Andrew Johnson Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 brought a new receiver and steering servo the other day for my ECX barrage, the new receiver isn't connecting to the existing transmitter. It came with a binding pin but still no join. Who could help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Is the new receiver actually compatible with the transmitter? Maybe the transmitter is at fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then 90% chance that it won't bind if they're two different brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Johnson Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 no brought a upgrade, and the transmitter is a 2.4Ghz one. It doesn't have any bind buttons or procedure to bind it, just a new receiver and a binding pin that came with it. The steering servo is also a upgrade. When I fist put it all on it work for a while that was with the old receiver and new steering servo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What make is the old and new receiver as well as the transmitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just be careful about buying 'upgrades' if you aren't 100% sure, because 95% of the time they are just more expensive versions of what you had with no real advantage. Have a look online on how to bind it up, it should have a way to do it, some of the bind buttons are recessed, to stop you pressing them by mistake. Double check your receiver and transmitter are actually compatible with each other, you can't just bind any receiver to any transmitter bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was brought brand new, and told the model can be upgraded. Found the upgrades I wanted and they don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Bit confused, you describe it as an 'upgrade' but in what way? The stock ECX one is waterproof and 2.4ghz so not sure how you upgrade from that? Or is it a replacement after problems with the original? Also you say that the new one came with a bind pin? The one that Noj linked (which is the right one) uses a bind button. Are you sure it's the same one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Regardless of why a new RX was considered as an upgrade over the perfectly fine stock item, as you have discovered, it ain't working, for the reasons already pointed out. So, replace the stock RX and return the new one or buy a new TX that is compatible with the new RX. There are no other options. As for upgrades, have a look at the aluminium parts, wince at the prices, then have a look at parts for the FTX Outback (same chassis) and wince less. There are owners threads for both rigs in the Crawler section, see how we're all getting on and what has been done for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
