I know, best to forget all about UK based suppliers etc and source them from Hong Kong or the US as they post world wide plus you won't be ripped of by being charged the VAT (20% tax the local's pay) from which we are exempt.

hi.i use these on all my power boats,they are great,it has a small switch on the handle where you can adjust the amount of movement on the rudder servo when going,great for setting up at speed,it also has trim adjustment,end adjustment and more, :-))


hi mate
my FS GT3 arrived yesterday  :}  i have it working  :-))  [size=78%], had to do REV on servo setting as it was [/size]steering[size=78%] the wrong way,and had to set the ESC up as it was running at full noise [/size]
with out pulling the triger, then i thought i "xxxxx" it up as it blew the 5amp fuse i had in the line from the batt put a 15amp one all good (its a 25 amp viper ESC )


then i was playing round with the settings trying to slow the steering down and lost servo movement for about an hour till i figgered out  i had turned it down to much  :embarrassed:


i then but the model in the pool for a run .
i find the steering to direct , can i adjust the amount travel relevant to the amount of wheel ?
and the rev trigger(pushing it away from you with yer finger ) does go in REV but if you push the triger all the way to the stop it cuts the motor out can i adjust the stop out
thanks for any help
PS how long do the 8x AA BATT last in the controller i put 8 new ones in and after about 2 hours setting it up they were down 10v ?
i will use rechargeable ones from now on

hi.on the handle there is 2 switches.the top one will adjust the throw on the steering,move it forward for more back for less,when you find the ideal setting remember to lock it in by press the big button on the top and then the right smaller one then the left smaller one that locks in the settings,failing to do this everytime you switch the handset of it goes back to the old settings if not lock in,abit of a pain i know bvut easy when you have done it a few times,there are end point movement in the display screen for all channels,play about with these just try and remember where there are now so you can go back to them,if you havent locked them in then just turn the handset of and back on and it will go back to the old settings,hope this helps? regards kurt %%

hi
i gather you are referring to the button marked DR ? what does  duel range mean
it does reduce the amount of rudder ,but i need the full amount of rudder to maneuver  the boat ,just not all at ounce
 


does your handset cut out in REVERSE if you push the trigger out to far??


thanks for the tip on locking the settings in
thanks Bob
