Yeah, I had looked up the procedure in the manual and made several attempts to set epa on channels 5 & 6 but no dice. That is why this is disappointing. The manuals says you can, the tx menu brings it up but it doesn't appear to work. I do have two systems now so I'm going to see if it works on the other one. Edit: tried adjusting the epa for ch5 on my second system and got the same result. No change in endpoint regardless of the epa settings. Maybe hobby porter will respond back to my email with a miracle cure! :-) Last edited by jebster; 06-09-2019 at 07:10 AM. | |

I'm still excited mine is arriving today. I will immediately check the epa's and report back here with my findings. This radio had a lot of potential but now maybe not so much.

I got a generic response from Hobby Porter with a "sorry to hear that" and direction to contact the warrantee department at Bang good (vendor I bought mine through). I responded asking if it was a warrantee issue because they believe it is a malfunction or because if I'm dissatisfied I would need to deal with them for a refund. I'm guessing it is the later, which means there was false advertising. I doubt they will respond to that message. I did send a message to Bang good to see what they say. In the end having a multi-model radio with 7 channels at this price will be useful. The value is going to diminish if I now have to purchase additional equipment when EPA is necessary (shift servo for example). Last edited by jebster; 06-10-2019 at 06:32 PM. | |

| Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 well, i'm not surprised. this takes it from an incredible deal to just OK. I have some rigs the additional channels (without epa) will be useful for but overall it won't fit all the needs I have. wish there was something that has specs similar to this (7ch, dials and button, multi-model memory WITH epa on all) at a low price, especially the additional receivers. |

RCJuice now carries this radio. I wonder if you can get RCJuice to pose this question of EPAs on 5,6,7... if they'd be more responsive.

I'm not sure any of the stores that carry this will be able to help but I guess it is worth a try. I never got a response to my follow-up email to Hobby Porter about whether the radios are defective or if this was false advertising. I take the lack of response as confirmation of false advertising! in the mean time if I have cases of needing EPA for the additional channels I will consider buying endpoint adjusters from Heyok for channels 3 & 7 (2 position). | |

I successfully tested and sdjusted epa's on my radio up through channels 4, but none were available on 5,6,7 . I get the epa not being avail. on 5-6 as they are knobs, and proportionate to the placement of the knob, but 7 needs an epa. | |

I'm interested to see if it can run 2S without being modified. The notes indicate that it has cutoff built in so I'm thinking it can. I like the looks of it, but there's no way I'm buying a radio that uses AA's. |

Well, thought "I do know this TX"... the handle... and then: Yes, it is exactly the same transmitter that came with my AMX AM24 Defender 1/24 Crawler (= URUAV 1/24 Mini Crawler ). Yes it is, Hobby Porter calls them Turbo, … nothing special, very small, good for children hands. Walter |

I got one of those 3ch Turbo radios off AliExpress. Dirt cheap. Came in a minute box. Feels good though. Gonna use it in a Hornet I’m restoring. An idea on how small the packaging is fir the radio: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Was hoping the mfg got back to you with a firmware update that added it in. Bummer Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |

| Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 I agree a firmware update is probably all that is needed but good luck finding a way to get the original manufacturer to step up and do that. When I tried to trace back to the manufacturer I never got a response.

Yeah it's a shame. I wonder if the guys who cracked the flyskys could be tempted to have a go at this. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |

Yeah I like my hacked flysky, but I want to build a Pro so will need a dial for mixing. This radio seems like the perfect hardware upgrade to replace the aging flysky. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |
