cupra313 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Well it started life as a rovan stealth baja a week ago and now i have this.The problem is the exhaust melted some parts of the rear cage. Rcmodelz failed to inform me that the blade cage and this exhaust are almost incompatible, given that they suggested a stealth and a blade cage because the original triton blade is out of stock. I could have bought another exhaust but anyways... The second problem is the range. At about 12-15 meters the servos start to lag and beyond that signal cuts out and the kill switch engages...

What radio gear are you using? Edited March 31, 2019 by KORB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORB Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Are you using new/fully charged battery pack onboard? And good quality batteries in the TX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupra313 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) It s the stock radio. A flysky gt3b. It may not be a lot of things, but 2.4ghz is Edit: yeap on both, changed the batteries 2 times in the tx. Tried both recharchable AA s and brand new energizers Edited March 31, 2019 by cupra313 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORB Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 There was problems with that particular radio set and loss of range. Where the clear RX antenna tube is the inner wire should be slightly exposed ABOVE your tube? if it isn't then you'll have to very carefully cut the tube down until the inner wire is exposed and then if the inner wire is not exposed you will need to cut the outer wire to expose it about 3/4 of an inch.

cupra313 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yeah i know,i did a research on the subject. Firstly i opened up the rx to make sure that the antenna wire wasn't de-soldered, it was fine. Then the inner wire was already outside the tube. Nevertheless i exposed some more inner wire. I haven't tested it since, if i have the time,i will tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupra313 Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 update the range problem insists and it keeps melting the cage even with exhaust wrap on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 First thing you should do is This, I had the same thing with my FlySky triggering the failsafe, Big servo's sucking power through an Iddy biddy little receiver was enough for a power dip setting off the failsafe, The throttle response was also erratic as if I had a range problem before the failsafe was triggered. The range could also be were you are running if it's not the battery, I had a place I went were it would always loose signal like clockwork in the exact same place, No real reason that I could see for it like phone mast and the like, It just did in that one place.
