Hyper-d Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ........missing the binding cable don't help either lol,do you not know anyone in the hobby you could borrow one off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JON35Y Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 If that's all it is I will make one up or just buy one. Literally bought this yesterday. Don't know anyone who is into the rc scene around here yet. If someone can confirm which pins on which channel (seems like 3?) I will make one up. Thanks for your reply. Hopefully someone else can shed some more light on the compatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Reading both sets of instuction I don`t think you need a bind plug Instructions for the Blackout system Binding the Transmitter and Receiver You may need to setup your transmitter to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cougar RC is to do with Associated/Thunder Tiger, so you definitely have the wrong transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JON35Y Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Thank you for confirming. No doubt I will have many more questions for you all in the coming weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatout! Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Im having range trouble with My gt3 fs tx and rx, only half way across a footy pitch and the kill switch comes into play, don't no if its the battery thats the problem, but im gunner try that first, but I dont under stand because people say that there good, and I had it with my other 5b aswell, so its not just the one iv got now it was the same with another 5b to but if your just nipping around the park the fs set up should be ok for you, but if you wont distance then id go with somthing else.

JON35Y Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Got the right controller and it all works!! [emoji106] but....... Start it and it takes off unless I put it in reverse. Is there some sort of set up? If I hold reverse it stops otherwise it's off. Idles alot higher when controller is turned on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 You should have a servo reverse switch on your controller.What controller have you got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JON35Y Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 The servo works thr correct way. I think it's because there's no stop on what I presume is the clutch? There's a stop then a spring then the clutch arm. There's nothing on the other side to it so it's engaging the clutch but then not releasing it from what I can see...?

Ian w Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) O/k here`s some pictures of mine may help you The clutch is engaged by centrifugal force not by the servo. The 2 rods on the servo control the brake and the throttle. I still say that if you are having to hold brakes on (reverse) then the servor needs to be reversed. By the way the Blackout does not have a reverse gear. Edited March 4, 2015 by Ian w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JON35Y Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 That is the same as mine. Is the brake lever sprung loaded? If you take the servo forward does the brake lever spring back to release friction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 No it does not need a spring it just releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
