CODE DSSS 2.4 ghx transmitter, what receiver? B44.1 and Optima Mid!

[mataos]

Hi,

I am having trouble finding a receiver to use with my CODE DSSS 2.4 ghz transmitter, The CORE receiver in the B44.1 works ok, but the 2 other receivers don't work,, they seem to bind (light goes green) but wont do anything, Can anyone with experience of the CODE or Etronix RC gear tell me where I have gone wrong?

 

The 2 receivers that don't work have PCM 1024 written on them,, but in the description it said they were EX3G DSSS!

 

I want to get another receiver that works to use in my optima mid that I raced years ago.

Hmm maybe you could ask on here if anyone wants to get rid of there stock radio and receivers.....id imagine you could get something extremly cheap

Can you not just use any 2.4ghz receiver ??

That just goes to show my knowledge of this stuff

Has the Tx got model memory? Don't forget that using a different Rx, you will need to calibrate the vehicle I.e the esc so it might just need calibrating.

Hi, yes its got model memory's I go through the binding process for the new receiver / Model Mem and the green light on the receiver lights up ~( as it does on the one that works) but then nothing!

 

I like the transmitter so thought it would be easy to buy more receivers for other cars and use the model memory's! If I cant get it to work may be ill buy a new transmitter,, as I have 2 receivers that don't seem to work with this transmitter at the mo!

I use sticks, never liked the wheel tx style. I use an old Futaba 6EX flight Tx/Rx on my cars. Converted it to left stick throttle by changing the internal springs. Paid

still not working, but thanks for the help,,

 

anyone know what transmitter would work with the receivers?  or can recommend a cheap ish stick set with model memory's that I can easily get more receivers for?

I suspect that the two receivers that are not working are probably ET 1055s, whereas the one that works is an ET 1050, the correct receiver for that transmitter, but there is no way for me to be certain.

 

The 1055, although a three channel receiver, actually matches the two channel "Sport" DSSS transmitter. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any obvious external differences between the two.

 

I have ten 3 channel FHSS sets (mixture of Etronix, Code and Tamco - all identical except for label) and a 2 channel sport FHSS. The "Sport" receiver will bind to a 3 channel transmitter but will not work with it.  Although I have four DSSS 3 channel sets, I do not have a 2 channel DSSS to see  if these react the same way and replicate your problem.

 

I have bought extra ET 1050 receivers from Modelsport in the past, but they do not seem to be listing them at the moment - might be worth checking if they will be re-stocking in the future.  They are, however listed on Etronix' website at about

Thanks, that's a great help, its confusing all these different types/ makes and part numbers,

 

So the ET 1050 should be the same as the Core/Code C139 receiver,, so if I can get either of them then it should work!
