Power Supply For Sr3000 Receiver

[Martijnvt]

Hi guys,

I always drove with a FM Radio and recently bought a new DX2 Spektrum radio, which I am very please with, but there is something that just doesn't work.

I use a Duratrax unlimited Turn Esc and using a futaba receiver I have power supply via my throttle wire. However when I connect the SR3000 receiver it does not get the power from the throttle wire... so basically I have no power unless I hook up 4 separate penlites sort of speak.

Is this normal for this receiver?

Thanks already for reading!

Cheers,

Martijn

no, shouldn't be... open up the RX's case and you'll see the +ve & -ve pins

are each connnected together across the 3 plugs anyway, its all the same circuit.

You can plug 'power' into any of the 3 servoplug positions and it'll work.

My SR3000s all work fine with Novak ESC & 1 servo, leaving 'batt' plug empty.

Check that your ESC is indeed supplying power, could be a dirty switch or blown BEC fuse.

took the receiver apart and the connection of the throttle etc were on loose ends a bit. Melted it together again and now it is working! I bought it for a cheap price, but practical new Now I know why it was this cheap

anyways it works! thanks guys
