a 3500 Micro either.

Scottrik

OMG fully agree! :lol: But using a calculator I tried to cut it as acurate as possible.

The Spektrum Air receivers are not compatible with the surface modules or radios. My reccomendation would be to go with an SR3500 receiver if you're looking for something small that has the updated firmware to resist ESD
