[Teejay]

Hi I'm new here so this is my first thread/post. An I'm wanting to buy all new electronics an radio system for an Axial ax10 that has 2 joysticks. I've done alot of searching but haven't really found anything an I'm on some what of a budget so thanks in advance guys.

That's about as cheap as it gets. Flysky isn't a bad brand though, I use the gt3b and its a very decent radio.

And welcome to RCC

Thanks Meatwad. An I was also lookin at the Spektrum dx5e but I didnt know if or how or what I'd need to make it work?

An will that CT6 system work with the AX10 stock ESC and servos? Sorry for the newbe questions I've never messed with any rc electronics:/

There's a receiver included with either of those radios. Your esc and servo plug into the receiver.

Have a look through the sticky threads in the various sections here on RCC, there is tons of info. Get ready to read

the ct6b is a great radio, but so is this one, and not much more

Ok another CT6 question, will it control the reverse on the ax10 bc I noticed on the pics the left joystick is stationary pushed to the bottom?

You will have to move rtc (return to center) mechanisms, or i have lots of them, i can sell you a rtc lever and spring for cheap (basically price of postage)

Did you try plugging the steering servo into the throttle port on the RX to see if it's the RX vs. the ESC?

What ESC?
Is the battery charged?

Ya I have a CT6 6ch RX an I've tried switching the pugs every way from Sunday an all I can get to work is the steering an sometimes the reverse will briefly work.

And the battery is fully charged an the ESC is the stock one that came in the RTC kit.

I recently had a GT2 and it was causing batteries to explode. Assuiming you bought it from HobbyPartz, they offered me a free 1 time replacement or I could return it. If you are still within the return period then I would contact them.

Ya I bought my CT6 from hobbypartz but I don't think it's my RX tho I think my ESC went bad cuz as soon as I put in my new 2s 5.0 Lipo I lost all throttle control even when I switch to the steering plug:/

Man i totally forgot to send out your rtc stuff, forgot to print out something and add it to my pile of orders...it'll be out monday, and i have a refund heading your way. Sorry for the delay.


Also, with the ct6b, the best way to trouble shoot is to plug it in and look and see what the bars are doing...i highly suggest using this software over t6config

Thanks I'll try that software instead and it turns out that my whole prob was that my ESC was in setup mode an it works perfectly after I decoded the beeps lol now I feel kinda dumb.

That's why we asked about swapping RX ports to see if the issue was a RX channel or the ESC.
If the TX/RX throttle could control the steering servo, it rules out the TX & RX. That leaves the ESC or motor.

Glad you figured it out.
