The picture I took was the ENTIRE RECEIVER.

It appears that the new micro receiver uses the same molded case as the telemetry add-on unit, so I am sure people will mistake the new RX for the telemetry TX module. If you notice on the pictures I took, there is an antenna wire coming out of the top right corner of the case that is not on the telemetry module in the picture of the touring car.

In place of the button on the receiver for binding, there is a special "jumper" plug that comes with the receiver that is a Futaba J plug with a wire that runs from the white to the black lead. You have to plug the jumper into your 3rd channel while binding the receiver.

that makes complete sense!!!

Why have a button on top for something that you're only (supposed to be) doing once (or once in a great while). . .the jumper idea is great!! Especially if they provide it, although it should be NOTHING to make. . .

thanks! :D

Does anyone know if the DX3 has exponential and I'm just not finding it?

Scarab :confused:

The jumper comes with the receiver, it was just a servo plug with a little loop of red wire on it.

I thought it was an awesome idea too, because not only should you never have to bind the receiver once it is done correctly, but also you don't have to worry about somebody or something accidentally pressing the button.

The DX3 unfortunatly does not have exponential.

That's a shame... :( I like the button, because I swap between my buggy, truck, and tourer, from week to week, and sometimes during the weekend. A button is just a little more convenient for me... :(

You shouldn't have to rebind just because you're switching cars. Multiple receivers can be bound to the same transmitter module.

They do if you want a different fail safe position :)

Before anybody asks, that is correct, it does not have a setup button on it.

Not that size is much of an issue with 1/10 scale, but do the micro receivers work for 1/10? Are they the same processing speed and all that?
Are the specs similar to their PRO version?

I've got one for you. When working on my car with my transmitter and esc turned on. If I set my radio within six inches of the receiver the receiver goes into failsafe. When I move my radio away the receiver turns back on. Move radio back goes into failsafe. Anyone else have this problem.

Not bashing, I love my Spectrum System.

Can the electric telemetry unit be used with the DX3?

The transmitter module Andrew was using in his EX-10 transmitter appeared to be the SM1001 DSM Pro Series Module with the translucent case. So it should be the same specs as the "Pro" receiver, and it could be used in any scale car, not just mini/micro cars. My guess is that this will probably replace the larger receiver that currently comes with the "Pro" system.
