Hi,

A little help on a Spektrum problem.

Setup is an original module in a modded KO Vantage, and a Micro receiver. Radio is Hara Twister ESC, Futaba 9550 servo in a TOP Scythe Chassis.

The receiver has been cutting out (into failsafe mode I assume) intermittently. It seems to be connected with high-drain periods, ie full power from a standstill.

I have rebound the system with no effect.

HOWEVER - unplugging the AMB personal transponder seemed to stop the problem (for the 5 or so minutes I was testing on the bench). I have now replugged it and it still seems OK after a few more minutes bench testing.

So, question is...

1) Anyone had any known problems with the AMB PT?

2) Could a poor connection in the AMB plug cause problems in the receiver?

3) Would the Spektrum Cap be a good precaution in this case (I thought the Micro receiver would not need one?)

Thanks for any help.
