Futaba 6EX 2.4Ghz Throttle Problem
Just installed the new Futaba 6EX's receiver in the AXE and now I have no throttle or tail motor output at ALL! I've checked throttle curves, etc.. yet I can't get a twich outta her. Reconnected stock receiver to verify the 3-in-1 was ok, works fine. Anyone have a clue what I'm missing? (Also tried all the toggle switches.. can't get a thing out of it except servo movement - Which is working perfectly I might add...)

RE: Futaba 6EX 2.4Ghz Throttle Problem
Just a fair warning.. Futaba (aka: Hibboco Support) said they have no information on compatibility with other controllers and 3-In-1's out there!
At the moment the Futaba 6EX Fasst system will NOT control the 3-in-1 of the AXE CP.. Maybe there's some other revisions out there, but the radio is too new for them to have a track record. Their best guess was that there's a pulse compatibility issue between the HeliMax 3-in-1 and the new 2.4Ghz receiver for the 6EX.
Anyone had problems (no throttle) with any other Futaba systems trying to replace the stock receiver in their AXE or Blade CP's?

Hard to say if it 'ARMS' per say.. since it's the stock 3-in-1... but it arms enough for the status light to go green... (like it would with the normal receiver) So I'd have to say yes.. I'm just gonna be pissed if Futaba didn't do enough testing and we find out the current receiver isn't compatible with half the speed controllers out there.. lol (Just MY luck...)

RE: Futaba 6EX 2.4Ghz Throttle Problem
Thank you for your recent e-mail.
We have done some testing with those systems. Unfortunately, the 3 in
1 mixer in that heli will not work with the 2.4 GHz system.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

..... Was my final reply from Futaba support. In short, do NOT buy the Futaba Fasst system in hopes of using it to connect to your 3-in-1 unless someone verifies your brand 3-in-1 / ESC works with it first!
