If it weren't for bad LUCK I wouldn't have any luck at all
 

So I go to my LHS and pick me a brand new DX3E And I get it home thinkin I'm good to go. 2 hrs later.... Couldn't get the F'en thing to bind. So I take everything back to the LHS and it turns out the on and off switch was a little touchy..... After and an hr there, they get it to bind. I get it home all excited to try it out..... And wouldn't ya know. It wouldn't trun on or power up. I'm takin it back today but whatever the case maybe. This isn't a good start with Spektrum. I know they have a product and I've wanted one of these for a long time now. And this is the experience I get.:flipoff: Like I said.... BAD A$$ LUCK!....

Did you use the little battery pack to power up the RX ?
I just followed the quick start up guide that came with mine. I binded it first and then installed it.
On the RX it has markings for +,-, and signal make sure every thing is plugged in right when installed. And make sure to remove the + wire from the ESC plug if you hooked your BEC back up.:shock:

The problem is in the Rx. when you turn the power swtch on the red light wont come on and it wont work and thats after it was binded.

My mistake I meant RX in my previous post. The RX light will be green flashing during bind and solid when on. Are you talking about the red light on the TX ?

Is it luck you own a jeep? . . . . .:flipoff: Had to change a radiator on an 01 cherokee classic today, can't say I know how they stay cool with half a radiator for an I6 :ror:

What do you mean by BIND?

Thats pretty much any F'n Jeep.... My Pops and I swaped out our Jeeps with a 4 row aluminum radiator about 3 years ago. The stock ones suck a fatty.

Yea the red light wont come on. When its binding the red light will start flashing and then stay on..... Well after we got it to bind (After playing with the falty switch) The green light is for the Rx power, the red is for the connection with the TX when it is on. Before I left the LHS it was working, but when I got it home, I couldn't get it back on again. So I took it back after work yesterday and got my money back and went to another LHS and get one that does work..... And I do like it a lot more now I have one that actaully works.

Bind.... It's when you programe a Rx to a Tx.

Ah Thanks.

same problem
 

I have a dx5e with the a similar problem, had to bind every time and they wouldnt let me return it. I ended up taking tx apart, cutting wires off of switch, binding and taping wires up and leaving them inside housing. f-ck spectrum.
