EEEEK! Problem....

[Sylvester]

Leroy, re-bind your receiver, than try again. Isnt the transmitter called a "tx" ? And the receiver "rx"? Kinda confused...

Anyway i did some testing today, i took off the pinion and sat the truck on my backyard porch, turned on the tx and than the esc. Everything was fine, no sudden reverse (like you have, right leroy?) and i started to walk further away from the truck, everything was fine, i hear the motor responding to me as i moved my finger on the accelerator (throttle). Also tried the steering, works fine as well.

Do you think this is a ok way to test it, i am still a little scared to put the pinion back on, but ill have to sooner or later.

Also, i have found out that if i put the UBEC into the "AUX" slot in the receiver, it works, same if i put it in the "BATT" slot. Does it really matter?

Cabking, just read your post, i got a switch with my spektrum, did you use that one? Ill try it out if i have to! Thanks!

yup I used that one, to use the rear switch mount on the g2r takes a bit of work with the dremmel though, its a tad big.

edit, remember to fit it with the 'on' towards the front, that way it wont turn its self off after that heavy front end landing :032:

It is a bit big, thanks, ill keep that in mind. Now if you dont excuse me i got a switch to mount! :)

So you say to put a switch on the ubec and plug up the batts then turn the switch on and it works great. I will have to try that.

I did notice it don't do it with the schulze. I did have to adjust the center of the throttle to reverse a smidge. It wouldn't beep if not.

Well, when my spektrum was with my 14 cell setup a.k.a when it worked, i had glitch free runnning, even if i was over power lines, i couldnt see the truck for a moment of running, thats how far the dx3 can take you, it also has lots of useful features!

Yeah I cant explain why.!! the Spektrum does have that boot up delay when it finds a channel, though maybe all this is too much for the BK all at once.
Its seems to like being on first..............

or it did, until I had a schoolboy moment and fried it last week :036:
totally unrelated to the Spektrum though.

[Sylvester]

You fried your controller? How? That sucks.

nice to know you mostly have your problem solved. just to be on the safe and damage-free side do some more testing. then we go back to general bashing.:)

[Sylvester]

Thanks Brian! I had it connected in BAT the whole time. As for the capacitor, i found one thats perfect for somthing like the DX3... http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...ProdID=SPM1600 Or would somthing different be needed?

You could use a capacitor like that for the receiver. All it would do is act like a buffer to whatever BEC you are using. If you're using a UBEC, it shouldn't be necessary and probably wouldn't help (much).
