Put the radio right up next to the RX (like 2 inches) and make sure your RX system type didn't get changed in the menu.

Thanks

As long as it plugs in and the voltage is correct you should be fine. As long as power and ground are in the same configuration there isnt an issue.

Looking to buy one this week but dont want to have to wait and send it off to Futaba

The ones that CKRC just got start with B011

This is probably a stupid question. But im setting up my XR10 with Dual ESC's and 4pl. the RX has a solid green light but I cannot control anything with the transmitter. Can anyone help me out?

Hmmmm, never heard of something like that. At any point has it been working for you?

NorthwestYJ · 01-19-2011, 10:52 PM

Have you confirmed that the servo is in channel 1? Hate to ask the obvious questions but I gotta start somewhere.

NorthwestYJ · 01-19-2011, 11:07 PM

yes i did. Sorry i actually figured it out. The on and off switch was faulty. Thanks for all your help though! Do you have any tutorials or anything for using the 4pl for dig? I did get the update

What would you like to see? I am getting snowed in as we speak so I may be able to knock a video out for you

CREEPINKING · 01-20-2011, 10:33 AM

Can someone help me out with setting up DT2 to operate my Punk dig. I can get it set to operate channel 3 but im not sure where to go from there. Just got it in yesterday so its still PRE-update. Seems like I read something about it on here but I cant find it now. Thanks.

Krakker · 01-20-2011, 10:48 AM

PUNK DIG settings were tricky, but since I just got mine finally working (Big thanks to THnCS for R&D on settings) I'll post screen pics here so you can see how they are for the 4PL.
I do have mine assigned to a different button for easy access while driving but the theory is solid.
Keep in mind that I have mine programed on ch4 since I'm running the dual steering function and they need ch1&3, but your channel3 setting should be the same.

You should be able to just set the value for which ever DT switch to Ch3: 100/NOR

If that doesn't work let me know.

CREEPINKING · 01-20-2011, 11:04 AM

Appreciate the visual Krakker. It seemed to do the trick. If anything odd starts to happen I'll be sure to post up. Thanks for the help fellas.

Harley would setting the value to 100 instead of 50 like in the pics change anything?

Monstergt · 01-20-2011, 11:13 AM

Where can I send the receiver to get fixed? Damn cat ate the anteena off while we was at work. Thankfully the LHS had one.

Monstergt · 01-20-2011, 11:47 AM
