I will be calling Spektrum directly. I believe I've gotten a bad transmitter. My buddy came over tonight and his bound. We compared. Exact same transmitter and updated version 1.03. His transmitter bound to every receiver. DSM DSM2 DSMR. Mine didn't bind to any.

So my wife got me the Atomic case for my DX4R after seeing that it fits the DX4S and thinking this would work. The case isn't wide enough.

So what other cases, not the spektrum hard case, are out there that fit?

Protek. http://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-cars-...k-8160/p228958

DX4R insert http://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-cars-...k-8178/p274095

I have this and it fits perfect. There is a cutout in this case that you just pull out and your radio slides in

Why not the Spektrum one??

Mainly price but also looking for something smaller that I can fit in my pitbag.

I just picked up the Spektrum case and I'm less than impressed. After one day of use, the finish is already scratched and I see a few dents.

Has anyone had any problems with the SR2000 losing power? Tonight, I had the receiver shut down numerous times. The ESC is still on but the orange light on the receiver is off, etc. When I power down the ESC and turn it on again, the ESC starts working. New cable cable between the ESC and RX didn't help either. Any ideas?

SR2000 is really for 1/12 and smaller RC. It sucks juice hard core and when power hungry servos pull juice they conflict.

Should be okay on 10th even 8th scale if you use LiPo or life in your rig to power the servos and or add a Glitch Buster. But really tho SR2000 on bigger than 1/12 IMO is a lil risky.

It's in a 1/10 buggy. I hadn't had any issues the last few practice days. The problems just started tonight.

The SR2000 is known to be power hungry and give connection issues if the electronics have too much demand on the battery pack as its charge goes down.

Might of been lower charge on the battery tonight vs when you were practicing? Usually connection issues occure after 20 to 30min the RC being on while fine at first with full batteries. See if it occurs only with lower voltage on the batteries vs a freshly charged battery

Do you have a different RX so next time it occurs swap and see if its the RX and nothing else.

Do you have a transponder connected, and if so, does it continue to operate? If so, the receiver probably has power, and the lack of a light could indicate a loss of connection to the radio. Have you attempted to re-bind the receiver yet?

Nope. No transponder. I tried another, freshly charged pack so that wasn't it. I will try rebinding though. I'll try some fresh batteries in the DX4R too.

im sure its in this thread some where but i thought i would ask if anyone has used the track control or anti lok bake options in say nitro bug/trug. this is my first pro level radio with these options. i have been racing for 3 years and was wondering how many people use these

I'm not a Racer but in my Savages I use ABS to keep the truck from flipping over locking up. Traction control tho I've not messed with yet.

The ABS hits then throbbs. Not sure if good for Racing. I thought y'all set up ever so slightly drag brakes, no ABS or TC.

I had the RX shutting down issue as well. Installed in a Tamiya mini. It'd shut down if I clipped th boards. I Imagine the servo must draw a huge spike when that happens. Added a glitch buster. See how it goes on Sunday.

Another weird thing with the SR2000 is I can't get it to stay at a 5.5ms frame rate. Each time I turn the radio off, then on again, it's back at 11ms. I'm using a digital servo and rebid when switching rates. Any ideas?

UPDATE:

I tried a different receiver just now, an SR3250, capable of 5.5ms frame rate, just like the SR2000. Here's what happens.

Turn on radio, then car.
go into "settings -> frame rate"
select 5.5ms
follow instructions to rebind after changing frame rate.
on the "settings -> bind" screen, at the bottom 11ms is displayed for the SR2000, 16.5ms is displayed for the SR3250.
I go ahead with the bind procedure, as instructed

Once complete, I turn off the car, then the radio, remove the bind plug from the receiver.
When the radio is restarted, followed by the car, in both cases "settings-> frame rate" displays 11ms again.

Very odd. Maybe I'll try not rebinding?
