spektrum failsafe setup.
So, after buying an aftermarket failsafe and setting it up on my baja 5b, It wouldn't engage the failsafe. After 2 hours of changing rx's and reprogramming over and over again, I finally figured out that it was the spektrum rx failsafe that was interfering with aftermarket failsafe programming. I thought I would post this to educate others just in case you have a spektrum tx and rx and you would like to set a failsafe without wasting money like I did. Not sure if this is true for the first dsm rx released but I know it to be true with dsm2 and dsmr rx's as I have both and have verified it.
Depending on which spektrum tx you have, you will either have a bind button or bind menu selection. For an easier explanation, I will use the dx2e as an example.
This is actually quite simple.
1. Put the bind plug in the rx and turn the model on.
2. While holding the bind button on the dx2e, switch the tx on and immediately hold the trigger at the desired brake position until it's finished binding. Power off and remove bind plug.
3. Set the model on an rc pit stand or have a friend hold the model in the air and switch tx on, then model on. While holding steady throttle turn the tx off and if programmed correctly the model will apply the amount of brakes you designated in step 2.
Hopefully this helps people. Have a good day!
