this seems to be a bit of a common problem? give this a try, hold down bind button on rx then turn rx power on you should get green flashing slowly yes?
ok get tx and turn on while holding bind button for a few secs, you should also see green flashing then turn solid. now turn all off and then turn tx then rx on give your thr/str and go any luck?? also try it without servos in rx.
cheers

is there a part # for this $45 2.4 losi reciever? THe lhs around here even wants $79 for those and the break downs on some of the losi cars online dont how a part #. Any help would be great.

Did you even try to look? I don't know the part # either, but I typed in "Slider receiver" and look what I found:

No, he got you to look it up for him. :lol: j/k

That's what I thought :lol:

Some people are so :sneaky:

I looked through the thread and went down to the 2 LHS and niether of them could find it on there losi break downs. I tried to support my local shops first. I also tried to look it up on losi parts break down and couldnt find the part#. I dont buy rc stuff online nor will I even look at the online stores because they dont support or build the local rc tracks. So shake your head at that.

Always willing to prove a point...I just went to Losi's site and typed in "slider receiver". Boom... http://www.losi.com/Search/Default.a...lider+receiver . I guarantee it took less time to do so than it took to type your original post.

I think it's GREAT that you support your LHS but you indicated no such bias in your original query. In fact you indicated you'd been looking at some "online break downs".

And before you jump up on your "mail-order" soapbox you should know that Bob Stormer is a GREAT friend of his local racing program...ours. We couldn't ask for more support, especially from a busy man who still takes time out of his schedule to make the 8 hour round trip (in good weather...more if it's snowy/icy like today) to race toy cars with us and share ideas on how to improve our racing program. He usually buys entries in classes that he and his crew aren't seriously competing in too...all to help a small club survive/thrive. He also takes that same supportive attitude to tracks throughout the region and beyond racing pretty much all types of RC cars. He's also the first to encourage people to shop with their LHS...but you need to understand that for many of us who aren't living in a major metro area Stormer really IS our LHS.

Something to think about.

Thanks Jim, and just for clarification I was referencing mostly the older series of Tekin speedos such as the G12C, 411G2, etc. As I said, the only current Tekins I have used has been the Mini-Rage and the B1 Forward-Only. The Mini-Rage had some low BEC issues that was solved by the installation of the SPM1600 Voltage Protector. The B1 seems good so far with an SR3500. And just so no-one gets the wrong idea, I'm not bashing Tekin gear; Most who know me well know I swore by their stuff back in the day. One of my all-time favorite speedos is still the G12C3, and Tekin's Current Limiter was still the easiest to adjust and get accurate, repeatable results from.

m8/m11 antenna mod
 

Has anyone done the m8/m11 antenna mod with the pro module? I've looked around and only saw it done with the older module. Is there anything different? Can it be done the same way?

Thanks.

The mod ends up being pretty much the same, "regular" or pro.

Keep in mind that the job IS significantly different between the M8 and the M11. All the online instructions (that I've seen anyway) are for the M8 and it's pretty much a no-brainer. The M11, though it looks like it shoud be a pretty similar job, is an entirely different kettle of fish. I sent mine to one of the guys on here who does 'em rather than risk a $250-300 transmitter. I wouldn't hesitate to do M8's all day long.

I have a couple m8's.... and your right, most of the mods I've seen are m8's with the older module. My ? is really about the pro module. Wasn't sure if there was any difference.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I ran the new dx3r last week. It feels really nice and light. The throttle has two spring rates on the trigger. It is softer on throttle and stiffer for the brakes. It makes it easier for me to control the car when braking.It may not have all the gadgets some of the others do , but it has the things you need.

do the spektrum voltage protector's have a limited life? I've had one for a year and just today it looked like i was getting some glitching. i should also mention that it has a slite dent on the side of it. could this also have something to do with it? the wierd thing is, the dent has been there a while.

anyway has anyone had to replace there voltage protector?

What gadgets are missing on the dx3r? the specs look like they have all the features you need. When is the dx3r going on sale?

The Horizon site says Mid-January. I dont think much is missing, Spektrum really did their homework with this thing, very easy to use and it might even have a few features that others don't. it's pretty dialed IMO.
