Thought it could be a Spektrum issue; but, my Airtronics 94357 is shot after only a few runs without a servo saver on my JRX-S.

Sounds like the KO 2343 Digital Servo with a servo saver is the way to go.

Thanks.

I've been running a 357 for a long time - WITH a servo saver.

Running a servo WITH a saver = good, whether it be a 357 or a KO

Running a servo WITHOUT saver = well, yas takes yas chances. . .

BTW - KO's do draw more power from the BEC. . .

Well, I went out and got the KO2343 servo today.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be compatible with my QC2. The light on the Spektrum receiver is continually going on and off with the other two together. None of my old servos cause that issue.

Help!

I've been running the Spektrum since the Nats in March. John Adams from Spektrum was at the Nats and reprogramed my older Spektrum unit. Since then, I have had NO problems. The system operates faster than any commercially available radio. It was the glitch in the earlier units that caused the slow response, whereas a newer or reprogramed unit will indeed operate faster than anything it's plugged in to.

I've had it at numerous big races, carpet and asphalt, it works, period.

Naysayers can wait in line for their frequency clips. I'll already be out there practicing.

Happy r/c-ing!

You need to use the capacitor in the receiver trick to get the 2343 to work with an LRP ESC, the BEC in the LRP's is pretty weak.

Good, you always needed the extra practice remember back in the day when Etown would keep the same layout for half the season? I could drive those tracks blindfolded

I know I saw it somewhere here before. Anyone know the connections for the cap?

Hell I have 5 receivers on one module. It is no different then havin 5 regular receivers on on one radio. I don't really understand the question or thinking on this issue.

Hey Brett..... n00b

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, you obviously like your system if your after another receiver. Great to see hardly any posts with people having problems now
