<div>My radio arrived so this afternoon I played with it. I opened up the TX to install a compatible battery connector a standard Futaba female connector. Plugged in the life battery and both LEDs lit. Next I plugged in the servo, the binding plug and then I screwed up big time. The TX manual does have the RX specs. I smoked the RX. The LED no longer lights and it has a distink smoked smell now, oh well live and learn.</div><div></div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">I have found the RX separately on the HK web site and that does have the specs. Turns out the RX is only rated to 6V and the life battery is 6.6v.</div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">So I will now add this UBEC in front of the battery, even more critical as I will be using a LIPO battery 7.4v</div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html</div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in"></div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in">So a new RX and UBEC are on order.</div><div style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in"></div><div>In the mean time I am figuring out how to mount the TX to the handle. I will have to modify the throttle trigger some. This is a car TX so the trigger is spring loaded to have a rest position with travel against the spring in both directions ( for reverse?) I did not think about that.</div><div></div><div>I also failed to realize I need a holed drilled through the length of the handle for the battery wires. That is an easy fix.</div><div></div><span style="text-indent: -0.5in;">Ken</span>
