Sorry Guys, I should have said that it's a nitro car. I'm not sure that it is a bind issue. They seem to be fine while I'm running, it's just after I get home, I get no response from the car, so I try to re-bind and just get the fast flash.
I have done nothing but put it in the bag bring it home and I've run into this three times now. I'm thinking I want another brand of radio!
I was thinking that maybe the high volt servo's are drawing to much current for the rx (even tho it's rated at 9.6 volts, I'm not sure about amps)and that the Spectrum Voltage Protector might help. For the price I think it's worth a try.
Amain said if this one fails, I have to deal with Horizon. I don't want to wait for them to deal with this.
I've spent soooo much money already, I know it's the nature of the hobby, but I can't spend for another radio for a while.
Doesn't sound like anyone else has had similar problems. I thought I saw a post about Spectrum rx and Savox servos pulling to much power. The funny thing is that the last time it happened I was using a Hi-tech servo for steering. I don't see any brown out problems, they work fine when I'm running that day.
I'm really at a loss about what to try next!
Thanks
Brian
