Please help!

Today, my Reciever just wouldnt turn on. the Green light would flicker, then just go off, sometimes it will go off and then turn back on..

Like if i turn on my MRC, with a charged battery, the reciever wont turn on at all or just take awhile to turn on! :(

I Turn on Transmitter, then Plug in battery, then Put on switch (like your supposed to).. The ESC will Go on, but the Reciever will usually Flicker and then no light (so the transmitter wont work) or the Reciever will turn on again and work whats wrong!?!?!?

PLEASE HELP!

If you slowly and gently move the wiring around does your RX come back on?

Are you running stock electronics? Any modifications to ESC, motor, servo?

this happened to me 4 times, 3/4 of the times it was my esc :(

my ESC works. just my reciever wont work.

MRCCRAWLER1.9 · 06-12-2010, 02:42 AM

alright so ive been working around the clock and now its 2.. in the morning.. i tried rebinding it 3 times to ensure its fully binded and just to make sure..

it works alittle better, but still has a laggy response time of turning on..

Also the reciever will glitch alittle sometimes.

JeepinOR · 06-12-2010, 09:31 AM

How long is a little lag time? I wouldn't worry too much about a few seconds or even up to 5 or 10 seconds as the RX may be looking for the TX; I don't know why it would take longer now, though. Did this start happening after you installed the bigger servo?

What kind of glitching are you you seeing - when the rig is just sitting there, or when you're driving?

MRCCRAWLER1.9 · 06-12-2010, 12:08 PM

The lagg time does take around 10-30seconds..

As for the glitch, it glitches both when its stopped and when its going, but it happens rarely..

BTW i found my battery to ESC connection was very loose, and may pick up some TRX connectors (since thats wat i use in most my kits)

JeepinOR · 06-12-2010, 01:26 PM

Does the glitching get any worse while steering?

That'll do it, of course. Perhaps some of the pins in the connectors are bad or misaligned; they also may have too little actual [bare] wire to pin contact.

Hopefully that's all it is. Let us know.

alright. now i have to wait to go to the hobby store in like 3 days :( i dont have any Male TRX Connectors! FAIL!!! LOL but i have like 20 female connectors o.O

el_Fernando · 06-14-2010, 11:06 AM

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Luckily I had a Mini-t to test out the batts. I narrowed the prob down to the Losi mini connectors. I swapped them out for Deans and all is good w/ the world.

MRCCRAWLER1.9 · 06-14-2010, 01:54 PM

oh alright sweet cause im about to go to the LHS and pick up some new TRX connectors! Thanks el-Fernando!

Jslick · 07-09-2010, 04:27 PM

did you check your tx batteries? mine was doing the same thing until I changed them to fresh ones and now, no issues. Someone also said the the stock tx are junk and switching to a quality tx is also a good idea.

MRCCRAWLER1.9 · 07-09-2010, 05:18 PM

Na i fixed it by soldering on trx connectors.. The stocks are flat and don't have good contact
