you can use a small flat screw driver, or exacting knife to remove the pins from the original case and then install them into a servo type three pin case, yes put them in the end slots, polarity does not matter because you can just flip the pin if the retracts are not all moving the same way.

Can you post the exact wording of how you posed the question? I’m having a hard time believing that JP would be this wrong about their own product (although it’s entirely possible), I’m wondering if they are misunderstanding the question?

be carefull
most electric retracts are current driven...
meaning a max of mA is used on the gears,,
with JP gears this is very low lower then Electron!
you WILL burn out the motors if you mix them
unless you have a Programmable Gear controller like the CRU

here is a Example of a Prgrammable Gear controller for Jeti radio,s

I just received my Digitech CRU, looking forward to trying it with my DS-24 soon

That is correct. The title of this thread is Xicoy LGC 1... . I thought that the Xicoy was what was being referred to. Apparently, it is not clear from the quoted post. My bad.
Bottom Line: The OEM JP controller has a VR, Xicoy LCG 15 does not. What ever voltage goes in that Xicoy comes out to the gear motors. If someone can't seem to figure that out, good luck to them in this aspect of the hobby. It is getting tiring dealing with folks who can't take the time to read manuals and/or figure it out on the bench.
Besides, all you really need to know is that the JP controller is trash and if you use a Xicoy LCG15 to replace it, you may need a VR depending on the type of gear motors you have. If you are not sure what your gear can take, contact the manufacture. We know that you can burn out JP gear motors at 8.4 VDC. That s why the JP controller has the VR.
I set both my E-geared jet up on the bench and started with low voltage and amps and increased volts and amps until they work reliably. Then bump the voltage and amps up one-tenth, just to make sure they work in the air. A good starting point is 7.5 VDC and .5 amps.

we also did a lot of testing with the JP gears with all of them
2S lion is no problem.
on the er200 i use life 9.9 (3S)
so no VR is needed on the JP gears.
however you do need a reall nice Current control.
anythin over it and no rewind will cause jamming and burning of the motors.
so measure your JP current and use this for the controller.
that is why JP have so many controllers to select from , its all about the Max current off.

Also it has no SD card. The slot for the micro is empty. It has saved everything else though

Its still saving theboriginal setup, but it doesnt let the doors open before the geqr comes down, so I changed the step 8 to gear up to give time for the doors to open, but it wont save that.
Also it has no SD card. The slot for the micro is empty. It has saved everything else though

Oh never mind I just re-read your post that it saved everything else. Maybe try updating or re-flashing the firmware?

So, I had a heck of a time getting my brakes set up on my Rebel HOT, and now I think I know why - the left brake went completely dead at the field on maiden day.
I know this is of topic, but has anyone had a brake go completely dead? I checked ohms of both brakes and both are at 10ish ohms. I checked voltage at the fuselage connection and get battery voltage at 100% brake power. I then connected the brakes and probed the wires right at the brake and only got 4.2 volts at 100% brake power. I'm assuming this is because of the resistance in the coil of wires. I didn't compare the good brake, but I assume it would probably be the same. Guess I'll have to check and guess I'll have to order a couple more brakes.

Are you going into the save menu and saving it? I think you only have to do that if you put an SD card in and want to save it to the card? Otherwise it just saves automatically. Have you tried just putting in your settings backing out to the main menu and then turning it off and back on and see if it sticks?
Oh never mind I just re-read your post that it saved everything else. Maybe try updating or re-flashing the firmware?
