The antenna thing was for the receivers, not the module. So it was not radio specific.

You need to re-bind it to set the failsafe at neutral or towards "brake". It won't run away if it's set right...it'll just sit there and wait for you to turn on the transmitter.

Spektrum kicks ass. :D

I have the fail safe correct now.

If Spectrum works the way it is suppose to. You can turn on the car then the radio. The receiver should not do anything until a bound transmitter signal is received.

Any receivers that have been shipped within the last 90 days or so all have the new software. I'm not sure if the dots mean anything.

RC Razer, the Spektrum Z590 uses a 23 Tooth spline, same as JR.

While if you set the failsafe up correctly you technically "can" turn the car on first, then the radio, it's stil reccomended to turn the radio on just in case the failsafe isn't set correctly.

Thanks RCGaryK..

The led will not tell if you have the latest software...there are no indication on the recvr that will tell you if your recvr has the latest software.

Reason why i know this because I sent out an email to Spektrum Product Support and here is the copy of the email..

"The Spektrum receivers had a firmware update from the early production for the line and this was to resolve minor static issues. We have no way to distinguish the older receivers from the new. However, this was not a problem with the DX3 or DX2 transmitters themselves. "

Right, any ESD issues had nothing to do with the transmitters or the modules, it was in the receivers themselves which the new firmware fixes. I know I've been running the new software since before the Novak Race without one issue, on or off road, nitro or electric.

Has anyone worked with the new micro receiver SR3500? I noticed on the Spektrum web site, this receiver does not work with the telemetry section, but it has all the other features. Can anyone confirm this. I'm looking to get DSM but I'm waiting on the pro and size, which this SR3500 looks like the ticket, if it has telemetry....

Below is cut and pasted from the Spektrum web site: (http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...ProdID=SPM1210)

"Think of it. All the no-pins, no-crystals, no-glitches, no-interference convenience and security of Spektrum's DSM 2.4GHz technology in a smaller package. Fact is, except for not featuring a telemetry section, its performance and circuitry are identical to that of our regular, race-proven SR3000 receiver. Plus the lowest latency, equal to that of the new Pro Series receivers."

I have one waiting for me that I ordered at the store. My understanding is that it does not do telemetry. In fact I think it might be the same case the telemetry module uses (very small). I'll try to post a review once I try it out. Does anyone know if it is the speed of the pro module? Also can I use a a non-HRS pro module in my 3pk since the micro module doesnt support HRS either. What do I lose?

i've used the new small receiver for several weeks and it doesn't support telemetry as i understand. As for comparison to the Pro again it is very similar. The case does appear to be the same as the telemetry nice and small ;) Binding with the loop is not a hassle as i had originally thought it might.

Can you post a picture of your car with the small receiver installed?

I've also run the Micro receiver and it works very well. It is true that it is not compatible with the telemetry system. The bind plug works perfectly, exactly like on the AR6000 receiver for the DX6. It also features the same improved latency as the new Pro Series equipment as well. If you liked the original system and aren't going to use telemetry, you'll love the SR3500!

The telemetry module is junk anyway so that shouldnt be a problem for anyone. Is there a non-HRS pro system I can run in the 3pk? What would I lose by running that setup (since the micro receiver doesnt work with the new HRS system)?

Hey Ron,
Is there something else you need to buy to bind the new 3500 reciever to the module????

I am getting the Pro system tomorrow and the new micro receivers as well,
I just don't want to get it and then have to wait another week to get the binding loop????

Please let me know,
Thanks Bro,

That's the Pro Series Module and Receiver for the 3PK.

Shookie, the SR3500 comes with the bind plug you need. There's nothing else you need to buy to make it work with your module. By going with the Pro system instead of the HRS, you'll just have a slightly higher latency is all. And neither the HRS nor the SR3500 do telemetry, so that's a moot point there
