| rtr electronics issues???
So i tore apart my rtr so i could add on some shiny stuff, paint the chassis and move some things around. I plugged everything back together and it seems the radio and reciever arent communicating anymore. I get the initial beeps when i turn on the truck but no beeps when i turn on the radio. I tried looking in the instructions to make sure everythings plugged in the esy it should be, but its not very clear. When i open the recievet box there is a blinking red light, does this mean anything? Please help!!! |

might need to re-bind the reciever to the controller. Servo goes to ch.1 esc goes to ch. Also recalibrate the esc. Both are pretty easy to do, check out pages 2 and 3 in your instruction book.

Check your throttle trim setting on the remote. May have gotten moved. Make sure its in a neautral position. Also you may have to rebind the rx/tx.

Thanks guys ill check it out when i get home. I thought i might need to rebind, but i had no idea what i may.have.done that would make.that happen, so i didnt want to make things worse, this is my first rc and still dont really understand the.electronics. I like to just jump in with both feet and take my chances. Can anyone explain why this may have happened, just so i can understand better. Thanks guys |

Dont know how or why things happen. I've had to rebing receivers before. My Wraith I just got ended up having a bad receiver. Took 2 days of somewhat working and throwing things across my garage before I realized the reciever was just junk.

I crimped my receiver antenna when I changed my servo. That will do ya in. I'm waiting on a replacement receiver, but until then my signal is intermittent. I'm also getting a BEC for my new servo. Not sure if running a big servo without BEC would cause those problems too. But, be careful with that antenna! |

Update: Rebound now the reciever is recognizing the radio, i have servo action but no throttle, nothing moves. Just want to make sure i have everything plugged in correctly. Servo in STR slot, esc in ch 3, and lights in batt slot. Thr slot is empty. I noticed to rebind i had to plug esc into batt slot so i could plug jumper into ch. 3. Am i missing anything here??? Time to start replacing electronics 1 at a time til i find out whats wrong, im thinking maybe the motor first? |

That made sense to me but i thought i remembered it being next to the light plug when i unplugged everything, and instructions said it to plug it into batt to bind it, maybe i shouldve plugged the esc into thr for binding as well?

If I remember correctly the stock esc throttle position is set just like the castle escs are. Try resetting your throttle position. Also make sure the motor is still in working order. Are you getting all the beeps when powering on? Are you getting lights when pulling the throttle?

| Re: rtr electronics issues???
I havent had a chance to sit down and try anything since my last post, been so busy. Hopefully tonight i will get a few minutes to try a thing or 2. As far as testing the motor, this is the only rc i own, so that will be a little difficult. Im getting all the beeps when i power everything on now, but i had to rebind to get the 2md set of beeps. I never noticed lights when pulling the throttle in the first place, so not to sure what to look for. Im going to try rebinding with the esc in the thr slot and see if everything works then. I rebound before with ot in the batt slot before like the instructions said and now if i plug the esc into the thr slot and power everything up i dont get the 2nd set of beeps. Thanks for the help guys, wish me luck. |

Ok got everything running last night. Had to rebind again, i guess it just didnt bind the 2 or 3 other times. Hope this doesnt mean im going to have more issues down the road. Thanks again |
