Well that sucks to hear thought we would of been close to 12 weeks you had said in October.
Just had one of my mini's kick the bucket, guess i'm going to have to go back the sidewinders till/if the new mini's come out

So we're looking around April?

Mike, I got some from LockedupRC. I think there's still few left.

[JohnRobHolmes]

We have them in stock now, got them on Monday!

[Tossedman]

Wow, six weeks sure flies!

[JohnRobHolmes]

Fortunately it was not the full 6 weeks! We were preparing for a possible interrupt by the chinese new year since some of the components are sourced from China.

I'd be happy to test a set out for you @ our next comp

Ok so I couldn't get the dual sec setup from Holmes (out of stock) so I picked two up and went about wiring them up. can someone tell me how to link them to a airtronics Mt-4? all they do is flash red and green led's. Is there a set up button I'm not seeing? any help would be greatly appreciated

You have just to hold full throtle on mt4 and switch on the br mini.

Hey Curt.. To start calibration process.
Turn on tx, hold full throttle, then plug battery in..

I calibrate mine separately with the use of the lever.. Roll it up, calibrate one.. Unplug truck.. Roll lever down, hold full throttle, plug truck in..

Calibration is.. Full throttle, beep.. Full reverse, beep.. Neutral, beep.. Calibrated!

[crawlinghulls]

That's what I did in the first place. It chimes, then beeps with both led's flashing?

[crawlinghulls]

Ok I was able to get one bound but not the other. I'm leaving the red wire connected and am using the esc to power the rx

Try plugging the one that didn't calibrate, into the rx slot for the esc that did calibrate? Might be worth a shot.

[pat13]

I do both at the same time, dig switch at the middle

[crawlinghulls]

#1 loose positive on the hh bec so I don't think the Rx was powered up - fixed

#2 not being patient enough to let the br's do their thing - fixed

Success! Now get everything neat and tidy

Thank you gentlemen

So these are the new and improved version? Nothing indicative of that on the website...as far as I can tell.

I talked with Jonathan yesterday and he says these are the new cooler running br mini.

[Solitaire]

Thanks, Mike.
Hopefully JRH has a version number imprinted on them to distinguish from the first edition.

[JohnRobHolmes]

They have serial numbers and manufacturing dates on the RX wire. If it's not late 2014 or newer it is from the first batch. I'll add a mark to the PCB silkscreen for the next batch as a backup against people hacking off the RX wire.


It took over a year to sell half of the first batch. It took about a week to sell half of the second batch These things work great as a winch controller!

[Robbob]

Quick question ...... MT4 takes 7.4 right into the RX.

Two of these mashed together .... Red wire pulled from RX on both ESC's
BEC set at 7.4 running into RX to power servo
4S packs .....

Safe??

[Jfannin]

Quick question i hope

First crawler.....

With the be mini are the should it light up green going forward and red when backing up?

Don't know if it maters but I didn't ever connect it to castle link or anything. Just wired it up and tested. Also I'm using a FM dual stick heli tx...

Thanks
