None of those radios are being discussed in this thread. If you look through the forum, you'll find other threads about the radios you are inquiring about.

Just got one yesterday. So far I like it. I was out running it today and for some reason right in the middle of my run I must have hit a button or something because it started to change my throttle trim. Real weird. I turned the radio off and on again and no more problems. As I am new to this new technology it would be great of there was a write up somewhere about best ways to set up a radio such as this based on use and driving style. If there are and I just can't find it let me know where it is so I can read up and use this puppy to it's full potential!!!

I just got this yesterday and finally installed it. I am having problems with the radio. I power on the radio and set the EPA, Trim and ABS. Everything works fine until I turn of the radio and turn it back on. All settings default back to factory settings. It is getting annoying[>:]. I plan on calling technical support or returning it for an exchange. Unfortunately it was the only one at the LHS. Maybe I should try the Nomadio React.

Has anyone else have this problem?

I figured out what the deal was with the throttle going wonky on me. The DS2 switch is really sensitive. It's not like the other ones where when you hit the button it clicks. When you touch it it sticks and goes haywire. Are any others sensitive like this?

@ hurykane
Make sure that you set up a model and name it in the radio. Make all the setting in that model, and it should all be saved. Just read through your manual and follow what it says.

LHS swapped out the radio no problem.

My Feedback: (1)

I'm looking at picking up this same system. I'm currently building a Losi MF2 Stadium Truck and have a Losi AD2 Nitro Stadium Truck on it's way. This appears to be the better system when compared with Spektrum. My question is what servo's are you guys using with 1/10th scale stadium trucks with this controller? I would like to order mine in the next couple of days.

Can I charge 2500 mAH NiMH AA batteries with a peak charger through the radio's charger jack? Or is there some kind of circuitry or diode or something in the radio that would prevent this? I would be using the ICE Charger set at 0.3 Amp.

If it is possible to go through the radio's recharging jack is it still safer to just remove the battery tray from the radio and just charge the batteries in that tray through the tray's connector?

As for Servos I was thinking of getting something digital, but a guy at my local track as some Airtronics 94357 servos he wants to unload for a good price so I might just look at trying those out instead. 94357 is not digital so they don't really take advantage of the capabilities of our radio systems, but sometimes it can be hard to pass up a quality servo at a good price.

I used to have the antenna sticking up out of the truck. Well after racing a heat out at the track I discovered few inches of antenna tube didn't survive the run ... fortunately the antenna wire appeared to be all in one piece. So, here's a picture showing how I have the antenna protected under the shell.

May I ask what brand of batteries(Venom, Duratrax), type (NiCD or NiMh) and what milliamps (1000MaH - 2600MaH) everyone recommends for the R603FF receiver?

I had two expensive crashes with my car because I used AA batteries. Futaba support told me that I needed the NiCD batteries for the receiver due to its high discharge capability. So trying to do the right thing, I checked TowerHobbies and found the Futaba brand NiCD for the R603FF. This battery is rated at 50Mah.

I would imagine 4 AA would have more power than 50Mah. So now I am totally confused on what the deal is with the receiver.

Anyone's suggestion and help will be truly appreciated.

chrobar

Yeah..don't get that pack. 50mah is waaaay to low..it'll last like a tank or two.
I run a home made receiver pack with 5 2600 mah AAs, and it works great. They're NiMh, and I haven't had any problems.
I'm pretty sure any receiver pack you find will work fine.

TheVIP

Thanks chrobar for the update on real world experience of this receiver. I'll go out and get a spare NiMh battery instead of the Futaba NiCD.

I have a problem with my futaba 3pm and need some help. When I turn the radio on, the green light on the back automatically blinks and my failsafe will not work.

Any ideas?

TheVIP

KpS, I would say your using the R603ff receiver. I may have had this issue when I tried to do the mating of the 2 receiver to the transmitter. Try to re-match the an see if the works.

Can TT01D running on Hot Bodies S46 motor & Futaba 330CR ESC take this? Do I need to change the servo?
