I tried it today, and it was ok to start, but as the run went on it starts to stutter under power. I think it's a BEC volt drop problem - but not really sure what i can do about it, apart from run a rx pack. I tried a small capacitor on the BEC circuit (470uF), no difference.
I'm running it with a 302 RX and 2413 servo.

you can try setting the bec voltage to minimum since the 302 receiver supports this (you should have it this way anyway when using 302 rx)

I have run with 4 cell - as i run it 12th scale as well!! Although i always run a RX pack with 4 cell.
I thought about the BEC setting, and am 99% sure it was set to 2.3V. I say 99% as i was using hand programmer, where as i'm more familiar with the PC software but didn't have a PC lead with me.

I have to send in a vfs1. Whats the best way to ship it? Padded envelope? Also how do I pay for the charges to repair it? Do they bill you after?

Anybody know who has got the KO ICS USB adapter in stock.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey guys. I've been playing with different profiles for my Twister 2.2's and have a couple of questions that I couldn't find a direct answer for when searching this thread. Any help would be appreciated.
1. I have the PC interface and after I put all of my profiles into the program as different tabs (data files) I can't save it and reopen it with them being there. It will only save it as a k?? file that can't be opened with anything I have. What am I doing wrong? I hate having to redo a profile every time I want to change the esc.
2. It has been said on here in several places that the power save should be a minimum 3.5 when using Spektrum. The stock Hara profile is 2.5 and I haven't had any trouble using that. Am I missing something...or just been lucky? 'Cause I'm usually not lucky.
Thanks,
Mark Stetler

OK I've done that and it saves it as a ??????KPD file type and won't let me pick any other type of file. Then when I open that up it is a microsoft sheet similar to excel. I thought I would be able to put several profiles in on different tabs and then save it. That way when I wanted a different profile I would just have to hook up the ESC and download the chosen one out of the program. The way it is working all I'm saving is a copy of the numbers in a list, but they would have to be put back into the program manually before I could download it to the ESC. Does that make sense? I hope I'm explaining it well enough for someone to see what I might be doing wrong. Up to that point everything could not have worked any better. No problems whatsoever putting profiles in and sending them to the ESC. Just lose it all when I'm done.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You will have to load your saved profiles into the program before you send it to the esc. I don't think there is anyway around that.

Thanks rcnewb2004
I guess i don't see the point in creating multiple tabs with profiles in the program itself if they are not going to be there when I open it back up. It's like starting over every time. This can't be right. Why do they have a comments area for each profile if it just saves it a spreadsheet without that information.

Maybe when you are saving your created tabs you are not selecting "Save All"??
As for the power save, you are probably lucky. This is the voltage at the battery pack before the BEC is activated. So if you are using higher capacity batters (ie 4200) you are probably not getting the voltage down far enough during your run.
