Boomer, you're right.
I have created a new thread.
Cheers,

I am curios to know if people have only experienced the "Lag" on the steering input, or if its felt on the throttle too??

With the cap, mine feels fast. Almost too fast, as in I am turning in early everywhere now. Throttle feels instant.

I am going to try mine at the track again friday, but I thought of something else. Anyone who loves this thing are you using a regular or digital servo. Mine isnt digital and I was thinking of using a friends to see that helps

I'm using a 4750. Seems plenty quick now.

pitcrew...
with the jr4750 did you HAVE to use the cap. to get the system to set?

E

YES.

I tried 4750/4735/fut9##something/hiteck 56somethingsomething metal gear- All made the receiver basically turn on and off and the wheels would go back and fourt. Plug in the cap, and it instantly works fine...? Go figure. Even tried unplugging the cap, goes right into waco mode.

If I'm not mistaken Hitec and Futaba run a different shift in their radio systems and maybe their servos are the same.

All this "I had it 3 years ago talk" reminds me of everybody that had a working dyno when we showed ours...lol.

4750... I experienced the same thing last night when I tried to setup my 3xmft.

Just to make sure I tried all of my servos to make sure it wasn't the receiver and all worked fine. Pluged in the cap and all worked well.

Spektrum Service Announcement - February 23, 2005

Attention Spektrum Owners

Spektrum technology is working extremely well for thousands of racers throughout the country. Back orders keep climbing as the product is proving to perform as advertised.

However, in a small number of cases, some racers have experienced issues. We’re sorry for these inconveniences and have addressed everything we’re aware of.

Bind Button
While we tested 100% of the first production run, it turns out that some bind buttons are failing in the field after repeated use. This prevents the system from being bound (programming the receiver to the module and setting of the fail-safe.) If you’re following the correct binding procedure outlined in the instructions, and you’re unable to get the green LED to blink on the DSM receiver or transmitter module, your system probably has a defective bind button. Please return the complete unit to Horizon for service.

Trim Offset
A few racers have reported steering and throttle trim changes, either during operation or when turning the system on/off. We have identified the problem as being related to certain combinations of servos and/or speed controls and have fixed the problem. If your system exhibits any trim offset problem, please return your unit for service.

Delay
On a small number of indoor tracks, some racers tell us they’ve felt a "delay" at times. Again, Spektrum engineers and R&D staff have worked hard to isolate the problem and believe we’ve corrected the situation. If you experience any type of “delay,” please send your unit in for an update.

As our customers know, Horizon will only be satisfied when you’re satisfied. We take pride in bringing DSM technology to the marketplace, and tried our very best to make DSM perfect out of the gate. For most, DSM fulfills the goal. While we may have missed our goal of perfection, we appreciate your input and assistance in improving this technology. You can rest assured that we will adapt to make this product perform up to your expectations.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I heard something....but its a secret...

WTF... I thought posting phrases like that is against the unwritten laws of message boards

So... what'cha know?

Weren't the Spektrums in use tha the Worlds and the ROAR fuel nats this past fall???

That's what I had heard. . .

I thought it was at Cleveland where they had problems. . .

no doubt. that's cheap. just lost 3 points on my respect meter (although he was already up 2 for the pics on his web site).

Nice to see horizon has posted a reply to show everyone that they are working on the problems and if you have problem to send it in. so qiut complaining about yours not working and send it in a get a new one. I personally race with Mr. Adams and I know that he wants nothing more than his product to work flawlessly.
