Any suggestions, I have a R8MSL GWS 35mhz single conversion reciever and channel 3 (throttle) is not working at all, it used too.

I have tested other recievers and they are fine together with my Futaba 6EXP transmitter.

If a GPmodel:
Re-assign the throttle, using a P-Mix in need, to another channel is easiest with most Tx but may not be possible with a 6EX.
Try another servo or ESC, could be the joiners in the servo plug have spread and not making a good contact or
a sleeve in plug or pin on Rx. Clean all thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. If still no joy, cheaper to buy a new Rx..
(Have a NIB GWR4P on which Ch 1 is inoperative but on my 9ch is re-assigned using a mix.).
If an EPmodel:
What brand of ESC?if other than a Futaba, then with 95% of units, you must reverse Ch3 on Futaba Tx
for an ESCto recognise a valid signal.

Thanks for your help guys, i managed to make channel 6 master and channel 3 slave so i can now use channel 6 as throttle. Another way of doing it was to use Helicopter mode which uses channel 6 as throttle.
