Electric problem
 

Hi
I have had my son's car setup in garage for over a year lipo and all. Came to set it up and when I connect battery the steering servo will work but the throttle won't.
I have balance charged lipo and says full although only took around 30 mins to charge.
I plugged the Speedo into the steering plug on rx and when moved wheel on tx the motor worked. Any ideas what this could be?

if you put steering servo into throttle port on RX does servo work if so its not a TX fault as you have tried it other way round
what tx is it ? I made a mistake with a code/etronix tx where I caught toggle switch which didabled throttle stick

regards dave

Thanks for your reply Dave. I have tried the servo in throttle and does not work. Looks like it's the receiver then. I thought either that or the lipo.

Is it 2.4 TX & RX? Have you tried to re bind them if they are and see if it works then you might have to go through a full setup of the esc too

Yes it's spektrum 2 4 . I have re done the Speedo and re bonded.
Thanks for reply.

Do you have a spare rx to try I have loads of spekky rxs but not latest dsm2 or dsmx
can you borrow one to try?

Which model tx are you using
cheers dave

speedo
 

more than likely the transmitter 0 point for the speedo has been changed, this means the speedo wont bind until it sees the neutral position. try moing the trim and it should bind

Forgive me if this isn't news..

Some speedos require the channel to be reversed (depending on the radio manufacturer) to work correctly?
