I got a gen 2 receiver in my slash that works flawlessly with the gen 2 module. I can bind the gen 3 to gen 3 and gen 2 to gen 2 just fine, but can't get the gen 2 receiver to bind to the gen 3 module. I power the receiver with the bind plug in ch3, the LED flashes slowly. I turn on the TX while holding the button, the internal LED (only visible if you open the casing) starts flashing slowly too.. and they continue to flash forever. The gen 3 RX will flash quickly when I bind, then bind within 2 secs and turn on the light permanently.

Any ideas there? I tried every combination of turning on and pressing buttons etc.

yeah, they don't bind with each other.

glad you found that out before you bought it lol

Meh, you'd think the shop would post the correct information (considering that same infomation has been on the page for months).

Sounds to me like a wire shorted against something or the power wires were mixed up.

Status: offline 		Guys, I switched to the Turnigy transmitter 1450mAh lipo MONTHS ago after I saw how quickly the Eurgle 2.4GHz 3-Channel Pistol-Grip Tx goes through alkaline AA's. There was quite a discussion about this about 1/3 of the way into this thread when many of us realized how quickly the Tx went thru AA's, either alkaline or lipo rechargeables!

I charge this lipo on a Hextronic 8080 balance/charger that I also got from HobbyKing that when I'm using it at home, I use the cigarette lighter outlet on my car jumper battery and air pump - neat little machine - I plug that jumper starter's own charger into the AC and then plug myHextronic lipo balance/charger into the cigarette lighter outlet (at http://hobbycity.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2055), for $24.95 this is REALLY a neat little lipo balance/charger - it lets me charge two (2) 7.4v Lipo's at a time, but only 1 11.1v at a time. However, it does have a rate setting switch and a cooling fan and does a good job of charging ALL my lipos. I personally don't like these little expansion boards with more charging/balancing sockets - too many unknows where I DON'T want to take chances with expensive (or cheap) lipos, let alone whether the charger can handle distributing all thta juice.

HAS ANYBODY HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE EXPANSION BOARDS?

One of the things that I did do to avoid problems when pulling the transmitter lipo out of the Tx was to put in an inline on/off switch so you turn the battery off before you take it out of the Tx to charge it. This prevents a LOT of related problems to the very weak little power wires coming out of the Eurgle 2.4 Tx AFTER you take out the battery tray and cut the wires as close as possible to where they were soldered onto the tray. You've got plenty of room to tuck all this stuff into the handle! Give it a try with a $3 on/off switch!

Good Boating, Everyone!

Status: offline 		pretty much anything that creates an electronical barrier between the battery and the circuit. uBECs are a common one, or a generic power regulator. cap the higher voltage down to a lower voltage so the device see's a constant voltage, instead of a diminishing one.  but that turnigy should have been fine, its what 11.1V and the tx should be fine for 14V or so (alkaline x 8)

How would I go about modding the 3rd channel from on/off to being able to control a servo?

Status: offline 		Just thought I'd update my situation. I picked up my transmitter from the local electrician and the guy told me that the leads from the CB to the battery tray were reversed. I'd soldered the correct wires to the battery terminal. I was just unlucky with the unit I got. I can take pics if anyone is interested.

Status: offline 		I have now gotten a bit boored with my Eurgle after trying out a friends DSM Dx3r, so I needed to do something drastic.
First thing that came to mind was to re-paint it and so i did. But after I took it apart I started wonder...why not redo the whole wheelhouse to a smaller one since I do not use any of the functions included nor the angle-functions.
So first...I repainted it


Then I removed the steering-house and started to grind and ended up with this left


Then after putting it together again I needed to do something about the electronics as well but it went fine
This is the end-result with my Eurgle 2.0



This is a picture compared to stock


Now I´m ready to get out on the road again


It feels much more balanced and all the functions removed can be found in the menu anyway. I like it much better now.
What do you think

Status: offline 		i agree, looks sweet. and it gave me a similar idea of using longer screws to remove the whole tilt wheel aspect. i would just like 2 trims for throttle and steering, and 2 buttons for ABS and dual rate at fingers reach.  though lately its gotten more use in RRG2 than my rc car! and before someone says something about how i shouldnt need to adjust the steering trim that often, if it aint broke, you aint pushed it hard enough. nuff said!

Status: offline 		Great job - it's obvious why you chose the colors that you did when you see the picture of the Tx with the boat and truck! Matching, but I'm using mine with a ton of boats of different colors, however a bunch of my micro/mini fast electrics carry the same color scheme: black hull with yellow hatch/top (similar to the white-only Velocity series at minicatracingusa.com but you can get $100 cheaper with free shipping at bidproduct.com and these can truly fly, and take a look at R2Hobbies.com also).

This transmitter and cheap additional Rx's are great. Because three of the above-mentioned mini-boats (deep-V, catamaran, etc.) operate with EXACTLY the same settings because they have the same motor, ESC, etc., I only have to use one (1) model in memory to run all three!

I'm also looking at the Traxxas 2.4GHz radio with Link - it AUTOMATICALLY recognizes the boat that's turned on and uses those settings so that you don't have to select a model. However, it's a bit awkward with it's programming tree with no LCD and combinations of buttons to get to what you want to program. It's also not as inexpensive as the Eurgle (additional Rx alone are almost $35 - $40) - I don't know if that literally one (1) extra feature is worth it - but I'm going to try it because I have a ton of Traxxas nitro cars & trucks, electric and nitro boats (as well as ProBOat and AquaCraft). I'll be sure to let you know! I've got to go look if there's a thread yet for this - that's how new it is.

I'm also looking at Traxxas' new brushless boat - the Titan - take a look - Traxxas always seems to combine quality, high-tech engineering, etc. If you go up to 6S LiPo batteries, this sucker can go 50 - 60mph without ANY OTHER MODIFICATIONS and it has the 2.4GHz radio system and NiMH batteries that come with it (not the 6S lipos - which cost about $150 bucks each even a HobbyKing but they do have 6S's available at around $60 = much more reasonable)

As I have both of them, I can say they are not the same hardware-wise. The new Eurgle TX (rebranded FLYSKY GT3B, just the same as the previous was to GT3) is in few ways inferior. It might seem more advanced - but it's just prettier

As just about everything comes to personal taste, I wouldn't say anything bad about it, the looks were the selling point for me too. But as I got to try it out, I missed some of the programmability the "GT3" had and this didn't (or had implemented in another way). Like double rate - it has a two-way dial button that lets you adjust DR on the fly, you can't set it on preprogrammed rate - in some ways very welcome but also very finicky and doesn't suit for racing conditions. Also 3rd ch button isn't toggle button in a way that you cannot tell if it's on or off. Throttle trigger is positioned in about 70/30 position but I don't know if it gives more throttle resolution. It should, but at the same time it makes a controlled brake very hard to master. And you cannot program the buttons to your liking. And steering trim is quite limited - if your servo isn't quite centered beforehand, chances are that you don't get to drive straight into the sunset

All things considered, I still like it and don't regret the money spent..

Glad I could help a little.

I myself am in need of guidance as well, as I haven't been able to locate a definitive answer to whether I could use a kill switch with these receivers.

I sent a question to KillerRC, but they just ignored me. English community has only information, that the killer bee V1 doesn't work with the 2nd gen RX's (without the failsafe) - the RX doesn't detect loss of signal. What interests me more, is if I could use the V2 or V2S with the "3rd gen" with failsafe, as I want to use the 3rd channel for switching the lights.

Wouldn't want to buy the switch on gamble, they cost more than the radio..

Anyone tried to get it to work? Or any other brand of remote kill switch on other than 3rd channel for that matter..?
