I'm building a Capra and I'm new to digital radio adjustments. It's set as 3 position with 4WD, dig, and freewheeling. Freewheeling is in the center, then you go either direction for dig or 4WD. Can the order be swapped? Can I start in 4WD, click once for freewheel, and again for dig? Or put 4WD in the center so I can go directly to one of the other modes?

More newbish questions... On the RF quality screen, what do the F, H, and A mean? I'm cruising around the yard on my initial test and it works fine for a few minutes, then the motor stops. The servos continue to respond and the radio shows that it registers throttle, but no movement from the motor. I've rebound the receiver and recalibrated my ESC (TorqueMaster BR-XL). What else can I check? I think it started responding after a few minutes last night without any action. Today I just unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it immediately responded. |

I didn't notice it on a 3 position botton, but the dx5r has an actual 3 position switch that can be set how you are asking. __________________________ Handy gearing spreadsheet |

Also never store your rc with the battery plugged In! Review the manual. The esc has leds that can tell you quite a bit. __________________________ Handy gearing spreadsheet Last edited by Voodoobrew; 05-15-2020 at 12:06 AM. |

A 2S LiFe pack will only stay at 7.2V for a short time after it comes off the charger, it will drop to it's nominal voltage of 6.6V within a few minutes of use. | |

Is this the right one? Fits the Futaba T14SG & 4PK? https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...XBKQ70BE&psc=1 |

I just got one of these also. Love it so far, not having any problems with the touch screen. Thought the thumb lever would be closer to the grip but it’s not too bad. Has anyone installed the receiver in an SCX10-II radio box? I didn’t run my antenna out of the box, just wrapped it around the inside. Figured I’d never be more than 20 feet or so away. I’m just using Panasonic Eneloops in it now, but like the idea of a battery pack.

Currently have Futaba receivers, debating the switch to Spektrum. With kids, I kinda liked the idea of "rugged" vs. a 3PV let alone the fact that it has two more channels than the 3PV. Will be curious if this new touch screen is an improvement. Would you suggest staying with futaba or migrating to spektrum? |

Anyone have experience with the DX5 Rugged in the new Green color? From HH website, it looks like the green version attempts to correct the issues with the selector buttons. Just curious if that's the case. "...Updated touch panel - from previous DX5 Rugged releases - features better feel, control and operation..." Thx...... |
