How to setup new Radio?
Hello,
I have an early xmas present, a spektrum dx2 w/ telemetry...now i need some assistance setting it up! I am totally new...and im wondering where do i start?
I see the servo, receiver, esc, and the motor... but im not really sure where to begin to setup the new radio?
I looked on youtube.com trying to find a "how to" video with no luck...was hoping i could get some advice here!

First off you will need to get into your reciever box. You will find this usually by where your antena is sticking up. Just unplug your servos and battery switch put your new reciever in and plug everything in the right spots. It is pretty easy. Then after that you will want to bind your radio to your reciever. If you dont have the instructions of how to do this it is usually very simple and there are detailed instructions that have and exploded view that you can google. Then after you do that you will want to get in and set all of your end points. If you have a lhs around (local hobby shop) then I would recomend that you take it there and they will show you just how to set it up and get your end points set to where you dont burn up your servos.
Hope this helps you a little.

Radio.
I found the best way to learn was to ask an experienced racer to show me in person. (It's what I did) The books don't always explain things very well. I read the manual several times but didn't get the meanings of some things like steering expo until it was explained to me. Read the manual first then ask about the things you dont understand. There is actually quite a lot to understand if you want to get the best from your radio/car.

Servos pretty well never come with servo savers. They are usually a part of your car or are purchased separately. You will probably get a dozen blokes tell you a doz different servos are all the best. I have tried quite a few different servos and I now use Futaba 9550/9551. The 9551 is the later model. I use them in everything from a M03 mini to my 1/8 nitro buggy. They are very small (so they fit any car/buggy) they have very good power and are fairly quick. Most of all I have never stuffed one and they are great value for $.
