no had no problem - didn't even have to reset the esc or steering trim. if your running a sperate car it should be much easier. good luck

shouldnt be a big deal.. i had to switch back and forth a couple weekends ago. i had different profiles on my Helios, so i just popped in the reg module, and changed profiles... worked perfectly.

So I am hearing about some issues with certain servos, can anyone verify that the system works with a KO 2143 servo.

Thanks,
Mark

I've used it the system with seperate 2143 servos in two different cars. Both worked perfectly once setup.

They were both with novak cyclone speedos.

i would bet that the 2143 servo works fine given the power to the tranceiver/receiver is solid.
there are some esc's that deliver more power to these. i am not an expert on this but understand that some deliver 6volts down to something like 5.6volts. the problem spektrums have had are power related - as the tranceiver uses slightly more power than the current standard receivers. this is why wiring a capacitor up plugged into the BATT or AUX slot helps.

So if the problems have been related to the power output of the esc, can someone tell me how the LRP quantum2 and KO VFS-1 fair?

Thanks,
Mark

i used mine first with the VFS-1 in a 4-cell 1/12th scale, and it was fine... works also with the GTX i have in the car at the moment...

also confirmed to work well with a Novak Spy... i got a spare rec and installed it in my Xray micro last weekend, also worked fine.

i have only direct experience with the KO VFS-1 and it works great. i have even run the car on old batteries until it is barely able to run and have had full radio control.

Thanks for the tip, I will try that...... Im using a Quantum2 and it

seem to not supply enough power cos Im also having problems

with my transponder skipping as well....... especially when running mod

rocketron,

How exactly do you hook it up? Can you draw me a diagram? thanks

As for my servos, thsy are both 2343, one was brand new.......

Ran my Spectrum tonight for the first time... JR R1... worked flawlessly on a indoor carpet track.

Get a 450 micro-farad electrolytic capacitor (you can get them from Radio Shack. . .easy)

It will have the positive pole marked - just take an old connector and solder that to the positive wire and the negative to the black. Black should be the OUTSIDE pin and the positive should be the middle (I believe. . .double check. . .) but it's exactly the same as when plugging in a BEC or even your personal transponder - that only taps power and your supplying power. . .

Hmm, usually the negative pole on an electrolytic capacitor is marked with a white line and the positive has no markings. Sometimes itīs not a white but silver or gold colour line. But other than that the wires also are different length. The longer one always is the positive.

Guys,

I ran the Spektrum the whole week of the Carpet Nationals and it worked perfrectly with my LRP Q2. I started without the power capacitor and then eventually put it in. However I did not notice any difference once installing the capictor. I installed simply because John Adams(spektrum rep) told me to do so.

Hello Todd,

What are the spec of the cap you are using?

Bye

Not to answer for Todd ...... But John also gave me a cap at the Nats to run in my Spektrum. It's a 4700mF (micro farad) capacitor. Hope that helps.
