Eric, I'll pass this on. Out of the 6-8 Micro's I have, each has bound without a problem. Now, there was one unit I loaned to someone to try that wouldn't bind to his module for some weird reason, but it bound to mine without a problem. I'm not saying you're not having an issue; contrary to the point. Knowing you and that you're one to be maticulous about things, I trust what you're saying. Everyone who I would talk to about this though is at iHobby this weekend and I don't know if they're going to be in the office Monday or not. I'll let you know what I can find out for you.

Just out of curiosity...just running thru things in my mind. The receiver that wouldn't bind you said was in your 1/12th scale. Did you try to bind it with either a receiver pack or with a 6-cell instead of a 4 cell? Everything I have used to this point has been with a 6-cell pack or a 2 cell Lipo. I know people have used the SR3500 with 4-cells, so I don't think that's the issue, just trying to eiminate any possibilities. Also, what servos and ESC's are you using. The more info I can pass on the better. Thanks

This week I put the 2nd micro receiver in a 12th scale and it would not go into "bind" mode at all...Tried for 30 minutes. So I took out the new never used standard size Pro receiver and put it in the car. Binded up fine. But as soon as I touch the receiver with my finger it cutts off. You can beat the car shake it turn it upside down but if you touch it or put it on the track and move a few feet it cutts off So I borrowed a new pro receive and put it in and it worked fine. So thats 4 receivers to find 2 good ones!! 400.00 and I got half a system that works.

After talking to several other people Ive found out that out of all the other pro systems that have been sold at my track HALF OF THEM DONT WORK!!! So much for QC at Spektrum!!!
