allbluedave Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hey guys. Ok so ive got this dt10 as a project which ive sorted out but came with no transmitter/receiver so i used the old radio gear from the truck ive just sold which was working and now it just refuses to work ? is there anything that can just stop it all from working? Ive changed batterys. Swaped crystals and still no luck. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 re check all the wiring is the TX crystal and RX crystal in place have you got 4 AA batts to power the RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allbluedave Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Ive tryed batterys. Swaped crystals. I did get it working off the car but it twitched then went ok then died again.can a receiver screw up if you connect a hump back battery to it? To much voltage for eg? Do the crystals on go in one way. ? Edited May 24, 2016 by allbluedave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the crystals on go in one way. ? the crystals have to be TX in the transmitter and the RX one has to be in the receiver. As for voltage a hump back pack could damage it. so what receiver are you using as 6V might of been to much for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allbluedave Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Its a standard traxxas t maxx transmitter and receiver. Ive checked the crystals and they are fine. Just wondering if the wiring is ok as it looks pretty old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
