ORIGINAL: GizmoMadMax 9 Channel Receiver power issue possibly???
Educate me here.... I just finailized my 30% Gasser with a Smart-fly power Exander Pro and TWO 5-ccll NiMh 6.0v packs... But get this, when I powered the system, I got absolutely nothing from the Optima 9, even though the Smart-Fly powered on???? weird? Sooo after some trial and error, turns out, the Optima 9 will ONLY power on if I plug into the SPC port, yet the Dual channel 9/Battery port refuses to power the optima 9???? (to prove this, I used the G port [7th channel] on the smart fly to plug into the SPC port to get the optima 9 to finally power on. I also tested both 6.0v battery packs and plugged them directly into the batt/channel 9 port to prove the optima 9 will only power on if i plug into the SPC port)
Also, the Optima 9 will not power up via the smartfly's powering the channel 9 and channel 8 in it's default configuration? Thus, it seems the optima 9 receiver is bad I assume, becuase it ONLY powers on thru the SPC port? I thought the SPC was optional and it would power up just fine and normal via the batt/channel 9 port, or if electric via the throttle port? AmI missing something here? Sooooooo I am confused, it seems this brand NEW optima 9 has somehow lost its ability to power up via anything but the SPC port???
