Scottyboi Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Do you get any range issues at all? Not really,I don't take it to far so can't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmarr Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 @ Scottyboi sell the specktrum mate i had the same issue with mine, less than 50 meter range, even sent it back to a specktrum dealer and they couldnt find anything wrong with it suprise suprise. I had checked it with 3 different receivers with different length ariels same range. So i sold it and now have a FlySky GT3C and i loose sight of the FG Baja no issues with range at all. Never buy another spektrum again. The FlySky maybe cheap and some people look down on it thinking its a cheapo model, but with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samshirley001 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Ive never maxed my range on my leccy baja with spektrum, using the orange rx recivers. they might just have issues with the motor in petrol ones. suprised nobody has made a faraday-cage like mesh to prevent any interference. when it was petrol, i had a etronix pulse 2.4ghz stick radio set. never maxed it on that either, apart from when i went baja racing at MMR and the rostrum was in basically a metal box, and had massive range issues. but that was when it was leccy. strange thing signals Edited May 18, 2013 by samshirley001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyboi Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 A solution? Haha that will go further then mine any day lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been looking at the etronix pulse what do you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerSimpson Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hi chap.... Did u sort out your range issues....? I had a look at my setup over the weekend. I run an hpi baja with a dx3s, telemetry rx and a kill switch and so far haven't had any problems. I know some folk on here think the only answer is to get another radio but i'd want to know what was wrong incase there is an underlying problem somewhere else.

Hey well i turned the glitch sensitivity to 4 so that's the lowest and im getting much better range 80+m compared to 40 but wish it could be better still What killswitch do you run?

Killer RC Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) yeah mate it has You have a Super Bee. The v1 and v2 stuff was our old Killer Bees. The Super Bee is the latest greatest kill switch. Range issues are common with Spektrums, on petrol cars. But the first thing I would do is inspect the two antennas. Then I would change the spark plug. Spark plugs can have a bad internal resistor, which can cause excess radio interference, even on a brand new engine. Make sure you are running a resistor style spark plug, like the NGK CMR7H. I would leave the glitch sensitivity alone on the Super Bee, if possible. You probably have an issue elsewhere that needs attention, like a radio or ignition issue.

Hi well ive check the rx antenna and that's fine as its only a week old, I have looked at spark plug that is a NGK CMR7H. I had the glitch sensitivity set as default (1) like it recommends for spektrum users and as soon as I took car out with glitch sensitivity set to 4 my Baja went more then double the distance? What do you mean by radio or ignition issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
