Ay yi yi...

I just "reversed" the battery polarity and it bound. Idiot behind the wheel syndrome.

However...in my defense...the Spektrum polarity is reversed to any other receivers I own. On my JRs and Novaks, when you hold the receiver such that you are reading the marks (ch1, ch2, ch3, batt) the black wire is always to the right. On the Spektrum if I hold it so I can read the marks (B,S,T,A) the black wire is, apparently, on the left.

Do I need to plug the servos in "backward" as well? Meaning instead of the normal L-R order (when receiver is held so I can read the markings) of signal-pos-neg I will turn it around so the L-R order neg-pos-signal?

Many many thanks Gary. You're absolutely correct...it seemed like WAY too much of a coincidence. Maybe if you have a minute call the techs in service, tell them I'm a moron and ask them to send the receivers back? They have me as Scott Smith on a 59108 zip.
