Title: giant cod 2.4 gig 4 channel problem solved
Post by: Ian Robins on May 28, 2010, 09:54:21 pm
Hi all,
Just to let you know

I have a model slipway "Maggie M"
2.4 radiolink radio. M-troniks viper speed control powered by a Action distribution board. oh and a action sound board.

Problem..
When accelerating the speed increases and the sound gets faster. As it should
When going astern the sound increases but the motor speed increases to 3/4 throttle then the motor stops,sound flat out.

Fix..
Been on giant cod website fitted a 1k resistor to the pot on the stick gimble as instructed in the site.
and Hey presto it all works OK

Hint>> any problems with radio try this cheap mod first as Maplin charge 17p each for the resistors.

hope this will help someone
