| weird issue with Dx3e...& s200 servo
Ok I've had my Dx3e for about a week now, & have already used it @ a comp & it worked great. Yesterday I plugged in the servo that came with the Dx3e into the aux port on the Rx and the Rx would unbind itself:? No BS I messed with it for a couple hours... I was like WTF is going on. Well then I tried a Hitec servo, it worked fine. tried a futaba servo again it worked fine. As soon as I plug in the included servo it unbinds! The even more f'd up thing is that I plugged the servo (included) into the aux port on rx the first day to test it & it was fine then. Now as soon as I plug it in, It unbinds from the Tx. I've rebinded it prob. 50x. WTF is going on???? Last edited by R/CMaxximus5.0; 04-22-2010 at 11:12 PM. |

I also have a castle BEC, I'm wondering if this could be related B/c there are only 4 ports on the rx: steering, throttle, aux, & bind. 1. servo (steering) 2. ESC (C.C. sidewinder)(black & white only) 3. BEC 4. servo (aux) I've tried every different way of binding by switching around leads on the Rx- because the bind plug has to go in...it says you can power the servo from any other port....evil: |

i don't know much about your problem but I do think that all companies throw in extras just for the sake of throwing in extras. If i could buy a dx3e and 101 servos and 48 rx's for 3 dollars more than just the radio (I'm buying the package) just my thoughts |

Your not trying to plug the servo into the bind port are you? Run a Y-harness into the auxiliary port and plug in the servo and your BEC to the Y or the Y together with esc and BEC. Then it leaves aux open for servo. Do you have a way to test the servo on another radio. It must have a short circuit across the black and white wires internally which will essentialy turn it into a bind plug. Last edited by 4VRYNG; 02-19-2010 at 11:01 PM. |

| New S200 Spektrum servo is JUNK!!
Well I just had a load of problems with a Losi 2.4 Radio also... Turns out the Spektrum servo I originally got with the DX3E is junk This is a brand new F'n servo, if I plug it into a RX it unbinds, or simply wont work in my AM or FM radios. I'm going to try to get it warrantied, the servo is only like 100/oz in, but it is new like I said, So I'll see what Spektrum will do.... The DX3E is long gone now though...still got a junk servo Anyone else have problems like this? Last edited by R/CMaxximus5.0; 04-22-2010 at 11:15 PM. |

I guess I miss understood the problem. I am still pretty green with the electronics part of this hobby. I guess for the price I will probably still try it out cause I wasn't planing on using the servo that came with it anyways. Thanks for clearing it up for the newb. |

Mine was doing the same thing, and now I can't get it to bind at all. I tried unplugging everything and then rebinding, but nothing. I can't even get the Red light under the green like on the TX to light up. I bought this for a comp tomorrow and its really ticking me off. Worked out of the box. I shut it off to change up the course I was on, turned it back on and now nothing.
