got a turborix with 2 receivers....no problem binding them.
I run an xp machine, have downloaded the software and the uart driver on the disk, the system sees the usb plugged in and comes up on screen, but when I open the software it does not see the transmitter!!! HAVE TRIED ALL THE DRIVERS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED BUT CANNOT GET IT TO WORK ON MY PC! tried on Bob V and it works on his.....any ideas??????
in desperation

Right an update.........after trying loads of different drivers gleened from various websites and forums, I went to my daughters computer out of sheer frustration, which runs VISTA, and the damn thing worked.....................never thought to try it on vista to start with as everyone is saying that they were waiting for vista drivers etc.

vista drivers have now been issued (I got mine from R2hobbies, dispatched foc.) Maybe you got a vista driver to start with?

on another note, I just received some extra rx's, and they have been updated from the original versions. Gone are the short brittle aerials, replaced by very long flexible wire areials, much better, maybe the range will increase, I always ran out of signal before my old 40mhz did!

I've never had a problem with the short aerial version but the last 2 I ordered have had the longer flexi type and they do look far better quality

Just got a second rec for mine, did the binding fine, following the instructions at the start of this thread.
(Works OK , after removing the binding plug! )

Mine does seem to have the green LED for binding though.

andygh · « **Reply #81 on:** December 19, 2009, 08:56:03 pm »

Hmm, all mine are red

funtimefrankie · « **Reply #82 on:** December 21, 2009, 07:06:22 pm »

I mean the one on the transmitter, there's a battery monitor LED but not the one to the right of the switch shown on the pics on the first page of this thread.

The LEDs on the rec. are red

andygh · « **Reply #83 on:** December 22, 2009, 06:29:52 am »

Oh ok, I thought you meant the Rx led

Looks good, where did you get it?

funtimefrankie · « **Reply #86 on:** February 13, 2010, 10:16:55 am »

Anyone anywhere come up with a PDA/windows mobile verson of the setup program?

The best place for information on Turborix is

nearly 200 pages to read but there is a good summary of the information to download on this page.

Hi for whats its worth the 6 ch and the 9 channel 2.4 gear from r2hobbies is about the best gear i have used in 30 odd years of boat modelling and the 4 ch stick gear is great i paid 60 bucks oz landed for 4 ch sticks and its the best stick controller arounds for the dollars great service staight no b/s and the gear is brillant to use two thumbs up from me down under tassie48.

hi i need to get a copy of the original software that comes on the CD for programming the set, can some one please help as i cant get any radio setup.

Download under the model FS-CT6A on this page: http://www.flysky-cn.com/english/download.asp

For those that find the factory T6 software unfathomable, this:

is rather good....

...and quite a bit prettier too

Bear with me gents...
why do you need to programme the radio gear for a model boat????
Ain't it just left, right, stop, go for most?
OK, maybe a very fast boat wants some carb trim or power trim on an outboard cat or on trim tabs and I suppose there are big battleships with twirly turrets, soIi can see maybe 4 function is useful, but programmable??!
Isn't this all getting a bit silly? How many who've bought these things have actually breathed a sigh of relief because at last they've been able to tap away into it some special abilities?

Convince me it's not all keeping up with the watery Joneses.

Left? Right? Stop? Go?

When I were a lad we didn't have no fancy remote control gear, we just pushed t'boat off from t'side and ran like hell round t'other side of t'pond....

Moving on....

I'm sure similar discussions went on beside the pond when these newfangled 2 channel radio control systems came out - 'I'm doing quite alright with my one channel setup thankyou!'

Proportional control? Who needs that eh?

Times were 'ard but we were 'appy living in our shoe box....

WE ad it tough.

well, as a club we have just got 3 Club 500's and will throttle these back so that members of the public can cause ~~carnage~~ some fun for themselves. easier if its done via a programmable transmitter, also we can limit the throttle curve as well!

Oh, so helpful, -moderated-, thanks a bunch.

Your wit has left me me less than impressed. I asked a valid question and one of you answered it albeit with names and numbers I don't understand, but thanks anyway.
I would be delighted to take any of those old sets you laugh at off your hands by the way to look just right in my 50 year old boats.
Seriously folks, pass them my way. My old REP was stolen. I'd have had that for 47 years this Christmas AND it would be in my Crash Tender too along with the Taycol Supermarine motor.

All the old stuff you mention was leading to the ideal of proportional control, however obtained and with transistorised digital proportional we all got our dream. Anything else is merely overlaying and just plain flash, but that's fine if that's what makes your day.

I thought the point of a forum was to disseminate help, not just sit back and take the-moderated-.

My Hobby King 2.4Ghz radio, which is identical to the Turborix version in every way except for the brand stickers, needed to have the rudder servo travel adjusted, and the only way to do this is on a computer. It was very easy to do, and the servo now travels to its full extent, giving better rudder control.

The main reason I ventured into the wonderful world of 2.4Ghz radio was the fact that no frequency keys are required, and one does not have to worry about frequency clashes. The radios are also very cheap and appear to be well built. I was not attempting to "Keep up with the watery Joneses", but simply moving with the times and allowing myself more time on the water without using someone else's frequency. The disadvantage is that you have to have a computer to modify the transmitter settings but, having said that, one of our elderly members (he is even older than me

) bought one, and it worked just fine without any modifications. Perhaps he was lucky because even servo reversing needs to be done on the PC.

vintagent · « **Reply #99 on:** May 19, 2010, 10:23:03 am »

Thanks, Peter, an answer at least.
So this 2.4 stuff is, what, unlimited? In numbers on the water? I can see an appeal in that, obviously, but a big turn off about modifying it on a computer.

Now, would you explain the need for servo reversing, et al and the need for so many functions (as we dinosaurs grew up calling propo "channels" as seperate from tone channels).

Martin, I thought that was mild enough Timothy Language. I'll know in future. Replace "moderated" with "mickey" pretty much.

I would also point out that not all of us have a bottomless pit of play money.
I use my old stuff because it still does exactly what it used to and that was exactly what I wanted of it. My boats are no different so why would I spend unnecessarily on new gear, though Heaven knows the new stuff is inexpensive. The question is...is it cheap?

Vintagent
