Default losi synthesized rx/tx and mamba sidewinder

I tried to use my losi tx/rx with my mamba and it just dosnt work. It either dosnt respond or the range is just really bad. Has anyone used them together and if so how did it work out?

The Xcelorin system has a setting for FM/AM legacy non DSM radios. Does the Mamba have that?

I have that setup except its the old mamba 25 with a 6800. It works fine on mine but I recently switched over to a traxxas tq3 radio and the same reciever. I just like the way the traxxas feels and handles. try reversing your throttle on the transmitter to make sure that isnt the problem.

Yeah I changed the batteries but thats when it only got a couple feet away and took off or just stopped. The mambas work perfect with my Traxxas rx/tx and Futaba 3pm 2.4ghz but I only have 2 rx's for it and I wanted to use them for my 1/8th's.

This sucks I have 3 losi tx/rx and they just sit there.

I would use my heli DX6 radio with its RX. I've never been good at using this pistol type radio. It confuses me sometimes interms of direction; I don't know how poeple use so. With the extra channel and a radio relay switch, I'll put head-light, indicator, fog lamp all.
