The good and the bad.
The good part is Horizon will give me a new Rx in about a week.
The bad part is that I never hear what actually happened. Most of the time it doesn't matter as long as you get a new product, but in this case I want to know so I can make a judgement call on using the soft switch in the future. I think SEANREIT understands my concern with his comments. Maybe the switch just opened a circuit inside the unit where the actual problem is. If the switch is not the problem, then I would like to use it.
the switch just makes a sort of shortcut where it forces the electronics to shutdown
like sean said Normally open
i just really believe you had a faulty unit to begin with.
even if you would have plugged the batt from the other side the same thing could have happened.
it is just a lot of people make warnings here and others then create a hype not to use them anymore.
not blaming you , but normally first call the distributor they will test it right away i am sure.
horizon will be the last to sell a defective unit and cuase many people to crash.
i am selling and using this spektrum stuff from the beginning they came on the market.
and never had such a great system to begin with.
if you could here all the noncence overhere , customers where even told if you fly behind each other the other model would not receive signals.
the customer agreed and they sold him one of the many obsulete 6 channel 35mhz trannie... marketing.
after one year they now claim 2,4 is the best , go figure
and i am not even a direct seller for spektrum in the netherlands
.
they leave that to a belgium company who doesnt know to much exept how to calculate a profit first...
i always had to risk my stuff to proof it is a good system.
