I just read in the horizon hobby booklet that the older version of the spectrum had problems with lrp speed controls. It needs a software update. But they said all their current stock is the updated ones. So if your's is new I wouldn't think that would be the problem. Hard to say. Plug a reciever pack into the rx and see if that helps is the only suggestion I have. I have a spectrum about a month old or so that worked fine with my QC2.

After reading wiget's post, I opened my tx module as well to check if the antenna wire was also unplugged. I found out that the antenna wire was severed where the antenna rotates. I tried resoldering it but it still wouldn't work after 20 ft

He's listened to our feedback quite a bit and has moved to using "our" controllers rather than making his own (which looked quite cartoonish, imho. . .

transmitter module smoked!
Has anyone else experienced a transmitter module going up in smoke. Literally, my son was waiting for his main to start, car on the track, when his car stopped respondeing and Futaba Spektrum transmitter module started to smoke. Worked fine for months, then this all of a sudden - I kinda expected the receivers to have problems eventually from wear & tear, but a transmitter module? Opened up the case and found the burn mark, looks like a diode of some type smoked.
Still, we love our spektrums, never a glitch. Time to find the sales receipt for a warranty repair.

I am using a JR R1,stockmotor, Q2, and and JR 4750. it bounces all over the place. it works with airtronics and hitec servos which i would have installed in the car but these are not up to par for my car. It would be nice for some help with this would be nice. thanks
