One downfall of your current setup is that you're stepping up the voltage at probably a pretty poor efficiency, then you're regulating that back down to 5 volts at a poor efficiency. So you are losing a ton of battery power. Quote:

Losikid - you, of course, are correct! I tested my DC-DC step up, and it doubles battery drain. Pity, such a cute little circuit board too. It is a doodle to take off the top of the Turnigy GTX3, 2 screws and a pinch, don't even need to pop off the selection knob. Put the Recom VR on there and am testing again. Thanks for the insight. BTW, I saw where some people were having trouble flashing the Turnigy GTX3? You think maybe they were flukes? I should steel my nerve and go ahead anyway? |

I just found out the shiny colored part of the top cover of the GT3C is actually some sort of metal...I thought it was painted plastic. Figured I share... |

Also, I have 8 GT3C's ready to go, once I get to 10, I'll post to the site and send out an notification email to everyone on the waiting list. Also, I have 10 wall/usb/external chargers for the GT3C batteries. GT3C Wall Charger |

I just flashed my turnigy gtx3 with this board, Friday night and it appears to work just fine Only issue appears to be that I can only set EPA on the right turn. To set the left turn I have to use the throttle to change the arrow direction which is just an annoyance but not deal breaker. Have I missed a setting somewhere or is it coz it's not a gt3b/gt3c radio? PS. Flashing was a breeze. You don't even need to solder the legs on, just lean the on the holes and don't bloody touch it when you click GO! Last edited by savagedustbunny; 02-22-2015 at 03:19 PM. |

And i DON'T recommend just leaning the pins, It doesn't create a very good contact with the board and has bricked a couple radios in the past. (I used to to do this, after I bricked a second radio I came up with an alternative). I've also had two customers brick their radios as well. | |

| Re: GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread It's still in the center of the wheel, but it has been redesigned and not an issue now.

On the turnigy you use the wheel, not the trigger to change steering direction for EPA. I suppose it's a difference between these and the gt3bs. | |

| Re: GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread The turnigy Gt3x is the same board as the Gt3b. Outer case is the difference. Have set up a bunch here in our club. Switches are a different side for Dr and trim.... About 5mm shorter than Gt3b. If you can get a hold of either Austin's or stock Gt3b switches they will be longer than stock and easier to control.

Ok, i will give flashing my Turnigy GTX3 a go, thanks for the input. And, after replacing the stock VR with the Recom one, battery drainage is 1/2 of what it was stock on my test. Best mod ever. Now to quiet down the fans on my Turnigy 400 Mega Charger, it thinks it's a jet engine.... |

Losikid. Bought a new radio for my son to use. I have pins soldered to mother board. 4 pin cable to programer USB cable from programer to computer. When I plug it in the screen lights up and the radio beeps, steady stream of beeps. I try to program and I get Can not cmmunicate with the device! Check the SWIM cable connections and all the needed pin connections on the SWIM Connector What is my next move? Re check solder joints? |
