Default Help choosing 6 channel receiver that will work with 3 racing LED light system. HELP

Hello,

I may have to get a new 6 channel remote and I need some help finding one that is compatible with the 3 racing LED system. 3RAC-LEDS

Here is why I am having a problem.

DX6 and 3Racing LED kit issue need HELP pleaze

on 3 racing site they say this about the LED controller.

This system is only effected by the transmitter. It is suitable for the transmitter which band width between 5 to 20 ms.


So I am guess in need a remote thats nand width is between 5 and 20 ms. WHAT the heck does that mean haha.!
?????

Can some one on here offer me any help in picking out a new 6 channel remote control and receiver.?

Not the spektrum DX6 or DX6i or DX7 because I believe that this will not work on any of them.

here is a breakdown of the spektrum and its band width and i do not see anything that mentions 5 thru 20 ms
what is the (ms) that 3 racing is talking about?

http://spektrumdx6.com/default.aspx

please help.
I am desperate to finish my project. :-(

they refer to the pulse sent to the servo to tell it what to do.

well you only have a few option for 6chnls. Futable 6EX (go 2.4) or DX6 or DX6i, or Futataba 7C (again go 2.4) or DX7.

personally i d use the Futaba 2.4.

ok I see a few good choises there.
I really would like to stick with the 2.4GHZ because i love the short antenna.
but I worry that I may have the same issue with my 3 racing LED kit not working.

So the DX7 se with 11 ms looks like it should work.

where did you find that the DX6 was 22 ms?
because that proves it will not work

(not that I need proof I know it doesnt work haha)

thanks thanks thanks!

instead of the DX7 how would this one work?

Futaba® 6EX 6-Channel 2.4GHz FASST System


Does any one know the specs of this and the band width?
and if it is between 5 and 20 ms? haha

this one is a little cheaper and looks very similar to my DX6

Would it be just as easy as swapping everything out?

thanks

Hello all,
I am still looking for a 6 channel that will work with the 3racing LED kit.
well I contacted 3racing and they specificaly said to me that the Spektrum DX6 will NOT work.

also they said that the Futaba Attack will work.
but thats not 2.4 ghz :-(

I also emailed Futaba asking them if the Futaba 6EX will work or if they sell any other remotes that will work.

still waiting to here back.

thanks again for your input.

Brian
