I made a charge adapter for my spektrum radio (pics)

All I had to do is switch the two power wires around and it works like a charm.

Yes but are you charging the battery pack in the radio, or are you removing the pack and charging it seperately? That is where the problem is. The charging port is wired reverse from regular hookups. From what I understand the plug that goes into the radio is reversed from the normal plug. Normally the plug is + in the center of the plug, where as this port is - in the center of the plug (only for the Spectrum DX3R radio), which is what we are working with here.

I did what I said above to find to polarity in the jack adapter I made. My spektrum manual actually showed me the polarity of the charge jack in the remote. (I am charging the batts in the radio, see pic)
