Thanks Greg.

Hi seano, I just purchased the std futaba set and have been running it in the 3VCS, all seemed purfect for 2 runs untill I got hit when it did the cutting out thing, I'v purchased the spektrum cap. which I am told will cure this. will see how it goes
Geoff :rolleyes:

Cool, thanks for that Geoff. I've been unable to get a straight answer about whether it works in a 3vcs from Horizon. Seems your spektrum is behaving as "normal" so far, hope the cap works out for you. Could you let me know how it goes with the cap fix?

Cheers

Sean

Hey guys,
The capacitator should do the trick. I have been driving around with a Futaba set myself for months now using it and no problems thus far.
Even in major events I have never once had a glitch.
Ciao

Hey Spektrum/Horizon Hobbies..

I want ROYALTIES on the capacitors!!

See page 39 of this thread, or page two, depending on how your setup in here...

:D

Hi Sean
will let you know, but our local club is closed for the holidays :cry: and will open again 1st week of Jan

Just got my Spektrum yesterday...It was on of the newer ones for the M8/M11 and it had the wire routed wrong on the Transmitter Module. I left it as is for the first heat and the car shut down twice after being hit :flaming: . Aggravated, I opened the module again and re routed the wire myself. Worked great after that!!! Instead of leaving things alone that were working properly I figured I would try the M8 mod to integrate the module and antenna into the transmitter. Everything was going great until I went to remove the Spektrum antenna and the wire came out of the small gold connector that goes to the circuit board. I put the wire back in, re crimped it, and put a drop of solder on it to hold it. Put the module back together in the with the antenna on the back and walked out of my toy room to test it. I got about 30 feet away and it stopped responding. Did I screw things up by not leaving well enough alone and "fixing" the antenna wire or is it possible my 2.4ghz wireless network was fouling up the works as I was in a basement? Help!?!? :weird: :confused:

Hey guys, have anyone tried out the new telemetry system for the spektrum yet?

Once the antenna wire broke you were hosed. The wire is not a simple one conductor wire. It is actually a tiny coaxial wire and connector. So crimping and soldering it like you did would not do it and you would be lucky to get 20-30 ft of range. Actually with it likely being shorted I would be suprised if it worked at all.

hey guys

quick question

just got the spektrum for x-mas, when i put it in my radio and car am i going to have to set all my radio settings back to zero and re trim everything
esc???servo???

chris

Put it in and follow the binding directions for the spektrum. You dont have to change any radio settings.

Plug for antenna hole?
 

I remember reading in an RC magazine recently that someone makes an aluminum (I think) screw-in plug for the antenna hole on an m11. I'm planning to install Spektrum in my m11, and was trying to remember who makes these little plugs. Anyone know?

Alternatively, do you guys recommend the installation procedure I've seen where people put the Spektrum antenna in the position of the original antenna. I'm somewhat hesitant to do this, as it probably negatively effects the value of the radio. I'd prefer to have my radio in perfect condition, given the frequency with which I seem to change equipment. I like for my stuff to remain attractive to ebay buyers.

Is there also a procedure for re-routing the Spektrum antenna through a KO Helios?

Thanks.

If I was you, I'd reserve that antenna hole for what Specktrum is relaseing next; the Specktrum Telemetry System. That is what I am doing.......... :sneaky:
