Hi All
I was doing some setup and testing on bench last night and when I went back today i recieved no response from motor though othe servos work fine swapped a diff reciever in and all was well
my ? is what did i do to fry reciever??
can you put too much voltage on a reciever
it is a gws mini reciever batt was a 3 cell kokam lipo2000 mah 15c rating
also can some one give me charging settings for a triton charger and this batt
currently 1.7 a 11.1 volt

Did you plug the battery directly into the Rx or did you plug the battery into the ESC and the ESC was plugged into the Rx?

One thing to keep in mind is that you didn't necessarily do anything wrong/bad/stupid to damage the receiver. Shtuff happens... If you can't find an obvious reason, and the replacement works okay, there's really no other explanation.

Charger settings:

1. LiPoly program.
2. Voltage = 11.1V, because the pack is a 3-cell.
3. Current = up to 2 Amps, because the pack is a 2000mAh pack

Well I talked to GWS and they said 7.2 is max voltage for the reciever
I have asked them how then does this reciever find its way into a flight pack that comes with a 9.6 volt batt in it
no reply yet
i purchased another one and dont want to fry it as well
need help or suggestions
TIA

That's odd, becuase I was using an 11.1 lipo with my plane the other day, which is using a GWS 4CH receiver, and it worked just fine.

The ESC regulates the voltage to the receiver and servos to 5V. Only the motor gets the full 11.1V, or whatever your pack is rated at. If you tried to somehow plug the battery directly into the receiver, you would definitely have "problems".
