Failed battery relocation

[joshjunior]

So I decided to try moving my battery to the front...but now my esc is beeping and flashing red and green..

I disconnected the led wires bc I don't run them..do I need to rebind the radio?

Is that an Axial AE-2 ESC?

Yeah it's all stock other than the motor.
Well I'm not getting anything. No steering or throttle. I followed the video in binding to the receiver..

Wondering if my esc got rotated some how :banghead:

Maybe you plugged the ESC and servo wires in backwards....did you make sure they were the same way as before? I know on some connectors it is easily possible to plug the servo and ESC backwards into the receiver. I am guessing that might be it??

I just finished my relocation 2 weeks ago, would have been sooner except I had the same problem. I took my wraith to the local hobby shop. They said that my receiver was bad, they tested with another receiver and everything worked. I ended up buying a DX3c, installed everything and the same thing. Ended up ripping open the + and - connection of the BEC and the Deans plug I soldered and found that my BEC + broke loose. Re bonded it and works like as champ now.

I have heard Spektrum aren't that great, sure cheap but not near as good as say a Futaba! I guess Futaba pretty much pioneered the RC radio.

Yeah I saw a bunch of guys running spectrum at the races today and I know the guy that shoots the rcadventure YouTube videos uses them. I'm new to this that's why I asked lol

I went to Spektrum from Futaba when they first came out back years ago. They were the first on the scene with the 2.4ghz technology from what I remember.
I still use the original DX3s that was in the same case as the JR radio. I have had good luck out of it and the only radio that will replace it would be the new DX4s.

Question for ya did u remove the led from the wraith or just unplug them

[joshjunior]

It's probably better than the ones I got with my rtr kits at least lol

Spectrum and Futaba are good, but Flysky FS-GT3B is good and cheap!

I bought my GT3B last year and sold my Spektrum shortly afterwards. Great and inexpensive radio.

Might look into it. The tqi that came with my slash actually has a pretty good receiver from what I can tell
