wow that sucks, i saw another guy and yourself doing a momentary bind and loose the bind after 15 seconds? how is that even possible? i thought if the protocol was different they shouldn't bind at all. I probably am getting one anyways and start getting couple extra receivers at time later on.

Manual states the rx/tx is already binded, should i rebind it to be on the safe side, or let it be until i have a problem?

Possibly, but that would be odd. I think it's something in the firmware forcing you to buy the newer, more expensive receivers. The good thing is they have come down to around $15. | |

Had anyone successfully used one of the channels to turn on/off a lighting system? I have a Trx-4 with the original Traxxas light kit and have the connector plugged into channel 4. I was hoping the three way switch would work with turning the lights on and off but it doesn't seem to. Any tips? Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk |

Personally I don't know exactly how the signal pin in the receiver works but I imagine changing the red wire to the this pin won't work either because it probably outputs the wrong type of voltage signal. The idea behind the red wire is that the lights are fed from the battery in parallel with the ESC and the red wire signals the LEDs to turn off when the ESC is switched off even though the battery might still be connected to the ESC by removing it's voltage signal completely. You need some sort of a relay or switch connected from the receiver because the power and signal pins on the receiver always output some sort of voltage I hope this makes some sort of sense, it looks like you would need another piece of electronics connected to the receiver. If you find an answer or an electronic item to do this, I would be interested as well although I have that switch connected to my aux ESC write at the moment and so have no spare channels Last edited by niro750; 11-22-2018 at 11:42 PM. | |

I did find a few videos on YouTube talking about a turnigy Receiver switch that appears to do what I want. If I get my hands on one I will most definitely try it out. Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk | |

I used a "Turnigy Receiver Controlled Switch" for both my lights and FPV camera on Ch4. Mine is wired a bit differently as I wired it to an RX port instead of directly to the battery to limit the voltage to 6v, I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight. My FPV cam is also setup on a custom 2 servo pan tilt using Ch5 and Ch6 to move it around, wish this Tx had a sim port where I could setup head tracking but alas that is first world problems for me | |

Has anyone bought a FlySky FS-NB4? That radio looks pretty darn good for under $200. Comparable to radios $500 plus. Just wish it was 6 channel not 4.

Awesome thanks Frank! That thing looks stunning for the money and the fact that its not based on Android is awesome imo. And wow 16-18 channels?!?! That would be something else! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Try this one switch from amazon. I use it on CH 3 OR CH 4. This thing is only $12 and works great with the FS-GT5. I use it to turn on my light bar on my Rock Rey. Hope this helps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BKSGW3D...detail_4?psc=1 | |

But I'll keep the switch in mind for my next project, since I still want an option that'll work with the rc radio only. Sent from my SM-N950W using Tapatalk | |

I just got that same kit for my TRX4 lights. How did you power the control box? Haven’t done any install research yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |
